stevasaurus 22,230 #10 Posted May 22, 2010 Nice horse Don. That rib in the center of the front tires...could be very good in the snow this winter.??? What do you think? :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daddy Don 889 #12 Posted May 23, 2010 Ok to start with I got the tires off of ebay. Kartwheels@Juno.com $140.00 for the pair plus 22.67 shipping. They are Firestone 16X6.50X8. The front wheels are off a c141. Item #300428424530 on ebay. I hope that the ribs work great in the snow. They do great in the garden. I will hook a blade to it this winter and find out. The 14HP kol has a lot of power. I am going to use suite case weinght on the front instead of front wheel weights. Already have the weights just have to make the mount to put on the front. I have a rear discharge deck for it that I have not made up my mind if I am going to put it back on it. The tiller works great. I may just use it to till and push snow. To convert it from a briggs 11 hp was a job in its self. But it was worth it. Thanks for looking. Any more questions let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-Series14 15 #14 Posted May 23, 2010 Just a question so I can learn something new. Why is the throttle coming in from the left side? Can I assume that is an older 14hp than mine on my 1979 C-141 so was curious if that is the reason. Mostly, Love the tri-ribs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daddy Don 889 #15 Posted May 23, 2010 Yes it is an older 14 hp that has been rebuilt and the cable comes in from the left side. The tri ribs work great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Series14 15 #16 Posted May 23, 2010 OK...interesting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prater 75 #17 Posted May 23, 2010 C-Series, It is possible with the replaement engine that we routed the throttle cable wrong...just throwing that out there...can you send a close up pic of how your throttle connects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is on a C-161 but is the same on my C-141. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Toolman 22 #20 Posted May 23, 2010 My C-101 throttle cable is also the same way as in the picture above Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #21 Posted May 23, 2010 I have a 10 HP that should work that way, BUT the rod and pivot (mounted under the coil) was missing, so I had to put the cable on from the flywheel side. Maybe that is what happened to Daddy Don. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkopp 1 #24 Posted May 26, 2010 Great looking machine! I love the look of the ribbed front tires. Where did you get the anti slip material for the floorboards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
