CTPATRIOT 12 #1 Posted December 10, 2010 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.

jpmcleod 4 #6 Posted December 10, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorseFixer 2,012 #7 Posted December 10, 2010 Great Trade! Yep the only thing better than a C-120 is a C-160 Big Block!! Of Course Auto/Hydro :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PPGman 5 #8 Posted December 10, 2010 I have 2 C-120's and they're great machines! It always amazes me what you can do with these little tractors :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,922 #9 Posted December 10, 2010 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. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgjks6 6 #16 Posted December 11, 2010 Looks great. Gotta love it. 33 years old and as good or better than enything they make now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #17 Posted December 11, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
