A C-175 Followed me home from Stevebo's House

Recommended Posts

Unfortunately my pics are crappy cell pics, but I made a deal with stevebo, who is very good to deal with. I traded my newly aquired cab and some cash for a very nicely done C-175, part of the reason I skipped the suburban 400. Stevebo does some very nice sheet metal and paint work, he paints both sides of the sheet metal, does very good decal placments and paint details. The tractor runs pretty good, but the electrical is in need of help, so it is in the garage going getting a going through, as I am pretty meticulous.

So far, new Autolite AP26 platinum spark plugs, all new light wiring and grounds (14ga auto wiring), new LED rear tails, as the ones on there were having some shorts (which stevebo disclosed from the get go), new led indicator light switch. All new fuses and fuse holders, lots of dielectric grease. New gas cap w/gauge.

I have all the other parts, but here is whats left on the agenda, new oil, new oil in hydro, new ydro filter, new air filter and prefilter, greasing, new headlights (one was burnt,and I want them to match), new plow hitch from randy on ebay, one new deck roller. New battery cables.

As of tonight the rear fender is back on and the rear LED's look great, as they are a direct replacement for the stockers, and have 100,000 hour life. $7.00 at walmart.

here they are on my C-120

Nice tractor! :notworthy:

One question though, where is the word "TWIN" that should be with the word "AUTOMATIC" on the hood decal? You gotta show off that twin properly!!! :thumbs:

I really liked that cab and wanted to keep it, but I really liked this tractor, so it was a part of the deal, how is that 416 doing up there, the engine on that was pretty damn good for the short time I ran it. If you get another cab let me know. I also sold my minty 312, but to my father to pay for this one, so at least it is in the family he has wanted that since I bought it.

Tractor looks great, I was down to Steves a few weeks ago and I never saw that tractor. He's got em hidden all over the place yet his place is as neat as a pin. You're right, great guy to deal with.

Havent had a chance to take a good look at the 416 hoping to get some time this week to put some wheel weights on it and a pushblade and change the tranny oil. Will keep my eye open for another cab.

The sparks were clean, but I changed them anyway since I am going through the whole thing. The motor runs nice, but I just got a C-125 motor mount plate incase I ever have to replace the KT series to a K series
