briankd 816 #1 Posted September 20, 2016 well finally got this 1976 C 120 bought for 300 bucks as is. pick it up latter this week. turned the 10 hrse over by hand and it does have great compression yet . has firestone ags on rear and a tiller lift bracket on back. also has 48 inch deck that is in great condition solid no holes. this machine is complete no parts missing. plan is to get it running and use it this fall then tear it down this winter and do a complete restore. the lens on the front headlight is broke anyone on here make reproductions? the headlight bucket fine just lens is broke. also what wheel color does the C series have from factory white or almond? was at my local wheel horse dealer asking about this tractor and the gentleman says he knew the original owner of this tractor and remembers when he bought it new from him. also he told me he may still have all the service records for it. it was dealer serviced by him every year. he also remembers he did a complete engine overhaul in the late eighties on this tractor. just amazing how this old guy in his late seventies remembers all this and this specific tractor. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briankd 816 #6 Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) I haven't really looked for headlight lens yet but was just wondering. the guy I bought this tractor says he has one like new somewhere but hell he might put it to me on the price . I am going to sandblast it myself and a guy I work with he the body shop lead guy and he will paint it for me I just have to buy the paint. I have an great paint booth at work I can use. painted my 857 with emron industrial paint color IH red. paint slow to dry but after it dries it a really hard paint. lots of glossy shine to it. painting this the same.
