Eb is right on, it's a 1976 and yes it was originally a C160 8 speed

Seller had replaced both rear axle seals not long ago as well. 

Nice looking Horse! 
Sometimes a leaking rear axle seal can indicate other issues.
Jack up the tractor, remove the rear wheels and see if you can move the axle hubs up/down, side to side. Any movement more than a tiny tiny amount can indicate worn axle bearings and or axles. New seals usually don’t last if the bearings are worn. 
In an out movement is ok

Thank you sir! I’ll sure do that as soon as I get a chance

 Here’s a pic of the data tag. Any guesses to the model year?

Hard to see in the pic but it reads

 

61-16K801-03173

6311

 

 

The first 6 in the first line is what tells the year here.  I don't recall the methodology behind it.
