Oldcpecdr 255 #1 Posted June 16, 2020 Well you were all correct !!!!! They multiply... Took my van and trailer and picked up a B-100 with Hydro today... looks pretty clean and runs exceptionally well, only issue I could find was a weeping rear axle seal. I am sure I will be asking advice on changing both while its apart. I probably paid a little too much at 425.00 but Horses are scarce in the Northeast in good shape so I jumped right on this one.... first Craigslist alert that was a reasonably good buy. Let me tell you how much I love my trailer for this stuff, lower the ramp drive them in and strap them down.....and off for home... Mike B 6 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,284 #2 Posted June 16, 2020 Nice find! Looks like it came with a deck and a snowplow/tiller bracket so you did fine at that price in my opinion. I’ve never done an axle seal replacement but when your ready a whole bunch of guys here have done it and they will walk ya right thru it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roadapples 6,983 #4 Posted June 17, 2020 But....those yellow wheels are hurting my eyes.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldcpecdr 255 #5 Posted June 17, 2020 Sorry about the yellow wheels, last year they were on Amazon , two wheels and two tires mounted for- if I remember correctly about 40.00 - shipped. My C120 needed a pair for the front and the rims AND tires were the same price as tires alone...and I didn't have to struggle changing 45 year old tires !!! Sealed bearings ( well, bearings with a shield lol) included too, I will paint the rims soon, promise. I did need to make up a couple of 3/4" spacers, about 3/8 difference in hub width. Meanwhile the old rims and OLD tires (very old) tires are on a shelf up on the third floor.... probably never see the light of day till my kids get to clean this place out.

Oldcpecdr 255 #6 Posted June 17, 2020 Started with these two oldies 2 1/2 years ago, how come the TRAILERS don't multiply ? I should have four trailers by now, or do they have a longer gestation time ? 2 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

608KEB 796 #13 Posted June 19, 2020 It can't have to many hours on it. Looks like the original seat. Also the mower deck wheels look original too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
