ClassicTractorProfessor 5,262 #1 Posted January 14, 2023 I first brought this poor little orphaned Horse home about 3.5 years ago, gave it a good walkaround and look over then, but never did anything else with it before trading it to a friend of mine. Turns out he never did anything with it either, and a couple months ago it made its way back to me. Going to move the Farmall C out of the barn tomorrow, and drag it in out of the wind to see what its gonna take to get it back up and running. 5 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,791 #4 Posted January 14, 2023 Square hood Wheel Horses are beginning to be appreciated more and more these days. Looks like you have a nice complete unit. Is it a 1267? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,262 #5 Posted January 15, 2023 Well we have a runner. Needs a lot of attention but we have heard her make noise so we can move forward from here. Had to swap out the coil and install a new set of points to get her to run. Fuel pump I'm sure is no good, and the carb needs some serious work. Bad oil leak coming from behind the fuel pump as well. Was hoping to do a full will it start video, filmed a bunch of it but when I went to put it all together the noise in the background was unbearable...gotta love 45 mph Oklahoma winds. But I did salvage this clip On 1/14/2023 at 6:36 AM, 953 nut said: Is it a 1267? 1067 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darb1964 1,014 #6 Posted January 15, 2023 Very nice, I picked up a 1067 myself two years ago from the original owners nice. Runs very good, so far I've just run it around the yard. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,262 #7 Posted January 16, 2023 @WHX?? what tires are you running on that beautiful machine? I'm guessing that the rears are the standard 23x8.50-12s but what about the fronts. From the picture they look smaller than the 16x6.50-8s I'm used to seeing on these. Usually tires would be the last thing I would buy for a project like this, but all four of mine are shot and I need to be able to roll this thing around. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,815 #8 Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Those are the Firestone tris... only place you can get now them Prof is Miller Tire. Apparently they bought the rights to the mold. A Very beefy and a man's tire and steers like a caddy. Yes 16 6.50s X 8 I lucked out and got both of mine for cheap from a member here but don't look what Miller wants for them now... you'll surely fall off yer barstool. Since this gal was my first she deserved them. You remember when you had your first... Yes rears are run of the mill Tru Powers in 23- 8 50 - 12s. 18 minutes ago, ClassicTractorProfessor said: but all four of mine are shot and I need to be able to roll this thing around Best advice dude is just get whatevers laying around till the ship comes in. Keep her a roller anyway. Edited January 16, 2023 by WHX?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,262 #9 Posted January 16, 2023 Ouch I see what you mean about the price of those front tires. I can get the rears at cost from work so no problem there, may just end up ordering a couple cheap turf tires for the front for now though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,815 #10 Posted January 16, 2023 BTW Prof. Deestones tris in 4- 8 which are a bit more affordable would work great in the front. They seem to running beefy these days and fit the bill. Less $$ Hy Runs for the back I'll have no qualms with either and anybody does we're going to fisticuffs. I've got some great comments on the plow field with these. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trina uses those on Pony 657 and will be soon on Pigpen 867 for spring and summer. Good tires. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For right around 90 bucks for a pair of them I'd say they're worth a try. As far as HiRuns for the rear, I have no issue with them, I've been running HiRuns in 23x10.50-12 on the rear of my C125 the whole time I have owned it and have not had any issues. The ones on the 125 are loaded, and I have never had a problem with traction no matter what I'm doing 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 8,863 #14 Posted January 16, 2023 Since the Hi-Runs run smaller you might consider getting 23x9.5x12. Put you closer to original width anyway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use a ratchet strap tightened around the tire to push the bead out to the rim, ad some air then release the strap. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
