AHS 1,440 #1 Posted July 24, 2019 I’m proud of this, a 1973 wheel horse 14 hp hydrostatic transmission, with a 42” RD. All I had to do to get this running is install new fuel lines, a fuel pump, battery and a spark plug. It runs sweet!! 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,799 #3 Posted July 24, 2019 Just got done mowing my sister in-law’s place. She said it was really bad, so I brought “Jane”, my Plain Jane Commando 6 along in case I needed to do any sweeping. By the way... I miss having dogs, but I don’t miss all the poop! 5 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #7 Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Hey Kev, how about a sicklebar frontmower on the Horse, so you don‘t spray the Poo, just sickle it... 😂 I use just my 212 „Allround Workhorse“ with an attached 36“ mowerdeck and an Sweeper behind. That does all in one. Edited July 24, 2019 by Tractorhead 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,647 #8 Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) My main mowers C-120/180 and 520-H both with 48" side discharge decks. The 312-8 was used today it moves right along with the 25" rear tires. I used Forest Gump for clearing small brush and around fields. Then the 1958 22" Eddleman for triming and ditches and banks. I have 4 1/2 acres and mow a little over 2 acres. We also have 28 acre farm next door with a acre or so. My brother is taking care of it now. I will get the leafs up around Thanksgiving.

Stepney 2,325 #11 Posted July 24, 2019 Been taking my WH's work back from the old JD slow but sure. I use a WorkHorse GT '14'-48 'Twingle" lately, with the original 48" the tractor came with. Works great for the few properties I manage. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #15 Posted July 24, 2019 Mow with my '82 C-125 and 42"RD. The '79 C-81 fitted with '62 sickle gets some use as well. 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,311 #16 Posted July 24, 2019 Glad to see a couple of you using other brands ....I’m one of those guys as well. So probably 70% is done with my Craftsman with a 46” deck and a triple bagger setup and 30% is done with my WH C-105 with a 42SD. That’s my dad mowing my yard with the C-105 last year when I was laid up with a leg infection. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see the twin scheme and single cylinder, but my ‘67 Puch 250 truly is a twingle! Two pistons, one combustion chamber 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't brand new when I got it. But a little elbow grease and proper lighting makes it look pretty good, huh? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next year, around show time, I want to look for a Ranger or Suburban for my boy. I'll mount up one of my 327 decks to it and let him mow. The only reason I don't let him do it already is because his legs are too short to reach the pedals on the 855. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,401 #22 Posted July 25, 2019 I generally mow with my K321 powered C120. Next time, though, the deck will be going on my new C160 to see how well it does! @Stepney Is that an Economy I see in the background? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
