I found what I think might be a deal on a 1978 WheelHorse C-121, it runs great, comes with I think 43 inch mower deck, snowblower attachment, and a WheelHorse trailer, the guy wants $450, is it worth it? and is this a good model? from the little info I can find it seems like its a bullet proof tractor for sure, it has a 12hp Kohler with a 8 speed auto, Thanks for any help.

the old wheelhorse tractors where rock solid I don't know much about that model but would think that was great deal if all of it works

We had one in the 70s It was a tough unit and I would jump on that if I could.

I mowed 5 acres of bermuda grass in Oklahoma every weekend with that exact model and never had a minutes trouble from it! I was 10 or 12 years old as well so you know how hard I was on it. Everything was cast iron so you couldnt tear it up!

Thanks, so in other words its a tough machine

I own 2 66' cubbies and a 68' Bolens. Wheelhorse is right up the same alley when it comes to longevity, quality made machines.....well maybe not as good as the cubs(ok, fond of my international cub cadets)

I agree, we.....I mean those guys are as bad as us Cummins guys

I,ve got two Wheel Horses They are tough an you can get just about any part you need even for the old ones . The only thing I haven,t been able to get is a seat for my 520H .

I can't offer you alot of help or info but my neighbor when i was young had one. he bought it in the early 80's and had it till the late 90's some time. He died and his wife sold the tractor so I dunno where it went after wards but the entire time he owned the tractor it did a good job for him. He only did regular maintenance abd adjustments to it. It seemed to be more reliable than the Ariens my family had at the time.
