C-175

Recommended Posts

This is just a quick Vid of the C-175 I picked up off good buddy Stevebo who lives about 2 miles away. I've cut grass with many a tractor in my day but nothing really compares too the sound and feel of this 175. If I only had a super thick lawn, I'd luv too hear the KT 17 dig in. :D

If I should ever sell it, Jimbo you are right at the top for sure.

Steve did do a fantastic job on this tractor. I know how much work it is to get a tractor to be in this condition so I really appreciate all the effort.

I was never a big fan of the black hoods, that is until I saw this one and especially after I drove it. It really is one big, bad boy. I thought the 518 was real powerful pushing snow last yr. Ha! This one has as much power, (if not more) and it has much greater ramming speed abilities. I can't wait for the first big snow storm. Not!! :D

Ken,

That tractor really is a nice one. If I had to pick the one thing I would change on that tractor would be the smaller steering wheel makes it a little more difficult to steer. It is one of the fastest I have driven too.

It does look great! I want to be next in line. :D

Those 175's are neat tractors, I love mine. They just ride differently and the KT-17 sounds and runs smooth. I think of mine as a cadilac of :USA: .

Brings a tear to your eye when you see a "Horse" find its "Fur-Ever" home.

Good luck with it. :D

All I've had to do to it is dial the carb in for the warmer weather and adjust the throttle cable to get 3600 rpm's out of it. (was only getting 3000 out of it) Tiny tach's are awesome. :D
