Which one next?

[cdsl810 181]

Now that I'm officially an incurable Horse Head, I realized something after picking up the Suburban 400. I now own an example of every Horse era/decade except the 70s. I suddenly feel compelled to finish the mini collection. 1960, 1980, 1990, 1998 are covered. See what I mean? HOW can I call myself a Wheel Horse nut if there is such a gaping hole in the herd? I already have a C-125, so instead of another B or C, maybe I should be looking into a good 3 or 4 digit model number. Or, maybe a Horse with a name, like a Bronco... That would represent the 70s, disco-style. Hmmmmm

Don't rule out another b or c series, they started in the mid seventies. '74' I think

[cdsl810 181]

I looked at a C-141 that I really liked, and would have bought... but that was the crazy guy that started the whole Craigslist Nightmare saga. I ended up with a C-125 (2nd generation C series), and I like it. My neighbor has a B-100 with extra options of a 12hp motor and hydro drive. Nobody believes him. They all say it's impossible, but it really is all factory original. His dad bought it brand new that way. Anyway, that's a nice tractor too.

My vote is C-161:-)

I think a electro 12 sounds more disco-style

If you want 70's just get a B or C and paint it like the Partridge family bus!

When thinking of a 1970  I think of the GT-14; great contrast to the 400!

I have a 75 B-100 auto, but it is a 10 hp...Wouldn't this have been a B-120....that wasn't built?

[Racinbob 11,929]

There wasn't a B-120. I'm thinking the dealer just put it together for some reason or a C-120 automatic with B-100 decals. I'd like to know what the model # is.

I still want a C-195 and a GT-14.  Well, among others...

Here you go. The dealer (Weingartz) verified over the phone that the tractor was purchased from them with that configuration. They could not verify if they changed the engine for the customer, or if the tractor came that was from the factory. Their records listed the tractor as a B-100 Automatic, 12HP.

1-0511 is a B-100 automatic but has a 10hp motor. They only made B autos in 74 and 75. Who knows, the big block Kohlers look the same so just maybe someone put the wrong motor on it at the factory. Pretty cool.

"You could say I picked it up at the factory my self.  It's a 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 automobile...."

[Dhodge 528]

I have a C-114 automatic that came from the factory with a c-114 auto decal on one side of the hood and a c-114-8 decal on the other side of  the hood.  I'm guessing it was built on a hung over Monday or a "I can't wait to get outa here Friday"

Any wheel horse of course, but for me the bigger the better.
