Wheelie again 158 #1 Posted March 1, 2017 Hi friends good to talk to you all. Today I brought home what I think to be a C 121 today, and wow the amount of "cheap" fixing is staggering. I will explan some but I also have pics don't worry. First pic there are two key switches in the dash and neither work the gentleman had a piece of wire to jump from battery to starter you can see it hanging on the pto lever. The second pic will show two different size tires on the front with mismatch rims. The double muffler speaks for itself, well the list goes on and on i will show you all the pics and let you have fun spotting all the great engineering don't be shy pick it apart. With that said the motor runs like a Swiss watch and the transmission works goog. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blasterdad 3,044 #7 Posted March 1, 2017 Wow comes to mind, I kinda like the two key thing, maybe the po used to work in a missile silo, , (don't turn both keys to "start" ) lol. Personally, I would've snot welded a pair of ape hangers on it instead of "that" steering wheel. All kidding aside, she doesn't look that bad, just needs a little love! I also live in SW Michigan, hello neighbor! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
