aghead 72 #1 Posted November 23, 2018 Hope all had a good and thankful Thanksgiving. I picked up my first team of Wheel Horses today, a B-80 and a C -101.The C hadn't ran in 2+ yrs. Took about 2 hours now the 10hp knickers sweetly! For now, I plan to get the C all stock (incl wheels/tires) and working seamlessly for pushing and towing, I do not plan to go for cosmetic restore, just mechanical. The B-80 will need more attention, later. It has a mower deck with zero rust! Did I mention,,,My first Wheel Horses!! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,724 #2 Posted November 23, 2018 Two great horses. However, starting with two your doomed. They breed live rabbits and you will soon have many more 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old timers put one tire forward, one backward...traction both directions, at least on farm tractors with cuttin' brakes and lockable rear.? Thank you.

I built my shop for repairing big tractors, bulldozers, backhoes, dumptrucks...This GT takes up sooo much less room! I feel the hook diggin' in. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1940willys 120 #17 Posted November 27, 2018 I too have the same machines, B80 and a C101. They both have Rear Discharge mowers on them. I let my daughter borrow the C unit for her place 60 miles away. The C is in rougher shape than the B but I have restored/ made usable. It has preformed well so far this summer. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
