Recommended Posts

I have a c195 the motor just went bad. I'm trying to decide if I should just sell it whole or part it out.I have the room to part it out just don't want to spend months parting it out,what does everyone think?

:WRS:        You could put another engine on it, perhaps a single cylinder Kohler, and keep it going while you find another twin or rebuild the one you have. The C-195 is hard to come by, probably best to keep it or sell as is.

Yes I understand there hard to get. I love the nostalgia of mowing on an old mower,but my knowledge on these is slim and to be honest it seems like every week I have to (tweak) something just to mow and with it already taking 2 1/2 hours.....tweaking just isn't something i have time for.

My thoughts are sell it as a hole. You don't see many c195 s. These are very sought after tractors from what I've seen ,And to part it out I don't think will get you more then a whole tractor. It's the engine that made it what it is. Even with a bad engine people want a c195. Heck I would have to buy one if I found the right deal. This tractor is almost a 520h the biggest and best of there time.:twocents-02cents:

By the way Welcome to the best wheel horse site in the world.

Ok so selling it whole should I ask for offers or set a price? The only mower I have seen sold like this one around my sold for $400 and it was missing the hood ,seat, deck and had 4 flats.which I thought was ALOT! If I set a price what should I ask? Sorry for all the questions but like I said I am not as well versed on these as most are.

To post it in our classified section you would need to post a price, but could have a price or best offer. Post a couple of pictures and a bit more info. about the motor issue ( condition of block etc.).

There is a lot of things that determine value. A tractors price is determined by how it looks and how it was maintained.

Pictures will tell a lot about it and nobody will buy it without first seeing it.

Just as 953 Nut posted.

If it wasn't geographically undesirable (over a 1,000 mile round trip) I would probably be the first one in line to trade!

:text-yeahthat:       I took a look at the listing, if it wasn't for the 1,000+ mile trip I would be all over that.   :handgestures-thumbupright:      I have a GT-14 and several 953s, just a sucker for a :wh: with  BIG rear tires.

Not to blame youJason but a bit of constructIve  criticism here, look to me like it was rode hard and put away wet, in other words lack of proper preventive maintenance?  All said like Richard I would  be on that but I don't do well with long distance relationships.  Good luck with your sale. :) Those are killer tractors.

Yes I understand. I just got it a few years ago,and did what I could. I could have cleaned it up and made it look ALOT better,but I didn't want someone thinking they were getting a prized steer just to find out it was a pig with makeup!

I just did a 1300 mile round trip in 27 1/2 hr with the help of a friend as relief driver, could have done it faster but didn't want to push the old Cummins over 70 miles an hour and watch the fuel gauge drop like a rock. the point I'm making is it is doable. go for it you only live once

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.

      Will the plow I am using on my C121 and C160 work on a 876?  
      or is the plow frame different?
      Thanks

      Hi All,
       
      I have what I believe is a Commando 800 but would like to confirm model and year.  Tag reads Model # 1 0100 6; Serial # 790336. Have had it for years (bought from original owner) and want to clean it up some.
       
      Thanks!
