WH Raider10 17 #1 Posted December 4, 2010 Hi guys, I'm going to buy a c-161 twin with a 8 speed transaxle. I don't know why but I can't find much about it. I've seen them automatic but not like that. Can someone help me out? Pieter-Jan :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mavfreak 11 #4 Posted December 5, 2010 there is a couple more around. I did a thread about the engine, I don't know how to post the thread. It states All I did was change the steering wheel If you can find that it has some helpful info in there Its a pretty good tractor so far. It was pretty neglected by the PO. But still really good other than that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mavfreak 11 #5 Posted December 5, 2010 If you look under the engines section on the board index its about half way down the page All I did was change the steering wheel!, backfire! and flames! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WH Raider10 17 #7 Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks for the link! Is it hard to find parts for these engines? What is the correct type of sparkplug for it,I'm gonna put new ones in it for the first start up. Does anyone else has this type of wheelhorse? If you got some pics would be great. :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racinfool40 202 #8 Posted December 6, 2010 Here's my c-161 auto I picked up from a member here "Kelly". It has a replacement 18hp twin runs great. Now it's ready for snow duty. I purchased it for the hydro lift for the snow blower now if I would just get the chance to use it!!! I replaced the plastic fender with one of a c-120 I had to cut a hole for the Gas cap but other wise works great!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH Raider10 17 #9 Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks for the pic! That's a nice tractor. I've been looking on the internet for engine parts if necessary and a carb rebuild kit and gasket set for the engine is pretty cheap. Still need to find what sparkplugs I need for it. What type of oil goes in it? :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racinfool40 202 #10 Posted December 6, 2010 I run Champion RJ 19 LM plugs in my 18 hp twin and a good grade 10w30 oil. Thats what our local Toro shop told me to run when I called him..And that what was in it when I bought it!! :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH Raider10 17 #12 Posted December 11, 2010 I'm going to haul the tractor after new year. Before that I've to much things to do,visitting family,... The first thing I'll do if I got it home is take pics of it. Be patient... Thanks for the tips on sparkplugs and oil. I'll have to go to the lawnmower store I guess! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mavfreak 11 #13 Posted December 11, 2010 i'm intersted in if there the same over there as here. I'll be waiting. :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH Raider10 17 #14 Posted December 11, 2010 I don't think it's completely the same as the ones you guys have. It has German decals on it. And it looks to have an extra small beltguard next the big one that goes over the drivebelt. And i'm pretty sure it's not homemade. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #16 Posted December 11, 2010 it looks to have an extra small beltguard next the big one that goes over the drivebelt Probably for a powered collector system. It's not easy to see in this image, but you'll get the idea: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH Raider10 17 #17 Posted December 11, 2010 :D Terry for that picture. I think you're right about that,I was also thinking it is for a belt to power an implement. In two weeks I'll post pics. :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
