jajiu 55 #1 Posted February 2, 2018 Hi All, Just bought a B-80 I believe is 1977 and was searching for others like me out there and found this forum. My B-80 has a Johnson Loader on it and is mostly restored. I'm looking forward to the Spring to enjoy it. When the weather gets better, I'll get some pictures and post them. 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jajiu 55 #6 Posted February 2, 2018 Thanks for the warm welcome! In my other life, I have a Kubota with back hoe and a cab, but I needed something I could have some fun with. I also have a few hit and miss engines. My retirement is becoming very complex. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB ELLISON 2,976 #13 Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) I also have a 1977 B80. Great tractor. Very good on gas and will hold its own when plowing or cutting grass. My B80 starts better then my new one. I've since repaired the seat and it'll get a full makeover this spring. And pictures help us droll over nice wheel horse's. AND TO THE BEST WHEEL HORSE SITE IN THE WORLD. Edited February 3, 2018 by BOB ELLISON 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,262 #14 Posted February 3, 2018 you won't find a better place for tips and advice on anything Wheel Horse related. The people here are awesome too, some of us may be a bit, shall I say different, but a very good group of guys here who know a lot about these little red tractors and are more than willing to lend a hand, should you ever need it. Looking forward to seeing some of your B-80. And as stated above, these little rascals do like to multiply, I started with my 1277 and less than two years later I am up to 4. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a BIG one, mine are 1 1/2 HP and 2 HP. I'll see what I can do tomorrow about pictures. Even my local friends want pictures! Ya, it has a Johnson loader, not too familiar with them, but it works nice. I bought this from a guy who got it from an estate. The owner died at the age of 84 and mostly restored it. The tires are old and cracked and need replacement and it needs decals, but like I said, I just got it and will be assessing and looking for the things I need.
