This is my 74 B-80, that I recently restored. It's not all original, the K161 8hp Kohler was replaced by a K301 12hp. I also added a tractor exhaust stack, rear AG tires, front tri-ribs, and headlights. This is my worker, and has logged over 50 hrs mowing duty since these pictures. Thanks

Nice restore, Thanks for sharing.
I started out cutting my parents yard back in 1981 and it was on a wheel horse tractor very similar to this one. Awesome tracotor!
Now you will have to go out and get another mower so you can keep this one nice.
Love it, after being a mower mechanic for many years I fixed one up like yours for my late Mom years ago, makes me think ot her, thanks for posting.
Nice job. You couldn't kill these units. They run circles around the plastic jointed home owner units.
Thanks for posting it.
Thanks to all, for the encouraging comments.
