C 125

[steader 26]

Looking at a C-125. Has a tiller, mower deck, ag, turf tires, cleaves hitch. He bought it new in 83. Garage kept. never seen the rain original seat is mint. oil change every 50 hrs.

1000 hrs on it. He is asking $1.050.  Runs great. Should I pull the triger?

Yes and here's a tip. I had a 73 no name that I bought from the original owner. Never saw rain. The first time it rained when it was outside when I owned it the rain left waterspots that would not come off no matter what I did. If you have a landfill or powerplant in your area wax that hood good first thing. and if it gets rained on get it dried off ASAP!

Great tractor the C-125. Mine was the first Wheel Horse I owned. Been joined by two more C series.

Great choice!

 

Love the black Hoods!

Nice find, I think that’s a fair price. Be careful, these things tend to multiply. Ask just about anyone here!

I have the same tractor, l bought it from the original owners son with a tiller and good deck. Mine does not have a hour meter but it runs very good. I bought it in 2010 for about the same $, no regrets. It was the second WH I have owned, I bought a 520-H new in 1989. I now have sixteen, it very well may have been seventeen if you didn't beat me to it. Congratulations, you made a great decision and saved me explaining to my bride how on earth I possibly could use another tractor. Gives me until tomorrow to come up with seven teen's justification.

Should you buy it.....coming here with that question is akin to going in a bar and asking the fella next to you if you should order a drink. Very nice tractor from the guy on the next stool down😝

Yes, the crazy thing, mine has the aggie back tires also , originals came with it. I use it to till my big gardens every year and a few friends. The seller told me it came with a plastic seat pan, his father backed into something and broke it shortly after he got it. The dealer put the medal one on for free. A year later I bought a C-105, same thing from a father's son, with a good deck and high shoot snow thrower. The seat pan is plastic. That was number three, four 5-18H, five 418-8 six 1067, it started so innocent, once I joined red square I found I was not alone, I have become, wheel horse crazy. You know when you spend more on batteries than food, you're, wheel horse crazy. You may have time to escape, but i doubt it.

I just found this video, and I was clueless about almost everything in this video.  Do you do this to your engines?  Is this overkill?

 

Worth checking out this thread for starters. Make sure that engine keeps on purring.

It will need looking after despite being well built, remember she's an old lady and not to be raced or rallied.

If you need to know anything you're in the right place.

This is my C-125 renovation.....

From this

To this...

I purchased my first Wheel Horse new in1984, a Work Horse GT-1800. Then slowly but surely it turned into this, and actually I have acquired two more since this picture was taken a few years ago!! So like the guys here said, they tend to multiply!!! 

[Mickwhitt 4,624]

Tiller tines look to be in very good shape, not to much wear!

Sweet set set up read to go!

You ever get the chance to come out towards New England see if you can time it to one of the shows that Don goes to. 

He's good people.
