Rp.wh 1,103 #1 Posted October 8, 2019 She isn't pretty but it should make a good all around tractor for this kids, what are thoughts on a plow tractor for them, easy hydro with hydro lift it has a Kohler twin 17hp that definitely needs alittle attention pretty solid unit. the old man I bought it from only lived about 5 miles from me, he owned it about 5 years or so he bought it and got cancer sat in his garage for some time I was seeing it out side more and more I always told my wife I would own it if I seen it out by the road. I didn't find it by the road but found it online, sold it to me for 100 dollars, he said he was sick of tripping over junk so he gave me a wheel horse round hood, original wheel horse owner's manual and documents he made and sale papers, a bunch of extra parts and new points, I never was a black hood guy but couldn't pass up the deal. I have to get better pictures. Here you go @PeacemakerJack another idea that you created last year at plow day letting me ride that hydro 7 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,499 #10 Posted October 8, 2019 I bought one for my son. After I fixed some odds and ends and than found a plowblade. It was a GREAT machine for doing our 500 foot long driveway, and it did it very very well. Powerfull and easy to operate. My son Mike misses that machine, frankly I do to. Dont forget chains and weights, ESSENTIAL for the task. Best if luck. Glenn 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,743 #15 Posted October 8, 2019 Nice score Ryan...if this is one you plan to keep around for awhile (and I hope it is) don’t worry about the series 1 engine. We all know that they had their oil supply issues. However, that is a really clean looking blackhood that I can’t wait to see in person. I think you did great! Set it up and enjoy it. Keep a close eye on the oil level and if it ever has catastrophic failure, you can repower it with a Magnum or even an Onan. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pollack Pete 2,273 #18 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Very nice C-175.I have a couple of them kicking around here myself.Like others have said,don't be afraid of the series 1 engine.After all,that tractor's at least 30 or 35 yrs old and still running.Right?I see someone trashed the crappy plastic fender and replaced it with a steel one already.Smart move.Looks better too. Have fun with your new toy. Edited October 8, 2019 by Pollack Pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
