Dale 0 #1 Posted December 7, 2009 got my c-161 back today traded my dad a c-81 for it. when i first got it the engine was bad and not rebuildable. I had a k301 12 hp so i bolted it on. Now i have a rebuildable k341 16 hp, is there that much differnce between a 12 and a 16 in a hydro? never had a good running 16 to compare it to. i will will be using it to plow my garden and push snow. will post pics later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 179 #2 Posted December 7, 2009 About 4 horsepower..... Seriously though it's hard to beat a good running K341, and you will be able to tell a big difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
