BillA 19 #1 Posted April 18, 2020 Just today I got my first Wheel Horse. It's a model C-101, the serial number is 81-10K801-14426 below there is a number of 8129. I was told it's a 78 year. Can anyone help me to confirm that? I know nothing about wheel horse but looking forward to learning. Thanks in advance for you help. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,785 #7 Posted April 19, 2020 @BillA and congrats on your new machine! I’ve had a C-101 and it was quite the machine! It’s now living life in a few of my tractors and some extra parts are on the shelf! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use it as a mower or do you have any other attachments? I believe a member here has a headlight bucket for sale in the classified section if you don't already have one. We also have a "Other brands" section. I clicked on your profile and it looks like you also probably have some yellow tractors as well. Feel free to post about them too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,663 #15 Posted April 19, 2020 Wow that looks like it’s in great shape! Is it missing a mower deck wheel? If so the correct ones are readily available. Welcome to Red Square! You’ll meet the nicest people here. Just a word of caution, these things tend to multiply once you realize what great well built and versatile they are! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillA 19 #16 Posted April 19, 2020 Yes it is missing a mower wheel. The deck is in pretty bad shape. At some point would maybe like to find a replacement. This one has been patched and currently has a few holes. And yes I have a couple of yellow ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
