Hello from SE Michigan

SC/397

Hello Everyone!

I am a American Motors car collector and had been looking for a Wheel Horse Tractor for a number of years to add to the collection.  I found a 1974 C-160 a couple of years ago on my way to work and couldn't pass it up.  It is functional and came with a mower deck and snow blade.  This is my first Wheel Horse so I am looking forward to learning all kinds of stuff on this site!

In addition to the AMC cars, I also have a small collection of Willys products. Included in the Willys theme, is a Empire Tractor which was built with the Willys drive train.  

Eventually.... I would like to take my Toy Tractors to some of the tractor shows and our local Tractor Cruise in.  I live near a small town that is two blocks long in the middle of farm land and yes, we actually have a Tractor Cruise in in our down town.  LOL!

Hi, SC/397, welcome!

 

You have the same model and year Wheelhorse that I have. I really love it! Hopefully you can post some pics soon?

I learned to drive in a 1969 Rambler!

I also have the same model and year tractor.  It's quite a workhorse.  Do the basic maintence on it and it will last a lifetime or more.371666846_c160pushingdirtpic1.JPG.2936fffada0808189c43961f2579fcce.JPG

And I too have a 74 C-160.

Mine is the Cinnamon Horse.

 

You've found a great place for all your Wheelhorse info, parts, knowledge and may even make a friend or 2. Or a lot.

These things should come with a warning label to warn you of their addictive nature.

With your collection of vintage stuff sounds like you'll fit right in! You'd get along with @AMC RULES
