wheelhorsekid 141 #1 Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Hey All! I just picked up a '79 C161 for $275. Is that a good deal? Needed a battery and some wiring redone and a few other odds and ends. I'll post some pictures tonight. Here are the pics guys. You'll see my '74 C160 in one of the photos. Edited December 4, 2012 by wheelhorsekid 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlenPettit 1,714 #2 Posted December 3, 2012 That is an excellent deal, you did outstanding. That is a very desired hard working tractor, what did you get with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhorsekid 141 #3 Posted December 3, 2012 I got the mowing deck and spare rims/tired and a few other extra parts. Also came with a plow but it's missing the handle to turn the blade. I just passed up a deal for a '74 C 160 8 speed for $300. That was a bad mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,967 #7 Posted December 4, 2012 I got the mowing deck and spare rims/tired and a few other extra parts. Also came with a plow but it's missing the handle to turn the blade. I just passed up a deal for a '74 C 160 8 speed for $300. That was a bad mistake. Repeat after me........... " I will never ever ever pass up a deal like this again" Let this be a lesson. Myself, I passed on a deal for a wheel horse like that once, and I'm still kickin' myself for it. And that was a long time ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stigian 1,234 #9 Posted December 4, 2012 That looks a very good deal... Not sure about the rear lights though, but that's just my taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

546cowboy 301 #11 Posted December 4, 2012 You really missed a deal on that C-160 though. But that's the way things go another one may come along. The C-121 looks good though except for those ugly add-on taillights. Ughhh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhorsekid 141 #12 Posted December 4, 2012 I agree the tail lights are terrible. Anyone know where i can get an original set? I put the rear wheels and tires on. Going to clean it up, put new decals on it and work it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
