i havent been around much lately but i havent had much wheel horse stuff to work with.you may remember i posted about a year ago that i bought a c161 auto from a lady whos dad had bought it new.earlier this year she sold me the implements that she had left.she had told me last year that her sister and bil who live in texas have another wheel horse her dad had bought new and might be interested in selling it.well she called me yesterday to tell me they are up here and and have the tractor,would i like to see it? long story short i bought it.its a 1276 with hydro lift.it has been used hard and has been patched,the hood is shot and the engine has been replaced with a later model k321 14hp engine.it came with original manuals and a paper dated nov.20 1965 its hand written and shows the price for the tractor the lift and several attachments including a siklebar mower and a 54 inch blade.i didnt know they offered a 54 inch blade for these tractors.i will try to get pictures shortly,its raining/storming outside right now.
