Picked this up locally for 25.00, weak spark from sitting for several years, but I may just try to pull the starter rope a dozen times each day and see if that doesn't help. If all else fails, I'll service the points, and flywheel with some sandpaper

A few pic's for your entertainment, from a local ploughing match.today, near Ely.

Thanks very much for that information and help. On the plate it only says, model number 1-036D. serial number 128598.... The thing I'm not sure about is where the two gear sticks are there is no H plate ? I will try and upload some pictures. Thanks again for your help. John

Hello, I'm new to this site so please be gentle with me. I've just brought my first wheel horse c101 but it has a 12hp engine in it. where can I get a manual for it as I want to restore it? Thanks John

No problem with the info. There are lots of Members in the Home Counties. It is a 1973 10hp 8 speed as they are known in the U.S. (Also No Name Tractors). Model number will be 1-0360 (Belgium continued to call them Raiders). Here's the Link to Toro Parts Diagram for it -LINK- The serial number also points to 1973-ish and your Tractor was assembled at the European WH works in Belgium with parts shipped from the U.S. Your seat and Steering Wheel were made in Britain and also fitted at the Belgium factory. Around that time, they used 2 types of PTO Clutch Linkage and either 1 or 2 Pedals, as surplus parts were still being shipped from the U.S that were no longer fitted to U.S Models. Flat top Gear Knobs look post 1974. Earlier ones were Spherical. There wasn't an 'H' Gear Lever Plate fitted on many 'C' Series before late '73' in Europe. Look's in fairly good condition. Way better than I get .

Hello John, Welcome. Wheel Horse started using C-101 on their 10hp Model from 1978 with a Model Number of 81-10k801. So depending on which year yours is, will depend on what Manuals you will need. Once you know your model number (on a small black Plate under left side of dash usually) and then the year, you can search for them on the WH sister site here- -Redsquare- Many of us here are also members on that Forum. As you have a different sized Engine fitted, you will need to note the Model, Spec and Serial number (if it is a Kohler) and search this site link- -Kohler- Any problems, come back with the details required above and we'll see if we can fit you up with what you need. If you have any pics you can post, we like pIcs. Regards

I had an Ariens tiller with a H60 on it that gave me fits over the spark problem, but I finally sorted it out after replacing points and condenser, it actually wasn't getting good earth as I remember. I haven't even looked at the electric starter. Sometimes diagnosis isn't done using Occum's razor, but rather Hickham's dictum, in that it may not be one problem, but a combination of problems. I've found that sometimes a few pulls on the rope every day in some cases is all it needs to wear the rust off or a light sanding of the points, we'll see. I have almost no use for it here on the prairie, but it may make a good piece to trade for a walk behind tiller.

As Norm says, handy piece of gear. Look's like a Techy H60 and may have been Electric start or they used a surplus Shroud for a Pull Start. The H60 I did had to have new points/Condenser and Air Gap reset after a clean before I could get a spark. It was laid up for over 25 years. Ignition Timing is a challenge, being 0.080" BTC, but then you probably know that already. Look's in good general condition though for the price

Now that's a handy machine. Can you send it over?

Spent the weekend at Ardingly, heavy rain on Saturday but quite busy and Sunday was bright and sunny. A good selection in the vintage section so here's a few photos
