NCSteve 6 #1 Posted 6 hours ago I have owned my 1976 C120 now for 30 minutes! I bought it to do some driveway leveling, so now I need to start researching blades and blade attachments. The tractor appears sound, and it starts and runs ok, but it moves very slowly. I need to explore belt, clutch spring, etc. I think. Any suggestions for reasonably priced blades would be welcomed! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 53,057 #2 Posted 6 hours ago Steve Nice lookin and should serve you well. For grading and leveling driveways a mid mount blade will be at the top of the list. Unfortunately they are (sometimes) hard to find and can (sometimes) be somewhat pricy if you do. Never know tho. Next would be a front blade for back dragging and such. Third on the list is a back blade or a mini box scraper. Back blades can suffer from lack of down pressure. Others will be along to welcome and offer advice on ground engaging implements. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 8,201 #4 Posted 5 hours ago to the forum. The C120 is a very capable machine. It should handle driveway grading just fine. As far as the tractor moving very slowly, you need to know that it has a two range transmission. When in low range, high gear is just a tad faster than 1st gear in high range. 1st gear in low range is about 1 mph - maybe. The short shift lever that moves right and left is for selecting high or low range. Left for low, right for high. In your picture, it looks like it might be in the low range position. The shifter fork on the high/low range shifter can be damaged if you use excess force on it. Good luck and have fun with your recently acquired toy, no, tool. Check out the manuals section of the forum. You will probably find an owner's manual for your machine there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 62,434 #5 Posted 5 hours ago In your photo I can see that the High-Low range lever is in the Low position. The attached owner manual should be helpful. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 29,967 #6 Posted 3 hours ago As mentioned above center blades and dozer/snow blades can be found, might have to do a little searching. I you want instant gratitude, you can go with a Brinly box scraper. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/brinly-38-in-box-scraper-and-rear-blade-bs-381-2-in-1-tool-for-versatile-landscaping-2523107 You will also need a Brinly hitch adaptor. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/toro-wheel-horse-slot-hitch-adapter/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
