C-101 Refresh

[Helmer67 34]

I just wrapped up my C101 project.  Cleaned up, block bored .01, crank ground, new piston, rings, valves. Fixed the brake pad. New spring for clutch. New seat. Flushed trans new gear oil new boot replaced leaking axle seal   New Deestone tires on back and Hi-Runs front. Straightened out wiring for lights. Picked up a decent 42 deck and new belts ready. Ready to go back to work again!!

Tractor looks great , should last many years! Just curious what’s hiding under the 

blanket?

 to  @Helmer67!  Tractor looks great!  I too am interested what’s behind the cover!

[Achto 28,194]

 Great looking tractor!! What model of Pontiac do you have hiding under the cover??

nice job!

[Helmer67 34]

Also found a new old stock muffler. The rear tires are 23X8.5 12. I’m happy with them 

 

Under cover is the Goat

Nice!

Double nice - Goat and a Horse!

Going by your handle,  I'm assuming that's a 67 GTO 

[Pullstart 63,559]

We better tell @PeacemakerJack about this...

[Helmer67 34]

The Horse is a 78. The Goat is 67. 

Thanks for the comments!

That looks like a new seat. Where did you find one? I have a C-101 that needs a new seat.

[Helmer67 34]

I think that is a Michigan V-350 that I got from Northern Tool or Amazon.

helmer 67, nice job on the horse, nothing at all compares today , you really went after the problem issues, if you want to pull out that paint, i use a penetrating  oil soaked rag , to basically rub out  and feed the paint , then after a rubdown i use a paint cutter liquid to buff it out . works well, and i like the "  character  " look  of a cleaned tractor , instead of a show queen . just my own opinion, pete , in ledyard ct

Did you have to drill that seat to fit it on the  Wheel horse? I have one on my 312 that is just garbage!

[Helmer67 34]

I did not have to drill or modify this seat to fit.

Branford here.  Just picked up a C101 over the summer.  Happy to be in the club... and great looking machines both!

I like the horse,nice job!! I had a 67 gto biggest mistake I have made was when I sold it. Might have killed myself in it by now, almost did a few times. Never was into speed until I got behind the wheel of that baby, that 400, 400 combo would get it done.
