23 Reo 229 #1 Posted April 9, 2021 Just picked up a C-125 8 speed. I an trying to identify year. Can't read any of the model number but the serial number is 26444. The deck model number is 78345 with a serial number of 5903884. The tractor has a steel fender pan without the Wheel Horse sticker. The wheels seem to be painted silver although it is hard to tell with all the rust. My guess it is a 1983 or 1984. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuneup 1,441 #4 Posted April 9, 2021 01-12K801 1980 01-12K802 1981 ... and so on The pan may not be original to the tractor so the model ID is key. Welcome to the world of the Black Hoods! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 58,492 #6 Posted April 9, 2021 Presuming it has the same engine it left the factory with it would be a 1980 if the engine spec # is 47723D and if it is 47742 it could be anywhere from a 1981 to 1984. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
23 Reo 229 #7 Posted April 10, 2021 The spec is 47742 with serial number 12165241. The fender pan is metal like my 1984 C-165. The wheels are white, not silver. What year did they stop making the plastic fenders? I had a 1981 C-125 automatic with the plastic fenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,289 #9 Posted April 10, 2021 Good chance your tractor is a 1983 model 11-12K801 because the 26444 serial fits in amongst others.
