Macgyver 90 #1 Posted April 21, 2018 Ok here's my choices a 75 D180 or a C160. Neither one is running & no history. Both have a mower deck. Are the decks interchangeable with a 520 from either tractor? What would be the best to choose of the 2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #2 Posted April 21, 2018 C-160! as it is the closest for interchangeability with the 520H, now as long as for the decks the 48" shells didn't change just the lift linkages between the D C as they evolved into the 3/4/500 series, Jeff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,840 #3 Posted April 21, 2018 C-160. Easier to work on and get parts for. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,116 #4 Posted April 21, 2018 C160 Much easier to maneuver, and work on. parts are more readily available. is the C160 an auto or 8 speed??? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,463 #5 Posted April 21, 2018 One more vote for the C-160. You have a wide range of equipment and parts interchangeability and a bulletproof Kohler single cylinder engine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin4a416 2,185 #6 Posted April 21, 2018 I would take the 160. Lots of attachments out there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macgyver 90 #9 Posted April 22, 2018 The C160 is a hydro as is the D180 it does not have steering brakes or 3pt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris G 3,274 #13 Posted April 22, 2018 I'd also go for the C-160 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12 hp Kohler 1,014 #14 Posted April 22, 2018 I would get both 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pollack Pete 2,273 #15 Posted April 22, 2018 I say buy both.The 160 to use as a worker.The 180 to tinker with/have fun with.Not a good idea to pass up a Wheel Horse when available.Seems like they're getting kinda hard to find.At least around my area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
