Oldcpecdr 255 #1 Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Got to work on the C-100 8 speed over the weekend...Only real rust was on the rear fender pan. Luckily the previous owner sent a replacement along with the purchase. Changed it over Sunday and ,moved the seat back two inches and now I fit. I was surprised at just how bad the rear pan was with no rust anywhere else. I was about to toss the old pan but thought I should post pics and see if anyone needs one. Needs about a 8 x 10 patch welded in. Not needed by me as I had the spare but I have no idea of these are plentiful or not. If someone needs it it's free for the cost of shipping. I'll hang on to it for a few weeks and see if there is any need for it. Then I mowed with the Wheelhorse for the first time this afternoon... Wow what a great little machine. I'm used to my Bolens XL16 that overpowers the lawn... the Wheelhorse requires active participation and finesses the win... what a great little tractor. I have to tip my hat to the PO I charged the battery and turned the key and off we went.... all greased up , everthing already adjusted, fluids good , new paint and it would look new....maybe over the winter. then again something to be said for honest patina. Nest week I hope to fire up the Hydro C-100 and see how that works..... Great Forum here and glad it's available...

Sparky-(Admin) 19,551 #2 Posted May 29, 2018 Seat pans are fairly easy to come by, I doubt you will find any takers for that rusted out one. Nice to see an old C series being put to use! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert 760 #3 Posted May 29, 2018 Very nice tractor, you may want to check the deck belt. Looks like is not in the correct grove Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
