ljsdad414 101 #1 Posted April 21, 2022 After missing out on 2 C195’s over the past couple years, I finally brought one home tonight. A hour and a half drive, and $250 later it was in the back of my truck on the way home. It definitely needs work, but I think I did alright. No 3 point, unfortunately. I plan on doing a refurb on it, but it will have to go to the back of the line for now. I can’t wait to get to it. With the C 195, my black hood collection is almost complete. The pictures aren’t the best, I will get it unloaded tomorrow night and take more. 7 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,592 #2 Posted April 21, 2022 That'll be a beast when done up. Know anything about the condition? Does it run etc...? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The PTO bell is missing, i am not sure if that is specific to the C 195. The rear fender is in suprisingly decent shape, only has a crack by the fuel fill. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,016 #10 Posted April 21, 2022 Nice catch. I just picked one up late last summer. Similar visual condition, but mine was running. I believe that the PTO bell is specific to the C195. NOS parts are available but are pricey. It is a beast. Other than the 'try to move a tree' transmission test, I haven't really worked it hard yet. No, it didn't move the 18" oak I tested it on - a 3" maple might be a different story, though.... Good luck and have fun with it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex175 784 #11 Posted April 21, 2022 I'll second that welcome to the Super C club! It's a fun club to be in, plenty of power, some added versatility, and a whole bunch of unique parts haha. Wait till you get that KT19 running, the sounds the Kohler Twins produce is nothing short of majestic. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That it is, it's a fantastic tractor, I've made all sorts of attachments for the 3 point to help me around the yard and it really gets the job done. Still haven't found a rear PTO for it yet, and not sure my wallet could handle me getting one anyway haha. I think there was less than 1,000 of the 84 model made from information I have gleaned over the years, possibly as few as 500? Don't know if there is an official number out there, but it would be cool to find out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,828 #16 Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Yep rear PTO is hens teeth and the only reason I traveled for this one. came with a rear finish mower & tiller. Very heavy attachments and will pull the front right up without weights. Since sold the mower but tiller is going to be for deer food plots. Down side is the motor smokes so just gonna run it till she dies then a repo of sorts. KT series one not worth rebuilding and I have alot of slopes it needs to run on. Any one know what this is for? Mid mower? Edited April 22, 2022 by WHX?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,828 #17 Posted April 22, 2022 WH also offered a pedal kit but again hens teeth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,016 #19 Posted April 22, 2022 Yup, that is for the mid mower. Maybe needed for tiller or rear PTO? Oh, yeah - the front mule drive needed for the mid mower only has one pulley. I'm pretty sure it is unique to the C195. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob18Z 0 #20 Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Well, you all talked me into getting a Wheelhorse..ha! I'll put some pics up when it gets here..It is a 312-8, with tiller and rear hitch items the guy had. Here is the ID tag. Looks to be pretty early in production for the 200000000 series numbers.

Needs a couple guards but I think 1200 shipped was fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it had a cone type PTO, but since your not a collector That has to have all original parts. Take off the extra part and set it up with a standard PTO just like on your other black hoods. They work on the 520 and it will work on the C-195.. Edited April 24, 2022 by Lee1977 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will probably set it up with a PTO from a 520. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
