ebinmaine 67,508 #4454 Posted April 19, 2020 While I was messing around learning how to weld, Trina and her mom were building a little hedgerow in the front yard. There is going to be yellow forsythia some sort of purple bush plant deal and some small evergreens mixed in. It'll be a border on the front lawn. They used her favorite 867 and her 1976/7 Ohio Steel trailer to mix and move the loam and Pro Mix. 5 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,508 #4456 Posted April 20, 2020 I split a bit of wood and Trina and her mom used the 867 "Pigpen" to move it to the woodshed. Making decent progress on next year's firewood stock. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
76c12091520h 3,620 #4457 Posted April 20, 2020 Had the 854 out today for something else and was getting ready to put it away when I thought hey, let's do this ! First time this machine has cut grass in over 30 years and the first time in about 40 years that I've cut grass with a 60's era Horse. Not the 520 with a recycler deck, but the old girl did ok. 5 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 2,062 #4461 Posted April 20, 2020 I tried using the 800S to pull down a tree yesterday but it didn't have the oomph. Every time I got the rope tight the rear of the tractor started lifting up and lost traction. The tree I wanted didn't fall in the direction I wanted and got stuck in another tree which then also got cut down. I didn't want to cut it yet because it was still healthy, but it was of the same type as the one I originally wanted down, and very close, so eventually it would have posed the same threat. Now I have two locust trees to cut up and season for next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chip61 658 #4462 Posted April 20, 2020 I bought this C141 last fall as a backup machine. I knew it had some issues when I bought it, but the more I looked, the more problems came up. Hard to start, ran rough, no power and wouldn't idle. Hydro was sluggish (barely moved in reverse) and alt not charging. On the positive side, tractor was pretty clean and came with a very nice 48" deck. So over the winter I went to work on it and I've given it a good workout the past couple weekends. I have to say I really like this machine! The one thing I really like on this and the Eaton hydro machines is the actual drum brake-the only thing I dislike about my C160. Since parts of it have been repainted (I don't like the color) I think I will probably put a quick paint job on it with new decals. Does anyone know if this hood will interchange with a hood off the earlier C series?? I know the rear fender pan is different. 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know the rear fender pan is different I once took in a parts machine that was all manner of discombobulation. Most of it was early 70s. Hood had C111 stickers. Just curious... What's different about the fender pan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chip61 658 #4464 Posted April 20, 2020 Early C series had the pan that tilted back, later ones were bolted down (I think they changed when the fuel tank was moved under the seat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starting in 76 they were still the old C. Style and had bolted pans. (I have a 74 with a parts pile 77.) I've never tried to interchange the pans but boy do they look close to identical other than mounting points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The C- 41 had the gas tank under the seat the hole for the gas won't be there on older C seat pans. The 1976 and 1977 fender pans the bolt down hole will match but you have to saw a hole for the gas tank. You could also use a 300,400 and 500 fender pan they will bolt right on with the gas tank hole. Don't have a hinged fender pan the the hole may be the same.
