Hello All,

I'm James from South Carolina. I just bought this C-160 and my wife is still laughing at me.

I'm new to the Wheelhorse world, but I always wanted something stronger than the normal lawn/garden tractors that are being sold these days.

My goal is to restore this one, but it looks like I'm in for a few headaches. Missing parts, rust, not sure if it even runs. It will turn over, but no fire to the plug. The coil is hot to the touch. missing front mule pulley, mower deck, hydo lift is prob. shot ect.

I've joined the yahoo groups that host all of the manuals, but I'll be asking plenty of questions here as well.

Thanks

Not sure pic will post, I've scaled it down to 48kb

Welcome to RedSquare James. So this is your wife :omg:

Just kidding.

The C-160 is a fine tractor. You will find everything you need here in the way of answers. There are many members with parts. Search the forum, and answers to questions abound.

We love pictures, so if you need help posting them, just ask. I, along with others will help you get your pictures posted.

Again, welcome to the square.

Bob

Welcome! You picked up a good tractor. Let your wife laugh, because it will be you who has the last laugh in 20 years when the tractor is still running strong.

Hope we can help.

Hi, James, and :D !

Although I'm a 300 series man myself, I've read enough on here to know you've gotten yourself a fine candidate for a rebuild, and it will last you for at least 20 years! As the fellas said, plenty of wisdom and good fellowship here, along with connections for parts and such. Post often, ask a lot of questions, and most of all, have fun!

Hello and :omg:

Looks like it is in decent shape. Some tinkering and elbow grease and you should have a keeper.
