thats what i was thinking to be honest and yes restoration don't always pay off. might have to sell it as is then its all working and a good tractor just need the space for more projects so might have to go!

thinking of selling my wheel horse c-160 is it generally worth more restored or original condition in working order? regards joe

Selling a lot of my new old stock. this includes parts for chainsaws, lawnmowers. briggs and stratton, honda, stihl, homelite, qualcast, hayter, flymo, tecumseh, aspera. old Stihl, homelite, danarm chainsaw cases and engine parts too many to list! rotary and cylinder mower parts from nuts and bolts to engine parts, gears, blades, electrical, flywheels, carb kits etc! just DM with what you want and ill see if i have it! regards joe

worth a shot I thought! it seems people have them but just don't want to sell them! any idea of the price range that people are asking for them so it gives me an idea?

is that to ian? how much for if you don't mind me asking?

Wanted a wheel horse D series tractor for small forestry jobs and log splitting, in working condition but if needs work that's no problem!

thank you very much didn't even think of that!

hi everyone! I recently ordered a belt for my wheel horse and since I fitted there is a extreme loss in power and im having to hold the belt engager lever down to get a bit more power/ speed! the lever does work properly and is all correct now and still no difference! I now know its the wrong belt even though its the same part number as the one off it that unfortunately snapped when some wood got caught in it! if anyone knows what the right belt part number is for my machine it would be great. Regards Joe

I did wonder what you were planning as over this week end I was pulling some logs and one sliped and smashed the back light on my C-160 AUTO but I've been searching for an original but they all seem a lot of money for something that could easily get broken again, and they are hard to find. I prefer the barn find look if its not to rusted and damaged! that's why im reluctant to restore mine, but it does get a beating in the woods when I use it! Regards Joe

that looks great Alain, what are you going to do with the back lights? and are you re-spraying it or keeping it a barn find look? Regards Joe

it was a great bargain I thought, as the price was unimaginable in the UK! im sure it will, and for other generations! Regards Joe

I might be feeling a little jealous of your awesome collection of implements and tractors! by the way I got that head heli-coiled just waiting to have time to put it on the engine, thanks again for the head! regards Joe

where do you always find these great implements? you must have a shed just full of them!

I have a look and give you an update soon! just really busy at the moment and I was hoping it would move last Saturday, but ill keep you posted! im building a shed for it so its all closed off and secure and doesn't get rain over it as its in one of our barns but at the moment it gets covered in rain as it a barn with no sides! Regards Joe

well everyone, not good news on the Ferguson! I had a go at moving the cylinder, but no chance! in the end after 3 or so hours lightly hitting it, I got the sledge hammer out and waked them with it and a block of wood, there wasn't even on inch or a mm of movement. I think the bearing are seized, in the crank and because the cylinders are at the top and bottom of their stroke it will take a bit to move it! so its on hold now, until at least a few months! not very happy but i'm very busy with the business and customers! so there wont be much update for a bit of time! I'm almost thinking of selling it and buying a different tractor! but not sure just yet, so no-one get any ideas regards Joe

nice machine, Regards Joe

oh tidy, I really like that Mayfield! when I saw it on ebay I nearly bought it!

is the project finished? would really like to see the finished product/progress Regards Joe

are they still for sale?

that looks awesome!, but not practical for much, but a cool looking major Regards Joe

I have put some clean diesel down the bores, I just ordered some parts from agri line, I'll show you them shortly and I started looking at what needs doing to the head and radiator, I'm going to empty the diesel out on Friday and heat the cylinder up and pore oil in the bores hoping it will expanded a bit and will help brake the seal between the rings and the liners! Regards joe

I saw one on eBay about a month ago, and the seller was selling another cool mower that I hadn't seen before, the mudguards wrapped all the way around it! Regards joe

how much pal? always looking for another tractor to use! what HP engine? Regards Joe
