hey guys,

i am new to the site and wanted to say hi and how much i am enjoying this sight. i have owned a wheelhorse c-125 for about 9 yrs now (given to me by my father).

allpictures494-1-2.jpg

in the fall of last year the engine seized from too much cottonwood in the fins. :whistle: i changed the oil all the time, but never thought about cleaning the fins. so i let it sit thru the winter and in the spring i pulled the engine and gave it to someone to fix. i went onto the net to find info and ran across this site. really enjoyed what i read and was learning more and more about wheel horses. i also have a snapper rer and didnt like it on the slopes (walkout basement). so i went out to find a replacement for the snapper. found a listing on craigslist for a b-80 and a simp. 7016 for a decent price. rented a u-haul trailer and made a roadtrip. came home with this.

i have never wanted or needed another tractor and now i have four. thanks for the inspiration. my wife may say otherwise. anyway i would like to tear into the b-80 for a restore and decided to tear into the 36 rd deck first. i wear earplugs on the b-80 to cut and the deck is still to loud. stupid non-greasing spindles. anyway i will thank you in advance for my upcoming questions and ill throw up a bunch of pics now and during my restore.

btw this is the wallpaper on my computer at work. what do you think?

i must explain, i do not have an acre to cut. there is no reason for me to have these 4 tractors. i live in the city. my family laughs at me and coworkers tease, but yet i am still addicted to it. i guess it is cheaper than online poker, i think. B)

Welcome from another newbie to the board. If you have restore questions, then send me a Private message. I just finished one.

I am a newbie to the WH forum , but not new to grinding the paint off of stuff.

You have inadvertently raised a good question.

How many Wheel horses can one park on an acre of ground? B)

I have 8 Wheel Horses and a Craftsman :whistle: (always point out it's Kohler powered.) on a quarter acre.

Ive got 2 and it takes me twice as long to mow with tractors as it does to push mow because the yard is so small. But i still love them and hope to get more down the road.

Dan the man....Welcome to RS....now when ya count em' Horses, ya got to remember that famous saying....Honey, I only have one...them others are just "parts tractors".....so they don't count....I think someone on RS coined that phrase along time ago.

And last but not least.....remember...The boy with the most toys WINS!!!

Welcome from another newbie! You know that "glass half full" business? Well, while they are making fun of you only for having 4 (I only have 3 1/2!), at least you have room to grow your herd, still! :banana:

B) I feel like the odd man out in this thread. I have 17 Acres and I mow 5 acres and I have only 4 horses(3 red ,1 gray) 5 of the yellow (or yarrow as my grandson used to say) brand (CC) and 3 Kubota ( 1 -4wd that mowes, 1- 4wd that has TLB, and the last zero turn for mowing) along with verious other mowers that are moved or dragged in. As my wife says and I quote " My husband don't drink,smoke,or do anything bad, He just has a incurrable sickness for collecting TRACTORS!!!!!. So as the others have said you just got your toes DAMP. :whistle:
