Whmaverick 54 #1 Posted January 16, 2013 I just scored a craigslist combo, 74' C-160 auto, tiller, and a short frame snow plow. tractor only shows 460 hrs on the meter. guy said it would run but would shut off intermittently and he finally parked it out of frustration. In short, a quick clean up and some tracing with a volt meter, replaced the wire from the points to the coil, a new gas tank grommet and she purrs like a- well a horse. the snow plow is in incredible condition for its age. Looks like it was stood along a wall and slid around all its life with no signs of wear at the attachment points or the swivel points. And now the tiller, it appears to be tight and right with moderate wear, I got the tension pulleys and spring but no lift assist spring or belt. Any help with spring specs and belt info would be great. I want to use the tiller on a 414-8 this spring. Oh yeah hope no one hates me for this but the CL ad was asking $300.00 for all of it and the tractor had a 42" rd deck on it. As you can guess I beat feet for the 90 min. trip two counties over to get it and didnt hagle on the price. the poor guy was fielding calls on it as we were loading everything. thanks for any help, here's some pics. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
