Greentored 3,201 #1 Posted May 15, 2020 Guy had a C120 hydro minus engine listed for a song, 4 miles away. I thought heck, maybe parts I need or a complete donor trans for the 1277. Came home with this. I now have two working 8 speeds, a potential working hydro, and a crap ton of parts. Oh, and he threw in a 42” mower deck with no holes. I don’t even know what the heck I bought🤣 according to the decals a C120, C81, and two mystery machines. Any guesses? 9 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,271 #5 Posted May 15, 2020 The C120 is a 76 or 77. Others I can't tell. That would be a great one to restore and get running!!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greentored 3,201 #9 Posted May 18, 2020 So far the C120 trans saved my main machine- a 1277 with a hydro that gets weak when it warms up. Nice to have something that will make it up the step into the shop at the end of the day haha. @ebinmaine there still hope to save the 120....I really would like a long frame with an 8 speed, and just happen to have a pair of these now too 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever you need for parts, let me know. If the shipping is in too much of a killer I'd give you a heck of a deal if I have anything you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What we need is a fall Big Show so we can all bring our parts and do some Horse trading..... pun intended ha. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greentored 3,201 #12 Posted May 18, 2020 PS- Im seriously considering making one of the little ones into the trail bomber and putting the 654 back to work duty before I ruin it. Would've never done that to it but there wasnt much left to start with. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,787 #13 Posted May 19, 2020 I think you just need another trail bomber... it no reason to make that 654 anything else! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
