kto434 108 #1 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Does this look right to you guys? Did the C-125 Auto come with manual lift? Edited February 28, 2019 by T-Mo Edited to remove ad content Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 59,746 #2 Posted February 28, 2019 Sure, They could make more money by selling a hydraulic lift as an option. Take a look at this sales booklet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pollack Pete 2,273 #3 Posted February 28, 2019 I suppose that's correct.I do know that all hydro Wheel Horse tractors didn't necessarily come with a hydraulic lift.I'm sure others will chime in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 3,224 #4 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I had it's older brother, C-121 auto, had the manual lift. Edited February 28, 2019 by clueless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kto434 108 #5 Posted February 28, 2019 What made me do a double take is I have never seen the Eaton 11 tranny offered without hydraulic lift. I have only seen the light duty Eaton 7 tranny paired with manual lift—which made me wonder whether the C-125 used the Eaton 7 tranny instead of the robust Eaton 11.

JoeM 8,284 #6 Posted February 28, 2019 the one thing I have learned is there are so many variations, and little known fact until you dig into these machines. I have a C120 Auto with a manual lift and Sundstrand Hydro. The Hydro lift was an option also. The 1100 Eaton could go either way, but the 700 was only manual from what I have seen.

Ed Kennell 41,775 #7 Posted February 28, 2019 I have Sundstrands with both manual and hyd lifts. All my Eaton 700s have manual lift. All my Eaton 1100s have hydraulic lift. Not sure if this means anything....just sayin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kto434 108 #8 Posted March 1, 2019 Does anyone happen to know when WH began offering the Eaton 1100? A C-125 is an 80’s vintage machine and maybe the Eaton 11 series was not offered until later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,441 #9 Posted March 1, 2019 The C-125 Auto was only produced for 2 years 01-12KE01 (C-125) - Toro C-125 Automatic Tractor (1980) 01-12KE02 (C-125) - Toro C-125 Automatic Tractor (1981) 01-12KS01 (C-125) - Toro C-125 Automatic Tractor (1980) The E and the S in the model number is for Eaton and Sundstrand. 1980 was the year they changed.

kto434 108 #10 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Thanks for all the helpful comments. Gerry, thanks for the info. The tractor’s ID badge shows it is a 1980 model using the Sundstrand tranny (01-12KS01)—which explains it better—this C-125 is like my former 1979 C-121–Sundstrand tranny (probably the same model tranny—am gonna try to nail that down—with manual lift). It is fun learning about these fantastic mowcheens! Edited March 1, 2019 by kto434 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
