I'll let you take mine for a ride Brian

Just went out and got this one 20 mins down the road. Need some help with this one, I have no idea what it is. All I know is it's a

Had some seat time today, great to work my horse again! Love the 48" plow!!

You guys need to work on the Horses more and get more petroleum products on you. No kidding, where I have oil or something petroleum on my hands about up to my elbows several days a week it takes care of it and those areas heal 10 times faster. Hence Neosporin - 25% petroleum products... From my hands to elbows are no problem, the rest is. I tried something someone told me about a few years back for the extreme cold and it helps with dryness as well. After you get done with a shower take a damp washrag and knock off most of the water but not all, immediately cover yourself in lotion, it locks in the moisture. I would have never believed it would make you feel much warmer and help with dryness but it does, you will tell it as soon as you step out of the shower. I only do it when it get's really cold, Sandra does it every day all Winter. Can't hurt to try.

Geno, that back rest is an add on option...they are worth a little bit of money too. The belt guard would of been cut up because of the motor swap, if you wanted to put a correct looking guard on it you would probably have to modify one. Also, here's a couple pictures of my 63 so you know what original is...however yours has a couple differences like the steering wheel, and column by the shifter

Why did I just sit here and watch the full 2:21 of that?

Only once Mike??? Here hold my beer and watch this. John, I told you Iowa was a 7-5 team...everybody knows it. Save me a piece of Caesar's Pizza...actually save me 2 pieces...MaMa needs new soles on her shoes. Hope you are not playing NIU!! Pizza Pizza... :) :)

I looked, and the sideplate bolts are 3/4" so maybe they are hitting on a gear making it not turn over. Also, found a couple of the bearings were sticking up just a little bit, but not much. I don't think it is in the axle bushings as they are kind of worn around there. Will probably try another assemble tonight with shorter bolts....and no silicone. lol

I went after some parts for my GT14 a few days ago and came home with this pretty straight C165 8 speed minus engine. I have a S7D cast iron recoil start 7 hp Wisconsin that I have been looking for a tractor to use it on. I think I will put it on this C165 for now.

Once again , kudos to the staff ! LOOKS GREAT !

Round fender lawn ranger ..... Issues for sure

I plan on being there Geno.

Looks real nice. Planning on painting all of the shop tools? If so, someone has too much time on their hands! I see some shelving in the back ground that needs to be red!

sounds like a good project when do you think you'll have it done Glenn

Hey Mike, your planning on eating donuts with Jim aren't you? You got lucky last week especially after you said Wisconsin could stay home and not play, and win. This week you say that Nebraska can stay home. Here's hoping that pick comes back and bites you right in the _ _ _!!! As always, Go Hawkeyes!!!!

Im going to have to go with a b-80 mostly due to the fact the motor is not overkill and for me has all the power for mowing and plowing that i would need.

My vote is for the 1976/1977 B/C Series (B-80, B-100, C-120, C-160), 8-Speeds. I think they were the best looking, and overall toughest machines made.

As some as you may know. I had a little Medical issue a week and a half ago. With winter approaching I knew it would be a challenge to get tractors ready for winter. Craig (AMC Rules) offered to come over and give me a hand. And when he found out I was looking for an older tractor to plow snow at work he offered me his 1267 at a great price. He drove the 5 HOURS ONE WAY! today. I needed a plow for it and Brian (buckrancher) had one and after driving from CT. and back yesterday he brought it up this morning. Both the tractor and plow needed some love and good old fashioned thrashing to make everything work. We filled all the tires with RV antifreeze but 1 of Craig's tires he wanted filled going to need a tube so out the fluid came. Stevasaurus called in on Skype and brought Jim D. along. We had a mini M & G going with a ton of laughs. We even got the plow on the tractor!!! Wife made chili and brownies and we let Steve and Jim know what they were missing. I can't thank Craig and Brian enough for all the help and Steve and Jim for the back row heckling. Here are some pics. I even got Craig on Elvis! I called it Sqonk Fest instead of Squonk Fest because SOMEONE has trouble with the letter U!

I would have to go with the 78-79 "C" series. They were a mix of the earlier C's and set the foundation for modern tractor all the way up until the end of the run of Wheel Horse's, They were the what you would call the bread and butter or Back Bone for Wheel Horse.

Hands down... 1976 or 77 C-160 Auto. 2nd choice... Bronco 14 circa 1972 73

Whats your email address Geno? Never mind. Here it is. Radio_8-6911.pdf

Well, all I know is when you two get done kicking up dust in King Solomon's Temple you might want to stumble outta there and get your picks in. There's a Friday deadline this week don't forget.

This is something you really need to think about... I know you have a young family and I thought I heard you might be looking to buy a new house. If you should run into a pinch for cash it may be hard to even break even. I have thought long and hard about buying this tractor myself over the past few yrs. (believe it or not I could come up with the cash to buy it) but when I ask myself would I be able to sell it and at least break even if I had to... That is a tough call... I know if I got it I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of lightin up a big fat cigar and firing that bad boy up and ridin it at the BIG SHOW, but then there goes the value.. Would you be able to resist the temptation of ridin it? I'm just trying to give you another angle to look at.. if you do get it I'll give you 100 bucks if I can take it for one lap around the infield....

I've had this Cub for years and never really did much with it other than drive the kids around. A few weeks ago I decided it needed a new look. Aside from the new rims and tires, I modified an aftermarket front drop axle to rake the nose 2.5 inches. I added the front plate under the grill to give it a smoother look too. The skinnier front rims are from a 49 Baird Beaver.

Hello Guys- My Grandson Trevor & I want to wish you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING. HORSE is ready for Snow. Had to put the old plow I first had- I sold everything else for Trevor to get into school. I converted the plow to attach to two holes on front of transmission plate- works good - just uses a chain to connect deck lift to plow arm. Thanks for everything- Al & Trevor

If she wasn't doing all these cool projects... who would.

Take it easy on the new guy, he's fragile.

Plans to fix those Brian?

You gotta be kidding right?

I think that Duke has you beat... his had more holes.

It should work great the b-60 came out with 7hp Kohler pull start and a 8 speed trans 36" RD deck

Geno that light kit looks horrible on their, ship it up to CT and I'll put it on mine:p Nice find tho, nice little guy,

Thats a 64 lawn ranger...nice find. And those light kits can bring good money...the original kits are tough to find. That lift lever on the right side of the tractor is definitely not original, along with the rockshaft. Also, the original motor would of been a lauson...but I'd much rather have a kohler than one of those.

Gene, you better be safe and save it for me. I dont need you with junk. Lol first I thought lawn ranger. Glenn

Thanks all for the input....I am going to check and see if it the bearings are sitting flush, then I think i will try to bolt it together without the diff.

Best all around round hood IMHO is the 854. I'm not sayin it's the rarest but the best all around.. Then I'd have to say the C-series... The hood's on the black hood C-125's thru 175's were solid, they closed nicely and didn't rattle...

B/C Before Corporation takeover!

Then, consider repainting it black with a white stripe.

75 C-120 auto, I use at the farm. It snowed about 4 inches. Better than 5 feet!

I guess I was ewxpecting it to be nice and shiney. When I go over it with sand paper it cleans up and gets a good shine on it.

1. Kohler, reliability and parts availability 2. Honda, Reliability and durability 3. Onan, Torque 4. Tecumseh, If Tecumseh still built engines and made a twin it would give you twice the problems. 5. Wisconsin, An 18 horse Wisconsin twin is about the size and weight of a VW beetle.

i have both versions of the 2015 calendar done. before i go any further i need to personally thank Terry Dennis for his help today on making both calendars more 'red square' than they were. i have limited editing privileges with the iPhoto calendar program i used to create them and needed some of Terry's expertise to make them look right. I'm having problems uploading them to the files section of the forum, so i uploaded them to google drive and the links to the files are below. you might get a warning that google can't scan these files for viruses because of their size. i didn't put any viruses in the files, but if you have virus software for your own piece of mind you can scan them if you really want to. i need to communicate with a moderator on whether I'm missing something here because the upload feature of the forum isn't letting me upload them to files section and i think its because of the files sizes. they both run about 28 MB. members, i hope you are all ok with my choices for the calendars, i thought long and hard about which pics to use, some pics were perfect except for a tire cut off or not enough background or something else. some of the pics weren't big enough and i asked for higher resolution shots, most of you were good about providing better pics. this task has definitely been an eyeopener for me, i am willing to do it again next year if you guys want me to, but I'm going to need more help from some of you with the quality of pics submitted. here you go...... calendar 1 https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B-Mtecq9EjlkclV6Y1BlUHpzbVU calendar 2 https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B-Mtecq9EjlkQzFUQzB0WXJHVG8

You are going to rebuild it once in your lifetime, I always use Kohler when it comes to pistons and rods.

Make sure the fuel filter is for use on an engine with a fuel pump. It does make a difference, I found out the hard way!
