Tractor size or just HP difference?

[brentonkjohnson 0]

This may be a silly question but are most of the wheelhorse tractors the same size with just a variation in Horsepower? For instance; is a C-160 larger than a C-120 or are they the same body/frame size with different Kohler engines?

Same...

Let me edit the post by saying there is no "silly question" on here...

just some silly people! :scratchead:

Thanks, I appreciate your sense of humor...and the answer to my question.

There are different sizes in different years. Some frames are short some long, for instance the two in my signature below are different by motor HP and frame length of 4 inches which makes a longer wheelbase. It just depends on which ones you are comparing. As far as to the C160 or C120 the C160 is larger.

Good question & yes there were some odd sizes.

But all C series shared common parts with different increments in horsepower.

There were short frames, mid frames, long frames & large frames...plus the D series.

For the most part all horsepower variations within the frame style would be the same sized tractor.

Brent, your question is not at all silly. One of the interesting- and nice - things about these tractors is the number of parts they share between years and even series. For instance, the 300 and 400 series machines of the '80's and newer are built on the same frame and many if not most of the parts are interchangable. The previous C-series machines also share some parts with their newer 300- and 400-series relatives, and many 500-series parts will interchange with 300- and 400-series tractors. Makes finding parts much, much easier. Parts also interchange among many of the the early tractors, but my knowledge of the specifics is very limited. I've learned a lot, and continue to do so, by reading the posts here.

This is a terrific hobby, anf I'm glad you've joined us in it!
