C160-8 oil loss without smoking

check out page 2 of the classifieds.    richmondred has an ad there.    again i suggest to you to contact richmondred.   repowering a tractor with a different engine is certainly doable.  but why bother when you can 'plug & play'  another kohler right in there.    everything lines up.  no screwing around.

 

i have a kohler 16hp K341 on my shelf that richmondred rebuilt some years ago.   i never started it.  i have it because as time goes by these things only get harder to find. richmondred shipped it to me via fastenal.     another member here on RS has an interest in it.    i live in the peoples republic of lefty looneys (taxachusetts,  err i mean massachusetts).    the other member lives nearby in rhode island.

 

the only bad thing about this site is somebody has what you need but, usually they are many miles from you.   thus shipping big heavy things is painful and costly.

All good info and I do appreciate it. I will more than likely wait and be patient and try to find a K341 and put it back original. I did talk to richmondred on the phone less than a hour after you mentioned it earlier in the thread. Great guy with a wealth of knowledge. I appreciate you putting me onto him. Unfortunately he does not have a 16 at the moment and doesn’t know when he might get another. I told him that I’m in no real rush and that if and when he found one to rebuild to go ahead and put my name on it. I plan to also look, either for a motor or a whole C160 with a good motor. If and when I find one I’ll get it to him for a full rebuild. 
 

Hopefully between the 2 of us we’ll eventually find one LOL. We’re not too far apart so just a little travel time would be in order.
