Hi from Germany

Achto

:WRS: That's a sweet looking tractor, obviously it's been well taken care of through the years. Thank you for sharing a little of its history with us, It's always great to hear about the memories that these old tractors hold for people.

Thanks Achto!
And yes, the C-120 has always been taken care of and even had its own dedicated garage. Everything but the starter and seat is still 100% original.
Thought about restoring the tractor w/ new paint job and all, but figured I would destroy its own unique character. I'll add some new grip tape to the foot rests and just leave the rest like it is!  I did rebuild the deck recently though.

Welcome.:greetings-wavegreen:

Nice tractor and what I consider my favorite size WH. 

Glad the train stopped. You and that tractor would not have looked good riding around Germany on the front of a Locomotive. :auto-swerve:

 I remember my late father saying he was in Aachen during WW II. He was a member of the 30th ID combat medic. Welcome to the Form!

Gueten Tag & Welcome to Red Square  :occasion-xmas:  Tell me about the B-111...does it have the Foote Transmission??  Good story about the train...around me, the train would not be able to stop in time.

Hi stevasaurus,
the B-111 has the 3-speed Peerless. Honestly, I don't know much about this tractor except for it runs and runs.

Hey @mooxster, :text-welcomewave:

 

Awesome story of you and the Horse!  Looking forward to seeing more updates on your adventures with the noble steed :handgestures-thumbupright:

 

We have a “German Kid” (exchange student) who we met 6 years ago and have chased her across the world 4 times now.  She’s from Duisburg and we last visited in late September (Oktoberfest!).

 

Here’s my Jil one of her last visits here riding my 502 “Putt Putt”

:WRS: from :UK: Don't worry about the C-120 being Built in Belgium. So were my '78 C-121 and '79 C-81. ;)

Duisburg is pretty much around the corner, as for US standards.

Welcome to :rs:

und Servus aus Bayern,

nice rig you have,

 

think it’s better to riding on a wheelhorse

instead riding with a wheelhorse on the train.

Hi, Mooxter!

 

Beautiful C-120, and a great story! So glad that conductor helped rather then squashing your tractor! Very much like my C-160.

Thanks!  It was my first restore/refresh.

Rustoleum Regal Red... can’t go wrong!  It’s a 502 in my mind, but really only in sheet metal any more.  The chassis is a ‘64, the transmission is from a ‘78 C-101 and the engine is a K-181T from a leaky tanked air compressor.  Wheels are Hammered Black, tires are Deestones and it’s finished off with a Cherry Bomb stack with the flapper on top.
