Beautiful machine.  I was hoping someone here on the Forum had bought it, and will take good care of it.

WELCOME !

Will do my best to keep this wonderful example in tip top condition, but also use when needed.

Thanks for the kind welcome back to the forum.

:text-welcomeconfetti:  Back Roly, AKA Lowflyer a previous member 'handle'. Glad you got back home ok. Your first task is to work it and get some dirt on it and take some shots of it wearing some mud :wwp:.

Like I said, I am more than pleased it has gone to you and it needs to kick dirt now and earn a living. Got too much going on with projects to miss it yet, and the workshop now has a load of space.

I will be down for a ride. Oh , and I look up to people like your Dad for inspiration of skills, ability and ingenuity. Got to keep them grey cells active.

Thanks, regards.

Managed to get some Wheelhorse time in today.

Did some chain sawing and then used the C120 for some hauling. 

As you would expect from Richards wonderful rebuild, started first key turn and ticks over sweetly.

 

Then decided to get my C141 out. At last time of trying, could not get a spark. Chased the reason back to a failed HT lead. Was one of the carbon ones. Made up a new one with a wire core and after not running for over two years, fired up pretty much straight away.

 

A few pictures of the days events attached.

 

Great machines.

 

Roly.

Having fun using my C120 beautifully restored Wheelhorse

Wow what an amazing cut with the deck that Richard did such an amazing job on.

Love the way that it does such a clean cut without leaving cut lines.

Thanks again Richard. Wonderful machine.

Good to see your using it. I’ve found that just sitting is the worse thing we can do to these machines. The gas gets old, leaves a gel type goo in our carburetors and fuel pumps and fuel lines, batteries go dead and critters move into the engine under the tins.

always preferred the rear discharge deck to s/d deck, the full width opening really makes for a smoother discharge. side tend to puff out clumps of grass , JMOO  . very nice tractor  , with regular care a  lifetime unit. pete
