Shuboxlover 480 #1 Posted January 8, 2010 I have verbally agreed to buy a C-160 Automatic, hydro lift, 42" deck and a dozer blade (front portion ONLY, "blade part") for $200.... It is in original condition, not in great shape, but o.k.....you know...a 35ish year old tractor that has been used, but not abused. IS THIS AN O.K. DEAL??? let me know if it is or isn't so I can ease my mind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kajamo240 3 #2 Posted January 8, 2010 I would say thats a pretty good deal! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 179 #3 Posted January 8, 2010 Hard to say without seeing it in person but it sounds like a decent deal. My 75 C-160 auto was one of my all time favorite tractors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duff 206 #4 Posted January 8, 2010 If the engine runs anywhere near decent, the hydro works and it's all intact, I'd say $200 is fair..... Duff :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockbuilt 7 #5 Posted January 8, 2010 if that is in good running condition I would go for it :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuboxlover 480 #6 Posted January 8, 2010 Would it share parts with newer Wheel Horses i.e....my 1982 work horse or 1989 312-8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,071 #7 Posted January 8, 2010 Sounds like a fair deal to me as well. Your attachments will interchange! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankB 16 #8 Posted January 8, 2010 Would it share parts with newer Wheel Horses i.e....my 1982 work horse or 1989 312-8? I believe it will share a lot of implements with your newer tractors. (I'm not sure if that's what you meant by parts.) One way to check that is to search for "AA_WH_Interchange_1955-_00" and you will find a PDF that lists the attachments that work with various models and cross references the different attachments. I used it to determine that a 7-1252 tiller (from '74) would work with a '97 314-H. I think the PDF may also be found at the wheel horse manual group on Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wheelhorsetractormanuals/) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tgranthamfd 29 #9 Posted January 8, 2010 Sounds like a good deal to me. All of my decks and attachments work on my 74 C-160 8 speed, my 80 C-145 8 speed, and my 2005 Classic GT 315-8. My brother has ordered replacement parts for my 2005, to put on his 75 C-160. ( mid atach a matic and such) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,347 #14 Posted January 9, 2010 i think it's a good price. it's worth more than that in parts, but i would never suggest parting it out. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
