I like them cause the bottom one is mounted and the top one can be placed on top and removed when not needed. Also theres room for a 80 lb bag of concrete inside the bottom drum, and about 3 bags will fit in the top one. Plenty of flexibility for all tasks. and they are free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,276 #8409 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) I had some fun in the shop today. The two black hoods are moving slowly as it seems every system on the tractor needs attention. This tractor was a pig when it came in and so much leaked oil on it that it caught on fire while welding..... so today, i decided to abandon the wiring harness and use the excellent electrical diagrams in the electrical section. If the tractor ever gets sold, the new owner will have a nice runner with the safety circuits still there waiting for use. I hardly touched the key and she fired right up. you really cannot complain about the $17 carbs they sell on EBay. These tractors are quite a lot to do when they need stuff that has been neglected as well as new fluids, cleaned up, slow or not so slow leaky tires. Man what a feeling when they fire right up!! Gonna slip an edit in here as to what comes next. There are two 141,145 Black hoods, although i am not sure which is what until I match the hoods back up. the pretty 145 needs the gas tank hooked up and the 141 sounds like a little Harley at idle. the c-160 just cranks and starts in any condition down below freezing. the PO had given up on her after two years, but it was just wiring, (and he builds hot rod Chevys ] I got it for a song. I just got a free Mazda battery charged up with a build dateof 12/19 that will swap into the C-160, so the c-160 battery can be used in the c-121 that had a bad case of a carbonized head.. So the four that i bought way too fast thisfall that all have run on testing should be start with the key and have installed batteries in them. Still a few repairs to go after that , but they will be external stuff like pulleys and changing out gear oil. A good way to start the year Edited January 3, 2021 by ohiofarmer 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My inclination would be to tell you to pop one of your own wheels and tires off and bring it to your local Big box store. Most of them have a selection of different types and sizes and you should be able to match something up that way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
