These are great tractors. We have a "Herd" of them here. My Other Half has 5 from the 60s. I have 8 from the 70s. We share one 1986 that even has a backhoe. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for posting , I just got c141 1978 , 2 mo ago today painted the last couple of pieces today frame up , motor mounts, switch, wiring, tighten steering, adjust valves, coil condenser points, fluids, ag tires , mostly all new bolts. I'm really enjoying restoring this amazing neat old tractor. Around 25-30 rattle cans to prime & paint it and snow plow. Bomgars farm supply feista red, around $200. DECENT running when I got it . Wheel horse are are built like old farmall's ❤💯
They are great old machines. They just don't build them like that any more. You can do a very nice paint job with rattle cans if you take the time to do it right! Thanks for watching.
I remember when I was a kid and riding the school bus past the Wheel Horse Dealer. I wanted one. In the summer they would have the new tractors lined up outside. At 12, I cut ours and other neighbors yards for some easy cash. Using the Sears Custom 6 wasn't the greatest for hilly terrain. I needed something with more power. Nice installment.
I have an 877 and an 876. Working on a deal to get a c81. I just really got into Wheel Horse tractors and have fallen in love with them. Plan on slowly restoring them just to bring them back to glory and help them last longer.
Awesome. I trust my life to my c81. I restored my 68 raider 12, but I honestly like the patina of the c81 better. If you take the time to buff the old rusty paint and put oil or wax on it, the results are amazing. You can beat 40+ years of patina.
I have a 1967 commando 8 , I use it to push snow, I also have the snow blower and a 36-inch aerator and a 36-inch Scotts drop spreader I have not done anything to it other than normal mant. I did replace the mower deck about twenty years ago
Awesome, these old tractors will last forever. I restored my 1968 raider 12 in 2018. It's been sitting a while now, someday I'll pull it out and make a video of it. Thanks for watching.
Wheelhorse had two types of cast iron manual transmissions. 1967 - 1969 they were called 6 speeds. 1970 and newer there was a change in the build. For clarity they began calling them "8 speeds".
