C-195 with rear mower

Recommended Posts

C-Series14

After I found my C-195, I wanted to add 3 pt. and a rear PTO. I did some research and found the D-Series 3 pt. was the same except for the upper arms and top link mount. I found the upper arms were still available from Toro so I ordered one. Made some hoses and pillow blocks for the upper arms and it was done. Then I needed the hard to find PTO. I went to an all WH auction in Pa. several years ago and while walking around, found a NOS rear PTO for the C-195 still in the box! Well, I camped out beside it until it came up on the block. A few avid collectors were there and knew what it was but I held out and got it! Now I needed a top link mount, well that was impossible to find so I was going to have one made. After waiting several months for the guy to make it, I gave up because I came across one along with other 3 pt. parts so I now have an original mount and spare parts! Got a 1973 60" rear finish mower from Dennis here in Ohio and threw a set of Gator Blades on it and boy does it mow!

Oh, you need FRONT WEIGHT!!!!

Well, with t e Gator Blades on it, it will cut some pretty tall grass. Keep in mind, it is a finish mower, not a bush hog. The only problem is, it doesn't stripe the lawn like my 48" deck does, I like that look. But it does mow alot of grass in a hurry!

Mike I have done a lot of buying/selling/tradeing with Dennis since I met him.

He's a very fair person to deal with. :D

The 195 looks cool with the rear mount finish mower...bet it does get light in the front when your cruiseing with it up.

Looks good & keep the pics comeing. :P

How about a bike pic in the off topic?
