“Do you know much about old Wheel Horse tractors?”

[Pullstart 59,846]

I got a call from a family friend before the big show.  He blew a rod in his tiller tractor.  A lack of oil on that dippy stick will do it every time!  @stevebo came through with a replacement 12 hp engine and tonight the tractor came over.

 

C145 with an Eaton?  Was that a thing?

Mid 1980-1984 used Eaton

C-145 with an Eaton 1100 was definitely a thing. One passed thru my place a few years back.

this is what is published on Tractordata.com for c145 tranny ----------- " Eaton hydrostatic was offered throughout the production run. Additionally, a Sundstrand hydrostatic was used on some C-145 tractors in 1980, model code 01-14KS01."

Yep, got one and it is a tiller tractor. Had one of those 80's with the Sunstrand too. Bought it with a ventilated block.

Thanks for all the info fellas!  Luckily the trans shouldn’t need help, with just a broken connecting rod.  Engine swap should be a good to go project.

Looks like a mid year 1980 change from Sundstrand to Eaton 1100.

Marvin was an 84 with an Eaton.

My C-165 which I believe is a 1981 has a Sunstrand if I remember correctly?
