Picked up a C-111

[Sparky-(Admin) 24,236]

  At a local show today I scored this C-111 with a plow/weights/2 link chains for cheap $$$. 

  No idea what my plan is. I really don’t need another plow here, sold off a couple plows this summer so I only have 5…and today I added another one back Into the mix

If that's a 48" @Maz91 might be interested.

I've being mulling over combining a couple for a big V.

The addiction did it to you,

I have a C111 in my herd, too.

Nice score @Sparky. It would be a good base for a restoration as it looks in good shape. As for the plows what about taking the plow off and putting a rake etc… on the plow frame?

Sparky, you have a magnified issue of what we all suffer from.  My seggestion..."Put the Lime in the Cocoanut" and call me in the morning.

  The C-111 has this decal on the engine shroud. My buddy texts me this morning and asks if I’m wrenching on the single mom

decal

 

That decal is worth whatever you paid for the whole deal.

That's how a tractor gets its name!

The Single Mom has a nice ring to it @Sparky

  Now that is funny right there. But i have to say Mike Nicley done. Did you find out what size the front tires are? They look on the large size.

If I bring home another tractor my wife will be banging my head against the wall. I can go golfing as much as I like but do not fill the yard with stuff. The hiding place behind the shed is already full.

 I actually only bought this one to clean/fix and resell.

  Already have someone after it, that’ll make my wife happy

Huh, good eye Gary! 
  I just assumed they were standard 16-6.50’s

but closer inspection shows they are 18-6.50’s.
 One of the wheels has a nice “dented edge” that’ll need some attention.

Measure the diameter to get a match. The replacements may not have a diameter that matches the sidewall inscription. Some 18" tires now are 16" tall and the tubes available are still for 18" tall tires. Too big.
