FLtractor 56 #1 Posted May 21 Afternoon, Seller near me has a 1970s C120 Wheelhorse for sale. Asking $125.00 total for the tractor… being it’s a Wheelhorse… would the wheels and tires if exact same size.. fit my 1966 856? Also is the seat pan the exact same for both tractors? Attached pictures of the 70s Wheelhorse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 72,728 #3 Posted May 22 There'll be other parts of value on that tractor. The seat is a possibility if the metal frame is sound. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLtractor 56 #4 Posted May 22 Any idea what 5 lug rims to fit 23x8.50x12 tires would cost? I’ve found i can get a pair tire of that size online new for around $120.00 but with no rims.. so debating if I should offer for these with the rims in good shape. It appears. Or if new rims arnt that much perhaps just go new for rims and tires 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most other garden tractor wheels are deeper and often won't fit. To get a set to an area with known rarity such as yours the best bet IMHO is to CALL Lincoln at A to Z Tractor in PA He'll have the wheels and the capability of shipping at the most reasonable price. On the tires, use caution on brands. Most run small to scale nowadays. Some worse than others. Avoid Deestone and Duro for size issues. Even Carlisle/ Carlstar is shrinking though. Feel free to post what you're looking at for help. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,938 #6 Posted May 22 The Wheel Horse offset can be a bugger. It's about 1 3/16". Some models can get away with a bit deeper. Also, I don't think those fronts are original. They should be 16-5.50 8. 6.50 would be fine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I did offer any idea fair price? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tread depth look fine but how's the weather cracking? That's the key. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
