My "new" horse

:WRS: Glad to see the tractor has found its way back to a loving home. I too have a C141 that holds a very special place in my heart, mine was bought brand new by a very dear friend of mine who first introduced me to the Wheel Horse brand. It’s currently in pieces in the shop undergoing a slow but full restoration

Great tale! Also, can't help but notice the blue-interior Bullnose Ford, haha. Shame it had to go downhill like that.. but you'll surely have her back to her old looks someday!

Very cool that you were able to rescue it! A C-141 is what introduced me to Wheel Horses also. I've always thought that if someone is meant to have something, they will eventually wind up with it. Looks like you were meant to have it! I've went through a similar situation recently. 

 

Does it run? I'd definitely do a oil change and a transmission service before I drove it much. The transmission could have either trans fluid or motor oil - be sure to put whichever it has back in it. If it has oil, put 10w30 in it and use a Wix 51410 filter.

Aint that the truth! I did get it running gave it a tune up, they had a funky auxiliary fuel tank hooked up you can see in the picture, im currently in the process if cleaning the original fuel tank and hooking that back up. The trans flush is next on the list before i drive it. Thanks for the comment!

Not to get off the subject, but that's a nice old truck. Here's my baby at work20190118_133356.jpg.bb049ed4664e86c0bddbfc667f4e1fa0.jpg

 

We've also got a wrecker that's just a few years newer than yours, been rescuing Chevy's (including mine:lol:) since 199020190212_174125.jpg.35b69890206da40a04e6659956cd60f1.jpg

 

Now I'll get back on topic and share with you a picture of my C141 right after it came home to me
