GlenPettit 1,717 #3 Posted April 11, 2013 Welcome to Red Square. Nice looking Restoration, not many Wheel Horses way down there. Price is "Supply and demand", "how bad someone wants it & how well it runs". I would guess $300 -- $500 with a deck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,411 #4 Posted April 11, 2013 I bought a similar C -121 not too long ago for $400. Prices vary on location, etc. but attachments help sell to some buyers and some buyers just want the palin tractor for hauling a car, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
546cowboy 302 #5 Posted April 12, 2013 Clean that paint off the tires for one thing. If you don't have a deck I would say $350 should be fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse79 271 #7 Posted April 12, 2013 Welcome to the C-101 club! I have my Dad's 1979 C-101 that he bought new on 12/28/79. It has always been in the family and has been a great tractor. I plan on doing a mild restoration on it this summer after I finish restoring my newly acquired 854. I have a lot of good memories of my Dad (who passed away 10 years ago), the C-101 and me. Those memories make my C-101 priceless to me of course. Enjoy your newly acquired tractor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,976 #8 Posted April 12, 2013 JA did you just buy the Wheel Horse to fix up and sell? Or are you interested in becoming a Vintage Lawn and Garden Tractor Collector? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Kuhn 1,579 #10 Posted April 12, 2013 The plate you are looking for on the front...does your tractor have headlights on it or not? Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 994 #11 Posted April 12, 2013 welcome,your model number is 91-10k801,or 91-10k802,go to www.partstree.com, go to toro homeowner and then you can enter your model,then you can look in the different areas for breakdown pics and all parts numbers,the part you probally want is the front escutcheon plate,as i dont think the 101,s had lights,unless added after,some dealers put them on for people,the plate is still available from toro and the number is 7416,i would also get new rubber washers and push nuts for the plate,the part numbers for those are available at the site ive mentioned,its a great thing to have at your finger tips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,976 #12 Posted April 13, 2013 well i bought it to sell but tell you the truth im kinda getting attached to it Well thats nothing to be ashamed of Son. Most all of us here are attached to our Wheel Horses. Its good to see another young man here have an appreciation for the old iron, more especially Wheel Horses. I understand the whole buying and selling business. Its fun as long as you are making money, but be prepared for the item that every so often comes along that you get attached to like your Wheel Horse. How difficult is it to find a good used Wheel Horse there where you live? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
