My C-101 wheelhorse

Just thought I'd throw up a coupla pics of my c 101 before an after I cleaned it up.
It sit under a big old oak tree uncovered down here in The Ozarks for 4 or 5 years.

I cleaned the gas tank, carb bowl, the points, an a new plug an she fired right up. I also drained, flushed an refilled the rear axle also. I just use it for pulling a yard cart around, an driving about a block or so down to the lake to fish. Its had a hard enough life, so I'm just taking it easy on it.

By the way, the motor doesn't use a drop of oil. This is the first thing I've got in my 60 years that hasn't been an oil dripper or burner.

Its a 1979 with a K241 10hp kohler that came on it. The c series tractors we're plentiful, especially east of the Mississippi where they were made.

I traded a plumber friend of mine a coupla hours of bobcat work for it...
