I talked with the owner last night and it turns out it's a Super C instead of a C. The engine rebuild was done about 300 hrs. ago and he said it pulls very strong with no smoking/leaks etc. Cosmetically it's all there, but he said it looks like a 50+ year old farm tractor (color is between red and rust:-) Tires have like new tread but sidewalls are beginning to show some cracking. He's owned it for 15 yrs. and uses it mostly for a once a year cutting of a 19 acre pasture. He's changed oil once a year (after about 20 hrs. running/yr.) and says it starts right up even after sitting idle for several months. Only had to replace three batteries in the time he's owned it. The sickle bar apparently attaches with two large clamps to the rear axle. Apparently it doesn't have much angle adjustment. The hydraulics lift it about 10" off the ground. I'm hoping to see it this afternoon.
The only negative he was aware of was that the brakes are not quick stoppers. Are the brakes a difficult replacement/rebuild? From the photos of other C's the brakes must be inboard of the wheels?
Thanks again for all the info and help folks. I'm thinking this is going to be the beginning of another restoration project :-) Bob
