Picked up another 1977 C-120 8 Speed

[MaineDad 87]

Picked up another C-120 tonight with the help of Darren;

All original and everything is there. Included a 42" RD deck. The engine is seized, so I'll have to dig into that sooner than later...

It was a cold day alright. It's always fun going to get a horse though! On the engine hope for the best but expect the worst and you won't be disappointed.

Bobby: I hope to dig into it tonight after work - I will let you know...

Micah, You are lucky I didn't catch that ad or you never would have got it! I think it looks to be a pretty good tractor and a great deck to boot.-Dennis

Update:

Spent a good part of last night and this morning taking the engine completely apart;

After the last engine tear down(s) I knew exactly what to do and boy did it go faster this time. I was also pleasantly surprised that the engine pulley came off pretty easy with the jaw pullers. The crank looks great, the piston is so burned up and I would guess I need to get this bored .10 over. I am going to clean it up and take it to my machine shop on Monday. In the meantime, I need to clean up the tranny etc...

Nice looking uncluttered work space you have there.

It will be a nice tractor when you get it all back together again.

Yeah, hard to imagine how you get any work accomplished in a work place that clean. :teasing-poke:

Bock and valves ready for the machine shop;
