Wheel Horse C160 1-0380.

[Hallforest 8]

Hi All.

I am new to Wheel Horse ownership having just got a tired C160 which is detailed on the red square list as being in Scotland and original made in Belgium.  It's missing a few parts and I have not tried starting it yet but one fairly major missing part is the rear seat and rear seat / wheel arch / fender unit. 

 

Just as a side note its also fitted with a pull start Kholer K321T

 

Does anyone have a seat / fender unit for sale or know where I can get one.

 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

David

You are on the right site!!!

 

There are a few folks on your side of the pond I am sure they will chime in with the more local parts availability...

Welcome! I’m sure you’ll turn up something that’ll suit that survivor.

I love my C160, it’s a workhorse. 
 

A 24 hp with a pullstart is an interesting retrofit.

 awesome rig!  @Skipper @meadowfield @Mickwhitt @sjoemie himself might know of a spare fender…

14 hp

@Pullstart thanks for the reply. That would be great if you know of one.

K321 is 14 hp, right?

I pullstart a 12.5 regularly and it takes a pretty good pull (I’m glad it usually takes only two). Not sure I’d like to try a 14.

Hi there, welcome to Red Square.

 

And welcome to the wonderful world of Whhelhorse tractors.

 

I have a C125 8 speed which I renovated from a similar state as yours. 

 

There aren't as many spare parts sources in the UK as over in the US but there are people out there with bone yards from where you can get lots of parts.

 

I would pop a wanted ad on this site and see if anything comes up. Or just keep hitting ebay looking for wheelhorse spares.

 

I registered my tractor so its road legal and that's fun being able to ride round on it if I like.

As you can see i was missing a seat pan and i found one via ebay.

Welcome to   @Hallforest

 

You came to the right forum with (questions about) your Wheel Horse. Lot's of knowledge and info to find here aswell as a lot of good people.. few funny ones too 

 

Like @Mickwhitt said parts are a bit hard to come by but every now and then parts pop up at Ebay or FB marketplace.

I can ask someone who might have the part you're looking for but he (like me) lives in the Netherlands.

 

Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark
