The Horse Corral!

[jstertz]

This is one of my oldest sons most recent acquisitions...

It is a 95% original 1964 854 that he bought from the estate of the original owner. Caleb added the Nelson Stack and the fluid filled AGs and a fresh seat pad. All paint is original except lift arm and a section of the steering tower where it broke at the frame.

It is a super fun little machine...

And the originality makes it a time capsule from a simpler time!

Nice. You may be right on the year for the B80, they were made 1974-1977 and can be determined by model number. The C101 however was built 1978-1979 which can also be determined by model number.
71-08K801= 1977 B Series Garden Tractor B-80 8-Speed

1-0141= 1975 B Series Garden Tractor B-80 4-Speed
1-0145= 1974 B Series Garden Tractor B-80 4-Speed
1-0140= 1974 B Series Garden Tractor B-80 4-Speed
81-10K801= 1978 C Series Garden Tractor C-101 8-Speed
91-10K801= 1979 C Series Garden Tractor C-101 8-Speed
91-10K802= 1979 C Series Garden Tractor C-101 8-Speed

ya there were model /serial number tags on the B80 but nothing on the C101. I was going by memory recall from something I read from a chart on the Red Square Site about a year ago. That was about the time I was working on it to get it up and running for my daughters house.

I inherited this guy. 1976 D-160, original Onan 16hp. I want to start the restoration on it but I use it a lot and love using it so I fail to find myself deciding to begin. I got with it a Snow thrower, Dozer blade, Tiller, Landscape rake, Deck, Rear Grader blade, Wagon and other things.View attachment 135530View attachment 135531View attachment 135532View attachment 135533

Thanks Kraig! That was taken at the Symco Thresheree and Antique Tractor Show. It is a really awesome event with lots of vintage iron. They have lots of on site demonstrations including harvesting the wheat field in the background. The sky/field/background/lighting was just right that day and so I snapped a couple of pics right after we unloaded.
