I'm so sorry for your loss.

 

Your grandfather had great taste in tractors... as well as preventative maintenance schedules!

What a machine!  Maintain it and continue the legacy.  It will last longer than most of us.  That's what many of these machines are all about.

I’m 41 and it’s 35 so it should live along happy life. I started driving this at 6 my daughter asked my wife when I started and if she could she’s 10. 

I hade not been on much with going back to work. A newborn keeps you busy in life. I got this out of my moms house we’re its been for the last year of the 2 years since he passed. We’re cleaning out my moms house to sell since she passed away June 19th last year. 

Got new belts for drive axle, deck drive and deck belt along with new blades and a oil change to do. 

Wish you could find the oem seats with the horse on it. I’m tempted to put a General replacement on to keep this from getting worse. 

Also want to do axle seals on rear.

      I have a WheelHorse C-175-8 with Rototiller attachment. Machine is in great mechanical shape, just needs paint.  Engine has been replaced with an identical Kohler KT-17 Series 1.  New Carb has been installed.  Battery, solenoid and cables have been replaced, starts great.  Installed new Tires and Tie Rods.  Installed radial bearings in spindles, so it steers beautifully.  Fuel line has been changed, as well as headlights.  Bew mule drive and belt fot tiller and functions as designed.  I'm sure there is other items that have been done.  Very reliable machine. $800/BRO 
      Selling all my WheelHorse items and moving South.  Have other tractors ad parts if interested.

      For sale. 1981 WH C-175 Kohler twin series 1
       
      1. Tractor has brand new ag tires all the way around, brand new seat, new points and condenser, new rear blade quick attach bracket, lights have been rewired with LEDs, it has a brand new lift cable and bracket,seat pan is from a 410... it's surface rusted but at least it isn't busted up like the oem plastic one, starts and runs but smokes a bit on startup if it's been sitting for months but she runs smooth and strong.
       
      2. Tiller is like new. It had been used only about once when I bought it and now it has been used 4 times more. Tines still have much of the factory paint on them.
       
      3. 42" mower deck works perfectly, 4. snow blade was/ is rough but I repaired it so it is quite functional,
       
      4. Brand new rear grader blade,
       
      5. Wheel Horse brand plow,
       
      6. Wheel Horse brand disc- I added a piece of motorgrader blade for a drag. I also welded a post to the top to hold weights,
       
      7. Wheel Horse brand cultivator,
       
      8. Home built furrower. (Makes good rows)
       
      The original Wheel Horse plow/disc/cultivator originally came as a modular kit and in order to use it the draw bar and clevis hitch had to be swapped back and forth. (big pain) I fabricated draw bars and hitches onto each piece so this is no longer necessary.
      I think this is a fair asking price at $2200 for all.

      My grandfather is selling his C-175 and I want to buy it from him to restore it. He thinks he can get about $3000, but I think that is too high. It does come with a mower deck that is probably to rusty to use and a tiller. He says the tractor has lots of accessories on it. It will need some work as it hasn't ran in probably 15-20 years. I was thinking about $1000 but I am not sure. What do you think?

      I have redone most electrical components and fuel of this kohler K341. new spark plug, coil, starter, battery, rectifier, Carb, rewired, but i have not done points. it starts up great idols fine. when I turn the throttle up it rises up to a certain RPM then starts to seize and puff black smoke and the throttle on the the carburetor jumps. Someone had told me it is backfiring and said i need to adjust the my air to fuel ratio. started messing with the governing arm and spring and thought it was helping but hasn't fixed it. any suggestions?
