Sparky-(Admin) 21,743 #1 Posted March 27, 2022 …and crud!! It came home with me. What is it? A rough 1974 C-100/8 speed. Included a similarly rough 42” plow. What caught my eye? Those new Carlisle All-Trails on the rear. What will I do with it? Keep the rear rims/tires at a minimum and sell the rest. Pics of course.. 15 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darb1964 1,085 #3 Posted March 27, 2022 That's the look I love, depending on what it takes to bring it back for work duty, that ten is a great worker. Good luck with it, my wife thinks I'm nuts too. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,743 #5 Posted March 27, 2022 The main reason (ok, only reason) I bought it..I really like the Carlisle All Trail tires. The plan will be go paint up the rims and install em on this tractor to replace the AG’s 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

midpack 933 #9 Posted March 27, 2022 Last Horse I got was just because it had a nice set of steel weights on the rear wheels. What I paid for the whole machine was about what the weights were worth. Of course the machine has joined the stable and has become a sweet 312-8 (K series, so early) go-to plow machine! With the price of gas, it might be my primary mower this year. Those 12hp machines sip 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 13,101 #14 Posted March 28, 2022 Trust me Mike, you needed it! If you bought it for the tires, I'm guessing you got it cheap. Win-win in my book! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
