Will a C 160 rockshaft fit a C 121?

No, sorry...the C121 is a later design "wide body" & uses a different bell crank & lift handle than the 77 & earlier models.

If you look at pics of say a C121 & your C160 you see the area where the lift handle sets is different.

Are you talking about the rockshaft for the rear lift ?

If so there were a few different styles. The 1976 & 77 C-160's I would think have to be there own style. They have the gas tank under the hood. The C-121 had the gas tank under the seat pan & I would think the clearences would have to different. I would think if the fender pan brackets are the same width the C-121 would work on the C-160, but the C-160 one would not work on the C121. If you need a pic of one I have one in my 76 C-160. Going to use it as a pattern to make one for the 77 I just got.

Yes sir I am talking about the one for the rear lift. I'm trying to put a rear lift on my C 121 which doesn't have one. I saw a rockshaft on fleabay from a C 160 and just wondered if it would work. Thanks y'all.

If the seat pan frame is the same width on the C-160 and the C-121 it could be modified to work. The seat pan frame on my C-120 is 7 3/4" should be the same on a C-160. I look up the C-121 clevis hitch on the Toro site the short bars is alined with the long bar and bolted to it. I did almost the same thing to my rocker shaft to make it work with my receiver hitch. The C-121 lines up with the long bar on the right side I moved mine ti the left side to allow more room for the receiver hitch.

Here is a picture of mine after I ground the weld off. I drilled a hole in the long bar to match the short bar then welded it back on. I also had to move the lift bar on the clevis hitch from the inside to the out side with a 1/2" spacer to miss my receiver hitch. I don't have a picture of the rocker shaft after I welded it and repainted it. I can get you a picture if you want to see it.

Here is a picture of it installed. I made the changes to keep from having to remove the receiver hitch when the clevis hitch was installed.
