btm1970 97 #1 Posted November 17, 2013 I had most of my c195 complete last winter, then spring came. 140 rounds of golf later, it's cold outside and it was time to finish it .this tractor was the worst rust bucket I have ever worked on. refracman helped me with a few parts. also, learning the c175 has the exact same parts really helped. im just going to moth ball this tractor. I just cant see dropping three hundred bucks on rear tires that are not going to be used. here is how she turned out. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edwroy 138 #10 Posted November 17, 2013 A really nice restoration. Couple of questions - 1) what red paint did you use? Also, what size are the front rib tires? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baerpath 517 #18 Posted November 25, 2013 Looks great On the tires keep a look out for a Bolen's large frame. I bought one with almost new Firestone bar treads same bolt pattern also. Also on MTF there's a set of nice turf tires for sale in Wash state Closer to you than me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"D"- Man 827 #22 Posted December 1, 2013 Immaculate, you kept track of the number of rounds of golf, did you keep track of the hours that was spent on this restoration or when you started the tear-down? Mark. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btm1970 97 #23 Posted December 1, 2013 mark....no, I didn't keep track of the hours. you know how women can be.my wife keeps track of the golf because she likes to justify the price of a private golf club. it really didn't seem like it took any longer than any other one. I get all the missing and replacement parts before I even start. also, they are at my shop, so during work I can take a few minutes and prime something quick, or mix up a little batch of body filler. I still cant find a gt14 muffler. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
