Ny Horse 28 #1 Posted January 4, 2017 Hey guys, Have'nt been down to look at this yet but seems like a pretty good deal for $200. owner says won't start and has been sitting for awhile but motor turns over fine.Probably needs a carb kit. Says Deck has few holes but Tractor is in great shape. It's a C-125............ 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,994 #2 Posted January 4, 2017 It's not a C-125. C-125 is a black hood. Looks like a C-120. I'd go prepared to pay $200, but start with a lower offer. Just my 2 cents worth. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,867 #3 Posted January 4, 2017 Its not a C-125....maybe a C120?? But for $200 it looks like a good deal, any room to negotiate? Mike.......... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jellyghost 378 #6 Posted January 4, 2017 I would buy it for 200, but the chain and the leaning deck make me cringe. It is asking for some cosmetic body damage. Otherwise, the paint looks great. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it does look pretty good......and I was thinking the same thing about the chain😩 But maybe they are tire chains😃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 36,387 #13 Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) The only thing that scares me with a non runner is not being able to check the Sundstrand hydro. A bad hydro is sometimes the reason these tractors are parked. Having said that, you still cant go wrong for $200....that deck is worth that if the spindles are good. If, I mean when you pick it up, open the tow valve on the tranny before you move it. Edited January 4, 2017 by Ed Kennell 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 4,958 #14 Posted January 5, 2017 Ed. Has some good points there. Check the dip stick see what color and smell it. Make sure it does not smell burnt. If you have a jump box get a spark tester to see if you have any. Cheap at Harbor freight. I always carry one with me when I go looking. Take your time when looking. Check the oil and see what that looks like. See the condition of the wiring. This will be a good start. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,994 #15 Posted January 5, 2017 I don't know that it's a hydro. Could be, but after lightening and enhancing the image of the label on the side, it looks to me to be an 8-speed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 36,387 #16 Posted January 5, 2017 I believe you are right Bob. Much less risk with an 8 speed. Definitely a keeper. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
