Picked up a C-120

Recommended Posts

CTPATRIOT

1977 model with an 8 speed.A friend of mine bought it from an old man who hadn't used it in many years.We put some fresh fuel and a new battery in it.I pulled the air cleaner to give it a small shot of starting fluid.She popped right off and sounds good after her long nap!VERY straight with no dents,repairs ect...Just has a cracked headlight lense and lite surface rust.I gave him a Bolens for it,he's deep into them.

I still LOVE my JD's,can't beat the power steering! :thumbs:My grandfather had a MINT C-120 back in the "80's,he did love that tractor.It had a deck,front blade and snowthrower.He sold it to fund a bigger machine.

I have had a 1977 C-120 for about 15 years now. I love it and it has never broken down. Good luck with it.

I bought it from the original owner complete with owners manuals.

Great find. I have two 1977 B-100's, the 10HP version of your C-120. This series of tractors is the most straight-forward, and simple to service machines out there. They have the coveted 8 pinion differential in the tranny, making them ideal for pullers, and interchangeability of most parts (other than engines and electrical) from the B-60 though the C-160. Many different accessories available.

Nice looking machine, I see it has the heavy duty rear wheels, they have solid centers that are double thick.

not Rare, just not real common, JD had them in the late 60's and early 70's on the 140's and if they have the right markings they can be worth a little bit. WH used them in the mid to late 70's I have a few sets.
