I got another one…. early 80’s C-85 8 speed

[MainelyWheelhorse 1,788]

I came back with more than I left with at the Meet and Greet…. This time it’s an early 80’s C-85 with a K181 engine in a box and no transmission. But if you’ll remember back in May, I bought a trailer and truck bed full of parts and the C-141 Frankenstein from @ebinmaine. Well, there was an 8 speed trans that went with it. That went into the C-85 this afternoon. I have a 16hp Kohler K341 that came from a RV Generator that needs some small modifications to work.That is the engine that will probably go in it. I also FSAG mocked it up for Side shot Saturday and Sunday. More later…

@peter lenaThis one still had the plastic fender but another member grabbed it. That wasn’t a big deal as I wasn’t a fan of the look of them anyway. I had a 3/4/500 series fender in the parts pile. I do like the look of the black hoods especially with AG tires.
