Dragged home a C-81

[Sparky-(Admin) 25,016]

  Picked up this C-81 today in Big Indian NY (Catskills). Bit rougher that I was looking for but the price was right! Haven’t run in probably 3 years, so will need a lotta going over. The steering wheel has left the chat . The soup can was removed on the Burger King parking lot near the Newburgh bridge when we stopped for lunch 
  Saw an eagle on the way, very cool! 
  Haven’t ran the numbers but I think it’s a 79.

That looks like a very solid tractor to start with, I've begun with a whole lot worse.  Enjoy your "new" Wheel Horse.

Necessity is the Mother of Butchery.... it gets an Honorable Mention in the "Fixed for Now" catagory.... Looks to be a semi-solid start.

There's a C-81 near me along with a Charger 12 if you're interested.   Let me know and I'll contact the owner, if you want another one.

Still trying to wrap my head around that steering wheel thingy. Not sure we can even call that a fix or repair.

The 9 at the beginning of the VIN indicates that it is a 1979
