BadDad 1 #1 Posted June 15, 2008 Hello all I have two wheel horse tractors. C 160 & A 1100 special. The C 160 was my Dads, & the 1100 special I got in 1984. I am trying to restore them back to original as I can. There is nothing wrong with either one of them. I mow with the C 160 & do yard work with the 1100 special. (What little mowing there is here in Austin Texas). Just wanted to say hello. I don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karl, I hate to disagree, but we do have another member from Texas - I just can't recall his name. He hasn't posted on the site in a while. Baddad, Like it has been mentioned, we like pictures. Under edit: Now I remember his name is Ted and his username is xPosTech. I knew I would remember someday. :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadDad 1 #13 Posted June 15, 2008 I live out side of Austin TX. Town called Pflugerville. I used to live & work in Ohio (Little Hocking). I had an electronic business there. Retired to Fl bought some real state there 4 years of hurricanes & I left. I like the heat better than the cold so I just came to Austin. My boys are here & my grandsons.

HorseFixer 2,012 #14 Posted June 16, 2008 10-4 Dad on the heat! Yeah the Winters up here can get trying at times, no doubt. I have been all though Texas, West Texas, San Angelo, South To McAllen, Brownsville, Padre Island, El Paso, Houston and Austin, and just about all points in between. Nice state but Boy can It get HOT! Whew... I have done alot of golfing down there, & Its alot more fun visiting than working in the HVAC field when your right out in it evereyday One thing about painting a tractor down there it wont take long to dry out in the Texas Sun! Well anyways welcome aboard! Duke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
