TDF5G 2,051 #1 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) I need help. I think mental help. I've bought 3 WHs in 4 weeks. Got this one Saturday from my uncle. We've been discussing this for quite some time now and finally got together. 1981 C -105 8 speed. She runs but smokes and the muffler is rusted out. Seat is roached. Plastic fender pan not in great shape, needs a little body work. But she's all there and original. Needs a good clean up, he's been using it on the farm for cutting/hauling wood. Also got the owners manuals, 36" side discharge mower deck w/idler pulley support and belt, 42" Dozer blade that looks to be complete but it's been sitting outside, wheel weights and chains. He made me a great deal on it.He has another WH, 1992 310-8, we couldn't make a deal on it. I made offer, he came down a little, I went up a little, still too far apart. He's gonna try and get more $ out of it. I may end up with it if it doesn't sell. The mower deck is rusted out on it, but it runs great. He's always owned WH and would have bought a new one if they were still in production. He got a new one of those yellow and white things named after a baby bear.This makes 5 WH tractors for me that I currently own. I started out with one, B-80 which I've had and used for 20 years. The deck was rusted out and in searching for that I ended up buying a B-100 in great condition early this summer (with a good deck), got it running and got interested in fixing up another one, and I keep finding good deals on them I hate to pass up. It must be an illness. The basement is getting full and I need to quit spending Saturdays chasing down tractors and spend time working on them.

TDF5G 2,051 #23 Posted November 10, 2015 Got it running last Saturday. Needs a fuel pump and a muffler. Low on power but very little smoke. My uncle used it on the farm for feeding and cutting wood. Needs a trip to the car wash and a seat.Found out it's a 1980 not 1981. Drove it around a bit. Transmission works great. Very solid tractor and steering is very tight. May be worth an overhaul.
