Today I did something I’ve been meaning to do for years. Take the transmission and hydraulic system out of this 416-H. I took out the wiring harness and might save the spindles and steering wheel. This tractor was given to me and was already in rough condition. I lent it to a buddy to use around his farm. He is not known for taking good care of his equipment, so that’s why I let him use this particular tractor. Well after a few years of use he called me and said it’s making a funny noise. I went there and listened to it, it was knocking like crazy. Checking the oil I found none on the stick. I was not surprised or mad because I knew this could happen with this guy. Luckily the transmission oil was full so I drove it around and it worked fine. I brought it back home a few months later and it sat in my back yard for a few more years. So I decided today was the day to finally do this and junk the rest. 
 While I was working on it my granddaughter decided that she wanted to clean and work on her tractor too! I was absolutely thrilled to have her in the garage with me! ❤️

That engine has some valuable parts.  Carb, intake, muffler, ignition module, coil, stator.  I hope you're planing to save some of that stuff.

The floor boards on the GT series seem to be thicker than the later Toro branded machines and less prone to bending.  Might be worth saving

No home is complete without at least (2) FELs! I think that C-195 pedal tractor is shines just as good as your C-175, adorable little helper! Back to the 416-H, what do the 950 rear tires look like?

@Bill D Yes I was contemplating stripping the engine or just trying to hide the entire thing somewhere! As I said a few weeks ago though I am beginning to suffer from TMS Too Much Stuff in my life. Sometimes I look around and ask myself if I need all this stuff?!! It’s mostly Wheel Horse stuff and I have a hard time parting with things. It’s one of those things where I think if I get rid of it I’ll need it the following week! But I’m running out of space and don’t want a disorganized mess. Like most of us here I wish I had a big barn to neatly store everything in one location. 
 @Dan 312-8 the rear tires are shot, one has an actual hole in the sidewall.
