N3PUY 1,031 #1 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I picked this up today. $50. No motor or PTO pulleys. The rest of it looks good. No decal for the model. Here's some pics. Here's another hint ............. 81-10K801 Edited October 28, 2015 by N3PUY 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian01 481 #3 Posted October 28, 2015 Dannng that's a slick C-101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3PUY 1,031 #4 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Yep .... that's what I think it is too ........... just because it still has the ID plate on it. The PO has the motor for it but didn't want to sell it. So it's setting on his garage floor. It's got the shaker plate on it BUT I have the mounts for the shaker plate. So mine has the incorrect hood decals ????? Edited October 28, 2015 by N3PUY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,602 #5 Posted October 28, 2015 Not sure on the decal. Mine is a '79 and these are the decals Terry supplied for that year.BTW, your 101 looks much better than mine did when I started the make over.You got a bargain @ $50. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #6 Posted October 28, 2015 Agreed, couldn't buy the wheels n tires off of it for that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #7 Posted October 28, 2015 The decals are not correct they are from 73 to about 77 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,051 #8 Posted October 28, 2015 I like it. I think the hood decals should match the rear fender decal probably. I'd a gave $50 for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,602 #9 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Here is a pic of the rear decal , and it does look like the one on yours. Edited October 28, 2015 by ekennell 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,544 #10 Posted October 28, 2015 Looks much cleaner that the parts C-101 I bought this summer for the 8 speed swap, and I've got more into mine by far. Good find! Wanna trade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 4,874 #11 Posted October 28, 2015 Nice looking ride. It is fun to work on these tractors. As I posted a Springfield brand a few days ago you really appreciate how well these tractors are made when you work on other brands. You think What the H.. why did they do that? Gary B.....

WHX?? 46,690 #12 Posted October 28, 2015 Eight speed alone is worth that tires & rims a bonus. Maybe the day it was produced they happened to be out of the "correct" decals for the hood so they put on whatever they had.You need one of Bud's exhaust stacks for that beast Ed...nice 101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #13 Posted October 28, 2015 I'll tell ya what I'd do, I'd give $55 for it today, that way you make money on it ...just joking lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,602 #14 Posted October 28, 2015 I'd give $55 for it today, Brian. I bet you shop @ Home Cheapo. I'll double your money N3PUY, if Hyde, Pa is less than 100 Miles from me. And the bidding starts. Eight speed alone is worth that tires & rims a bonus.

Brian01 481 #17 Posted October 28, 2015 Lol....A Very large map, you are in the farrrrr right hand corner. Over a yard stick away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3PUY 1,031 #18 Posted October 28, 2015 I talked to the PO today and he said he was offered $200 for the motor. He thinks it was rebuilt by his dad who passed away. I asked if I could have the shaker plate if he sold it (or not). I told him it was part of the tractor. I have a motor I could mount on it and then it would be a C121. But some things will have to wait until spring. (6 months from now). The garage gets taken over by the wife's car in the winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #19 Posted October 28, 2015 $200 is too steep. But $50-100, now that's logical. Oh nvm...the motor not mower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,863 #20 Posted October 28, 2015 Light switch on the dash, but no light in the hood. I think the hood is not original and from a '73 to '77. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #21 Posted October 28, 2015 Good eye.. Although, may have had one at one time, then someone just put the cover in there later on to cover the whole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk See where the hood and grille come together ..... there's a hole and it's bent around it .... may have had "bug-eye" lights. ?

Brian01 481 #23 Posted October 28, 2015 I see that in that one pic...yeah id say they had lights on it at one time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3PUY 1,031 #24 Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Well, I got the original motor for the C101. He finally came down to $100. It was not rebuilt from what I can see. I mounted it on the tractor. Added a coil and starter solenoid and starter which were missing. Made 2 battery cables. It will run on starting fluid. I was going to replace the fuel lines today but when I looked in the tank there was too much garbage and rust. There was a ton of debris on top of the transmission. So off with the fenders and it got hosed out...... gas tank too! It's sitting in front of the fan drying now. There's a pic of the shutoff valve, it's plugged! There's a crack at the seat mount ... will weld tomorrow. And that muffler has to be changed. I probably should take off the float bowl.
