picked up a Black Hood

Recommended Posts

Got a call today from my old boss and he had a friend that wanted to get rid of a old :wh: that was willed to him two weeks ago.

He tried to get it running and had no luck, but he was the last one to use it and said it ran like a top 2 years ago. It is a 81 c125 with a non broken rear fender. The pic that I have  does not show the rear fender, but it looks great and it has just some light scratches in it, but no cracks. It sat the last 2 years with a flat tire and it has two holes in the side wall. It has a non cracked 42" side discharge deck that is in useable condition.

Hood is very strait and very little rust on it. and all the parts are there.

 

I put in a offer of $250 and he said that i have to take all his small engine stuff two. So I had to ask what he had. He told me he had a 12 hp kohler from a cub with a starter gen that was rebuilt by himself 10 years ago, but never installed. A bunch of carbs, and one was a rup offset carb and a down draft carb that looked like one from a Clinton. Then he said that fits the engine sitting over in the corner. It turned out to be a 4hp Clinton off of a old rototiller he had that a problem with the carb and never got it back together. There was several other briggs engines and lots of other misl stuff, But I couldn't say no to this deal. I pick it all up in a week.

Nice looking horse scott! And sounds like a great deal with all the other stuff included! If there are any carter model N #18 carbs in the lot you want to get rid of let me know.

I think that was a killer deal with all the other stuff included.  And even without, 250 for a c-125 with an unbroken fender is also a good enough deal it wouldn;t have mattered.

 

The condition is nice enough that you could just wax it, keep it original, and it would be very nice to look at while being a worker.

 

I only got one deal this year and it was good but not like yours.

Great deal.  Very clean original. There are not many unbroken fenders left in the world.  Keep that one for the museum.

You're gonna like that rubber mounted engine. They shake a little at idle but are smooth as glass at working rpm. Good score!
