Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I flip tractors with my dad as a hobby to spend time together and lets him have a retirement job he enjoys! We wind up keeping a few( Me mainly! ). Well a customer of mine been telling me of a tractor he wants to get rid of. Finally was able to see it, a real nice Wheelhorse C-85! We had a 312-8 a few years ago my neighbor fell in love with when we asked him to test it. We got it from another neighbor that killed deck. Well long story short the neighbor loved the cut and wanted to buy it! We are good friend with him, so gave it to him. Now is my chance to have one of my own! We have a 14/38 right now we replaced engine and are selling.  I am a active member in numerous forums, you may recognize my name if you go there as well. Hope to learn from all of you about the tractor!! Here are pictures of machine at customers garage. I go to pick it up tomorrow!

Nice machine, it's rare to find them with the rear fender not all busted up!

Hi Jim, was told battery was dead. I saw the power lead not connected to one horn, so I will add a push switch somewhere for them! My Sears Suburban had one, I had to remove it for the ignition coil upgrade I did to the Tec 10 HP.
