SCOTTAOK1234 11 #1 Posted May 27, 2016 1ST OF ALL HIIIIIII !! everyone - I have just inherited these 2 little tractors in the uk and I do not know much about them except whats listed below and would love some feedback as to what I should ask for them when I sell them please and info I could put with them please - I think 1 of them is a c-145 - kohler engine - approx. 1980's and its just had a new kohler engine fitted prior to me getting it a few days ago . the other might be a lawn ranger ? commando 800 ? 1970's ? they come both fully working and in just excellent condition and the 800 has just had all brand new engine parts and electrics fitted too . they also come with paperwork and manuals and paperwork showing that they were both in the uk's great dorset steam fair.s so that's pretty cool I guess . 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,229 #4 Posted May 27, 2016 Welcome to Red Square. With those horses being in London, it is very possible that they were put together in Belgium. If so, the model numbers are not the same as those put together in the States. The horses will be similar, but there will be certain differences. Here is a list of the model numbers that came out of Belgium. I would check them with the manuals and paper work you have. Let us know. Just click on the link below. The 2nd one is not a Lawn Ranger...it kind of looks like a B-80, B-100 or a C-series. Both are nice horses. We have quite a few Brits here on the site, you will get a better idea on prices from them when they see this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #5 Posted May 27, 2016 The 2nd one looks like a B-80 or C-81 if it has the motor bolted to a shaker plate then it's probably a C-81 hard to tell in the pics 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 7,795 #8 Posted May 28, 2016 I believe the first one is a c-145 if it came originally with a 14hp. 125 if it came with a 12 etc. It's a C-1_5 for sure. The other machine I believe is a B-80, 1974-77. I think the later models came with 8 speed transmissions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2Many 14 #9 Posted May 31, 2016 Looks to me like that second tractor has the single brake/clutch pedal on the left. Didn't the B-80 have a separate brake and clutch pedal, one on each side? Plus it has the older style PTO engagement lever. I'm thinking something pre B-80. Hmmm, but it does have the attach-a-matic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,888 #11 Posted May 31, 2016 The second one appears to be a 1972 or '73. It is not a B-80. The PTO actuator is a rod, not lever type, and it has a red plastic gas tank. Red tanks ended in 1973. As far as value? I can't say what you would get in the UK, so I'll let the chaps over there give you that info. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 7,795 #12 Posted May 31, 2016 Good eye Bob, I didn't catch the PTO rod and not a lever. I didn't know red tanks ended in 73, learn something new every day thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,576 #13 Posted June 1, 2016 I have a 74 C120 that had a red tank and a 75 C120 that had a black tank, years ago when I bought the second C120 (75) shortly after I bought it should I say the motor blew it's rod so I swapped tanks for whatever reason and never swapped back even after I had the motor rebuilt on the 75. we may not be taking into consideration that it is a European model and may differ from American made models eric j 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
