truckin88 104 #1 Posted April 20, 2009 Hey guys, I am a new member from NY. I have my father in laws father's C-120 8 speed w/ 42" deck, originally from the Hazelton, PA area, which is in perfect working shape (the sheet metal is all good, the paint shows it's age), this things is a beast. It sat for 5 years because my father in law has big kubotas and a farm. All we did is put fresh gas in it and jumped her she started right up. Since then it has all new tires with ag's in the back, new batt, new blades, new oil, new gear oil, new spark plug, new seat and has been serving my wife and I well. I picked up a fully intact 48" snow blade for $81.00 off ebay, and even used it already to flatten out top soil we got. So this got me into the horses so much I bought another one. A 1993 244-H, and it is like new, the seat is not scuffed, the onan runs great, it has a 38" super recycler, brand new battery, it will be perfect for cutting around the pond. The guy was super nice who I got it from, I got extra keys, extra oil filters, manuals. best of all it was only $350. Since it is a horse of a different bread it will be my mower only (way better than big box stores), where the C120 is my beast for all seasons. I would love to get a 300 or 400 series when one pops up at a good price with a 48" or bigger deck, right now I see a GT 1142 and a C140 calling me, but I am a newly wed, and am lucky she let me get away with the 2 I have. both machines use Rotella 30. Joined, because I am sure things will eventually break, and this place has been better than a manual the last 2 months for me. -Will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveBo- Steve, I wanted that 416 so so so bad, you knew what you were talking about....but it is worth what you are asking (wasn't going to low ball you)....and I didn't want my wife to kill me, I found the 244-H cherry for what I thought was cheap, so I picked it up. Plus I needed the smaller deck for around the pond. FYI there is a C-140 and a GT1142 for cheap on hudsonvalley.craigslist.org someone please buy them, so my wife does not divorce me.

Suburban 550 28 #14 Posted April 21, 2009 :drool: Will. If your tractor came from Hazelton, Pa. it's only 15 miles away from me. I take it your father-in-law still lives there. Hope you enjoy the site. :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah he does it was originally purchased as ringtown (I think is the name). There is also a place down there with a bunch of old wheel horses and parts, Zatolini's, he is cheap on some things high on others, but still a good sorce. Newburgh has two long time WH/Toro dealers with tons of parts, the one has ever part imaginiable, so hopefully we will be able to keep these running for a logn time.

Will, let me join the gang in saying ...and let me add, ! Stevebo's right - the wives (or at least most of 'em) eventually come around and accept our little addiction. I got real lucky in that department - my lovely bride has a four legged horse, and given the upkeep on one of those, she rarely questions my occasional forays for parts or used tractors! Glad to have you among us! Duff :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
