I just know you have to e proud of yourself for all that great work Chas! That horse looks awesome! That motor really gave you a run for your money! I plan to start a restore on mine soon. I'm taking some of the lessons you learned and applying it to my project! I hope to have the success you did! Very VERY VERY cool! Well done!

Tractor looks very nice there! Rick

[JimD 3,345]

You've done a very nice job on this tractor. :thumbs:

[WH854 44]

I had to put a new center pully on the deck. The old one was wearing out the sides of the belt. There was rust bild up on the small one I could not smooth out.I figured it was worth it wearing belts out at $30.00 a pop gets a little expensive, if you burn up more than one. Gave it a workout today for about 2 hours,seems to be ok now. Takes some getting used to the automatic though, not enough hands

Chas :D

Can any one tell the difference in these two sets of head lights? There is a difference if you look close

Chas :D

[WH854 44]

Well the difference is that one set has what is called spring clips P/N 108911 that holds the bulbs in the plastic frame. Which in my opinion are not very good at their job.The engine vibrates the bulbs like marbles in a can. The other one has metal plates holding the bulbs in the frame,they do not rattle around at all.That P/n 108054 they made them that way to make more money on the sale of the tractor.Cheaper to make the springs than the plates.That is my opinion.

After noon Fellers!!!

Well I was hearing a clicking and rattle noise on the C-165 Auto. I have had this problem for a while now, well about a month ago I started checking this click and rattle out.Well It turned out to be the idler pully shaft on the clutch pully. I bought a new pully,new wave washers,flat washer,new e-clip,flanged-bushing,new spring. It solved my noise problem I got some pictures of what I did.

Picture of new pully and new spring.

Pictures of tractor apart and back together.
