C-Series14 15 #1 Posted November 1, 2009 Well, went SW to the corner of the state and got a 1979 C-161 8-Speed. All original except for the muffler and seat. This one is gonna be a nice restore partner to the 1979 C-141 8-Speed that is sitting in the barn right now. Gonna do a double restore this winter... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

can whlvr 994 #10 Posted November 1, 2009 real nice looking tractor,gotta love those 78 79 c series a bit of old a bit of new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Series14 15 #11 Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks again. Always good to find one like this. Shows that WH made a great product. Gonna put a original style muffler on it, pull the deck off and see what it looks like, needs a lift sector and the adjustment arm. Not a real big fan of the rear discharge, would like to find a nice 48" SD deck though... :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerry w 2 #12 Posted November 1, 2009 Great looking tractor Mike! Good suggestion was that it looks great as is, do you need a worker cause it is! By the looks of your shed in the pic you have room for at least four more! :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the looks of your shed in the pic you have room for at least four more! Yea, I could fit several more in there but that is my enclosed trailer spot...Could fit a couple though if I didn't back in all the way... It is so nice, I am gonna go out and put the 50" grader blade on it and use it this week along with it's brother, the 1979 C-161 FEL tractor!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
