Hello everyone my grandfather gave me a 1976 C-120 Automatic. I want to put a front push blade on it eventually but i do not exactly know how it would mount to my tractor. Any pictures or info would help! Then i can proceed to buy the blade.

Here is the blade sold in 1976 but any blade for a long frame Wheel Horse from 1973 up to the last in 2007 will fit. Sorry we don't have the operator manual for this one.

 

Somewhere along the line they increased the width from 42" to 48".

 

Here is the last one to fit with an operator manual.

So i need to buy the one with the long frame? Does it just hook up to the attach a matic system that my 36in deck is attached to? I have the original paperwork that came with it also the deck paperwork to. I have really been enjoying the tractor! i have even looked at buying another one but there are not many to offer where i am located unless i drive a long way!

It will attach to a bracket that is like an attach-a-matic that is attached to your rear axle at the end and the lift handle in the middle.  BTW, Welcome to Red Square :)

Your snow blade will look like this..

Actually, @Fun Engineer (Dave) has a couple for sale.  Click on this link...go to page 6, post #136 and the 13th picture.  You can contact Dave by PM (personnel message).  That is not a bad price either.  :)

Ha! I haven't seen too many of  them around. Most people i ask about them don't have any idea at what they are! If only someone close had a Snow Plow!

You've got one of the rare '74 model Techy powered C-series tractors. Most of them would have had a Kohler K-301. I've got the big brother, a '74 C-160 with the OHV 16 hp Tecumseh. Great engines as long as the solid state ignition keeps going.

I had to put a new Carb on it. I believe my grandpa told me it was a '76 and the original owner (a 2 star general) bought it down in Kerrville, TX.

I just love that guy! I bought the rear bracket that the plow attaches to just a few minutes ago on E-bay! You dont want to know what i went thru to get the carb here!!! Lets just say the wife wasnt happy!!

What i really would like to know is how to hook linkage up so i can raise and lower things i may hook up to the rear of it.

I like the cup holder but it seems a little to far to reach, I figure its for coffee since its above the muffler to keep it warmed. :)
