Wishin4a416 2,186 #1 Posted December 28, 2012 or maybe I wasnt as good as I thought I was.But He came through. Picked up a C-160 in Oh. today. Its got some issues but it will make a nice project for the Winter and Spring and Summer. Lol. Has a running 341 on it like it should and the hubs have not drifted so the axles shoud be good unlike the 416 parts tractor I was given. A few missing parts as one would expect for the price I payed. Deck is junk. Im sure I will be asking for advice and looking for some parts down the road.

SousaKerry 500 #3 Posted December 28, 2012 Wow that beast must be a bear to steer with that tiny little hot-rodder steering wheel, and a boat seat to boot... Looks like a solid tractor though :handgestures-thumbupright: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #5 Posted December 29, 2012 Probably had to pay extra for the "Hot Rod" steering wheel and boat seat! Looks like you have found a couple of good projects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,967 #13 Posted December 29, 2012 Congragulations Jack on the new addition! I really like the steering wheel, but I know that not the hot setup on a lawn and garden tractor. Overall the C160 has alot of potential. I think you will have it in good working condition by Summer. It looks like a good canidate for a stack muffler with a flapper on top.

Kelly 1,028 #14 Posted December 29, 2012 Looks good, get rid of the tiny muffler let it breath, steering wheel would have to go, I've had a few boat seats on work tractors they are VERY comfy, ugly but comfy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was my first thought. It has to be constricted. My plan is a whole redo except motor rebuild. It doesnt smoke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glgrumpy 35 #18 Posted December 29, 2012 Looks better than most I bring home! Wheel I don't know, but you need my address to send seat to me?? Kinda neat with the colors and all. I'm not fussy and wanting for those uncomfy WH seats. Old men need big seats, just needs armrests too! Deck don't look bad in pix, what's the deal? New belts and greasing my do wonders.
