Kelly 1,029 #1 Posted January 26, 2008 I was just contacted by a person that has a C-195 no attachments 390hr.s on it. That's all I know about it right now I asked if it had rear pto and the 3 point. Is there things about the tractor I should look at? other than the normal stuff does the engine have problems I should look for? he said it has a 19hp Kohler I only have one Kohler twin a M18 and it has 1000+ hours on it and runs good puffs alittle when starting. I know this is a different tractor than the regular C's just want to look at anything special on this one. He's asking $750 I'm not sure I can go that high but I'll look at it, and let you guy's have a crack at it if I have to pass. Kelly in MI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #2 Posted January 26, 2008 Kelly, The series one engines had some oiling problems, the later series engines were much better. That's the only weak link that I know of on these tractors. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #4 Posted January 27, 2008 I forgot to say it earlier, but at $750.00 it wouldn't matter if it had a blown engine, I would buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 11,877 #5 Posted January 27, 2008 The only two things I'd look at: Will it fit in the trailer, and where do I find an ATM close by? Get it if you can! Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #6 Posted January 27, 2008 It will fit the trailer I have a 18' car hauler so that's covered, but If I use the ATM to buy a tractor the wife would have my hide, I have a tractor fund buying and selling stuff and do pretty good at it, but I've bought more than sold lately, so funds are low . But I'm trying to find the money, I have some stuff to get rid of. Taking donations Kelly in MI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curmudgeon 28 #7 Posted January 27, 2008 That's where I've went wrong!!! Always buy, never sell. I find it hard to part with ANYTHING. This spring is gonna hurt................. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #8 Posted January 27, 2008 I don't sell the red stuff, I pick up all the tractors I can find, any brand and sell them or if they are ruff part them out. I also buy stuff at yard sales, auctions ect.... and sell, I've been amazed at what sells on Ebay That,s how I've got all my horse's. Kelly in MI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
