T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,610 #1 Posted April 10, 2008 For those who remember, Stephen had his C-125A up for sale a few weeks back. (See this link). Well, Thanks to Eldon, Ken and to Stephen, it's found a new home. With me! I also picked up a couple of Lawn Boy push mowers to add to my collection (I now have 4). So since we all love pictures, here they are: I also got a chance to meet Eldon. A really nice guy and a pleasure to talk with. He did me a tremendous favor by bringing the C125 from Indy to St. Louis. BTW, guys, watch your decks, I think Eldon's collecting them - he had 3 with him. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,411 #4 Posted April 10, 2008 Congrats on the new ride Terry! It looks even better out in the daylight! So is this going to be the new "working horse?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,610 #5 Posted April 10, 2008 Jason, It will get either the deck off the C-141 or the plow off of it. And which ever one gets the deck, the other one gets the plow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 14,652 #8 Posted April 10, 2008 Nice looking machine Terry. I'm sure you'll get alot of use out of it! Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,610 #9 Posted April 10, 2008 Al, These black hoods are growing on me. At least the weak spot in these, the plastic fender deck, has been replaced with a steel one. I'm not sure if Stephen did that or the previous owner. But, either way, it's all good for me. I might have lost the rear tail lights, but that's a small sacrifice to pay for steel fenders. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 14,652 #10 Posted April 10, 2008 I might have lost the rear tail lights, but that's a small sacrifice to pay for steel fenders. Terry, TSC carries the tail light assemblies the exact same size as those reflectors if you decide you need them. About $5 each, ready to go... Just FYI, Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,033 #14 Posted April 10, 2008 That is a sharp looking tractor, Stephen should have taken out side pic's, It looks clean for the most part. I don't have a black hood Yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,610 #15 Posted April 11, 2008 Thanks, guys. I'm pleased with it. Kevin, Do you have the part number of those tail lights from TSC? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #16 Posted April 11, 2008 Terry those taillight are a pretty common item at any tractor,hardware, or truck service type filling station. I have put many set's of "Grote" brand lights on mine...maybe not OEM but an exact fit. I really wanted to give it a complete service before I shipped it out too. Been giveing all my attention to the Electro Mutt & getting it done lately. I'm glad it wasn't intimidated by Ken's D250 like the Cub was when it made a bid for freedom off the back of his trailer..... By the way Terry I put the original fender in the trash can in 3 peices...it was in bad shape. That one came from a C121 I parted out sometime ago. I hope she serves you well Terry. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suburban 550 28 #17 Posted April 11, 2008 Nice looking tractor Terry. Looked like a well organized plan to get it to you. Is the C-141 up and running yet ? A nice addition to your herd. Good Luck with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good Luck with it. Yes, the C-141 is up and running again. Rebuilt the engine a few weeks back and it runs good. I need a muffler for it, but I have a couple of options to consider for that. With this C-125, I now have two C's and a 314. And a 753 in Arkansas waiting to be brought home. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
