mailman 1 #1 Posted July 3, 2008 My C-100 that I got from Eldon has been pretty busy pulling my version of $142 a barrel from out of the woods. Take that OPEC! Or rather, KEEP IT! Each round I split makes me smile thinking about all the oil I won't be buying this winter or the next. Who knows what it will be next year. My 'horses and my Stihl chainsaw and a lot of sweat (aka exercise) will keep my family warm, my wallet a bit heavier and most importantly, my WIFE HAPPIER! That makes everyone happy!

Sparky-(Admin) 19,587 #2 Posted July 3, 2008 Thats the way to use yer horse Eric . Its amazing what a 10hp cast iron Kohler in our old tractors will do. Mike............ PS...Hows the charging system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #3 Posted July 3, 2008 Eric, That's a nice looking tractor you have there. Nice load also. That 10 hp probably didn't work too much of a sweat either pulling it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #4 Posted July 3, 2008 Nice shiney tractor! But the hood decals look different than my C-100. Those side decals look exactly like my Raider 10 decals. Maybe yours is a different model year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mailman 1 #5 Posted July 3, 2008 Yeah Terry, I doubt the tractor even felt the load. Even uphill! Mike, I still haven't checked out the charging system. It keeps the battery charged, but that clik clik clik each time I try to start it is still there. I usually turn the key about a dozen times and if it doesn't turn over I jump the solenoid and it starts right up. I wish it was just the solenoid, thats an even switch out.

mailman 1 #6 Posted July 3, 2008 Nice shiney tractor! But the hood decals look different than my C-100. Those side decals look exactly like my Raider 10 decals. Maybe yours is a different model year. I know the decals are different. It was painted so I figure whatever decals were around when it was done, were slapped on. Mine is a 1974. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #7 Posted July 3, 2008 I totally understand and agree with whatever decals were around. I was just curious. Perhaps mine has the wrong decals....lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #8 Posted July 3, 2008 When you jump the solenoid are you jumping input to output (e.g. the two large terminals) or from the small terminal to the battery (input) terminal? If it works jumping from the small terminal, then we know the solenoid is "OK" (though onl OK not perfect. I would remove the wire form the small terminal, wire brush the terminal and the lug on the wire. Then follow that wire and clean the other end (at the ignition switch most likley) in the same way. Odds are 3 to 1 that will solve it! Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
