bumpsteer 38 #1 Posted June 6, 2018 Hi to one and all. Just signed on here at 1:20 AM. I know but back was hurting and could not sleep. To much yard work I guess. Any who I got me a horse today. Its a C101 with a mow deck. When I get it home Saturday Ill know more about it. Here is the deal, I will intro myself and post photos along with the story of how I found this diamond and for a week and a half could not get it off my mind but for now I have a question because I need to put this thing to work. What type for sleeve hitch or clevis hitch does the C101 take are they still made by anyone? If not are there some good photos on line that I could use to make one? I have the equipment and skills to do this. All for now I am sure there will be more and thanks in advance. Doug 4 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,770 #10 Posted June 6, 2018 to the IMO, the C series were the best Wheel Horse tractors made. Although I am not a fan of the rocker plate engine mount on the C-xx1. You are correct, in addition to the standard drawbar hitch, there is a cast steel sleeve hitch that takes a 3/8" X 3" flat bar and a Brinley style fabricated steel clevis hitch. I have sleeve hitches, but not the clevis hitch. Someone will probably be able to get a pic and dimensions for the clevis hitch. As stated above, new clevis hitches are available from a vendor on this site. My C-101 that I sold yesterday.... reducing the herd. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumpsteer 38 #13 Posted June 6, 2018 Thanks for all the welcomes and thank you 953 nut for the downloads. I will bet they will come in handy. Ed that is a darn good looking C101. I doubt mine will ever look that good but one never knows. I have restored a few cars and trucks in my days so I might just take on this tractor but first have to make sure it is running proper and put it to use.

Doug Where are you going to keep the next one? WHD is real and there is no cure. But, who would want to be cured? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah... @bumpsteer.... That's true. That's a thing. 2 years ago I got a Wheelhorse at the recommendation of a shop friend. I am now working on getting my third one to my house. Horses are - clearly - a herd animal. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bumpsteer 38 #17 Posted June 6, 2018 WoW, thanks oliver2-44. I just checked out that section and file. Some good stuff there. I am chomping at the bit to get the tractor home now. Had to go over to my sons house and unload my trailer so I can use it to get the WH home. Alos went ahead and became a supporter. This is a great site.

RandyLittrell 3,827 #19 Posted June 6, 2018 Welcome to Red Square!! If you are interested in the sleeve hitch, just some info for you. The one Lowell builds is heavier duty than the original, so you might find a used one cheaper, but Lowell's is a better quality. Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
