Shuboxlover 474 #1 Posted December 13, 2010 Went on a short run today. It's a C-165, with a 42" RD deck, and a 48" plow The guy said he has had it for over 2 years and has never had it running, didn't know if it would or not. I turned the flywheel and it seemed like it had compression, so I don't think the rod is broke...gonna tinker with it over the next few days and see if I can get her running. It's really pretty clean, someone swapped out the rear fender, but other than that, it is a very straight tractor. What year do you guys think it is????

Sparky-(Admin) 19,580 #3 Posted December 13, 2010 Very nice specimen you have there! Whats the model # on the tag under the dash. The Black Hoods had metal stamped tags at first but I thing the tags changed to stickers, which is what mine has and is unreadable. Makes me think mines an 84. Mike......

Shuboxlover 474 #4 Posted December 13, 2010 Whats the model # on the tag under the dash. AHHHH.....It's clear up under there, I looked under there, but not well enough 11-16K801 1984 :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,580 #5 Posted December 13, 2010 Is it a decal or a stamped metal tag? Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuboxlover 474 #6 Posted December 13, 2010 It's a decal.....and VERY faded. The ones on the deck and the plow have no numbers on them :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #7 Posted December 13, 2010 Well I believe the 84's are the only year the black hoods came with that style metal fender factory, the other years they had the plastic fenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,015 #8 Posted December 13, 2010 Looks like you hauled home a very nice one Tyson! I hope it doesn't take too much to get her running! :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
145Automatic 7 #9 Posted December 15, 2010 Nice find. Looks like a very complete black hood. Let us know when you get that old shaker running. :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6wheeler 586 #10 Posted December 15, 2010 Nice tractor, You'll like it. Looks just like mine. Throw some wax on her. Mine wouldn't run when I got it also. It was just a broken wire (easy fix). And NO, I didn't feel guilty. 5 minutes and we were mowin . You might want to put greasable wheels on the deck though. I have a 10" plow for mine as well and it doesn't run out of power. But, the front end gets awful light . My wife still thinks I bought it to resell... Silly Girl. Have Fun Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,116 #11 Posted December 15, 2010 Nice Black hood. I like them as well. I really like them when the engine bay is stuffed full with a 2 cylinder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
