Bar Nuthin 3,038 #2976 Posted May 16 (edited) Made a little 3-hour road trip to pick up this '74 C-160 Automatic. Everything feels tight, no slop in the steering or drive tensioner. no leaks. K341 Purrs like a kitten. When I got it home, the thing was dead as a door nail. I though "Oh Crap"! Turns out I had just never owned a tractor that still had all of the safety switches working properly. Pressed the brake and double checked the PTO lever - BOOM fired right up. Heck, even the internal parking pawl still engages! Edited May 17 by Bar Nuthin 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 32,326 #2978 Posted May 17 Better pics of todays haul. 5hrs of windshield time, low $ for this one. Tractor, deck, snow blower, & a set of tire chains. Runs great, mower deck is smooth & quite, tranny needs a little love. A new set of axle bearings & seals should cure the issue. 3 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fj40z 215 #2981 Posted June 10 Just found this thread and realized I had this picture. This was pulling in the driveway after we made the trip to pick up the C160-8. My youngest son had to ride on the tractor down the driveway. 5 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
