I have caught the bug...

[meadowfield 2,545]

After acquiring the Norlett - I now have a C-101 with original Kohler 10hp engine.

It's fairly tidy for it's age, and entirely original. It has spent a bit of time outdoors, theres some heavy rust between adjacent surfaces and the gearbox is full of emulsified white oil...

It starts and runs ok and with a bit of TLC has plenty of life left in it.

The model no. is 91-10K8-92 and serial no 183695.

The model no. has thrown me though as it shows as a 79 model, but the last digits should be 02, not 92. Does anyone have any ideas as to the model change?

thanks

The VIN is not as you have it, they always ended in 801, 802, 803, etc. for the 8-speeds. Yours is a 1979 model, VIN will be 91-10K802

It ends in 92...

It was made in Belgium - maybe thats a clue?

so do we know what the number signifies? is it the same as 802?

I was thinking it might be something like that. Sometimes it helps to add where you are located into your signature. I have no idea how to find information of the 's that were manufactured overseas.

the C-??1 series was only made in 78 and 79 on the ones that was made over here.

I'm in the UK, bonnet decals say C-101 8 speed.

I'm assuming it is identical, just a new sub code for Europe manufacture?

Hi Mark,

Welcome to Redsquare, I am in the UK also - in Dorset. Where are you located?

I started off with one Wheelhorse, I now have four.........

The Belgian built tractors seem to have a strange system for model numbers, I am not sure how it works.

Sounds like you have water mixed in with your transmission oil. There are a few post on how to get it cleaned out. :)

Yea, we need to get our crack research team on this and figure the numbering system out. We have a few experts on here that hopefully will see this or have an explanation.

Hi Mark,

I have just bought a Ariens Norlett S-14H on ebay - non runner, I am yet to pick it up, but cant find anything out about the tractor on Google etc.

Any idea where I can find a manual or any info on it?

Would be great to see some pics of yours.

Regards

Simon.

Hi,

I did see that, but too new for my liking.

I can't find anything at all on Norlett, other than rotavator spares. Someone somewhere must be able to help fill some gaps in the Norlett history....
