CHARGER9AUTO 3 #3 Posted August 12, 2008 Hey GREG, The C-100 / C-160 is basically the same tractor so I'm positive the 16 HP Kohler should clear the hood . B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHARGER9AUTO 3 #4 Posted August 13, 2008 I taken out the Kohler K-241 10 HP motor and mounted the K-341 16 HP in my C-100 for more horse power I need to put the tractor back together tomarrow . Ben I could take the tractor a part and sell it in parts sheet metal , frame , transmission locally to thin out the herd of parts tractors . Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse_of_course 99 #12 Posted August 13, 2008 Just a comment thrill not-withstanding, :horseplay: :banana: more power is not necessarily all that useful. And with the price of gas these days it is best to size the tractor to the requirements. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHARGER9AUTO 3 #13 Posted August 13, 2008 Mike, I heard over the phone you put a 12M MAGNUM in your C-105 I need to tear down all my parts Wheel Horses because there is no sense of them rust away . I have a '73 12 8 SPEED I've picked up with 12 HP Kohler but it knocks The man who sold to me didn't say it had any problems until afterwards when I hauled it home and tryed it out . I like to rebuild this with the 10 HP Kohler off a '72 Raider 10 6-Speed . Ben.............. makes mistakes to fix up Horses B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHARGER9AUTO 3 #14 Posted August 14, 2008 I found out that the 5091 transmission does not stay in Gear on my C-100 I will tear the tractor down to It's frame sell the rest for parts . I never rebuild transmissions only restore tractors . Ben....... Wheel Horse :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
