That looks like it’s had a bit rougher life. The rust under the seat tells me it stores outside. That’s not amazing for the transmissions. I’d spring for the C series and enjoy the trip!

This is my Jaxon (great nephew). Wonder if they will be posting about each other's Wheel Horses' 20/30years from now on here

Guy about 6 hours round trip from me selling this for a friend, doesn’t run, states most likely fuel pump. Tires flat. Asking $100.00. What would this be worth as is? How is it as a towing mowing tractor overall compared to a smaller older 856 such as mine .. and or hirachery of Wheelhorse tractors if such a concept exists outside my mind.

Lotsa water running clean tonight. Flow has improved greatly!

That C-125 has a few things you don't get with an 857: 1. Heavy duty tranny with low range. Very sturdy 8 pinion rear end that will pull a bunch of weight. 2. 4 additional horsepower. A Kohler K301 is a bulletproof engine when properly maintained. 3. A long frame with the attach-a-matic hitches that allow a multitude of more attachments. Basically everything made after 1974 will fit that would fit other classic tractors. That tractor will happily run a 48 inch deck.

48" decks are getting too heavy to pull out and clean on a regular basis anymore. I use the lift thing sometimes but lying down to clean it is also getting harder. So the deck rusts out in the next 10 years probably will not be a concern for me anynore

Couple pics of the 1974 C160-8 Cinnamon Horse and Mackissic chipper shredder at work today. The one with the tractor was the very beginning of the first pile. The one not showing the tractor is the end of the second pile. I would say a good strong 4+ hours of work today, off n on. Quite a lot of chips produced. Have to be very very careful. The interior hammers will suck in the material at extremely high speed. But the outside blade, you have to push the material into it. It's quite an extreme workout to operate this thing. This pile is about the size of the tractor. Also, Jaxon was here for a visit today. Him & BBT worked hard, and played hard.

I blew some paint on a hood I got from a member here. Original had tree damage. I will shoot the grill satin black when red is good and dry. This was a Toro black stripe hood but will become a burgundy stripe hood. I power washed and serviced the little 36 inch deck. The tractor will go to camp for summer.

I fed my moles a good dose of Wheel Horse carbon monoxide over 10 years ago. Haven't seen a mole since.

I'm out and working for over an hour already. That pile of chips is probably enough to fill a small trailer.
