Nice Gravley Skool's! Here is my 1978 Wheel Horse C-101, 8 Speed I restored 12 years ago to maintain my 5 acres, I cut approx 3.5 of it....I retired it July of 2006 when I purchased my B7800 Kubota with a 72" finish mower...(more fishin time!) I also bought a Wheel Horse 36" tiller attachment that I have used maybe twice! I would like to find a mid 1950's Wheel Horse to restore now.

Nice wheel horse. I have a 1976 C120 with hydraulic transmission that I just love. It has not been restored like yours, but still runs like a champ.
