I dont know, but I think HÃ¥kans brother was one of the few, he has every thing you could possibly think of! Well, today has been a major set-back, something is wrong for sure, the horse fires up, but wont move at all.. Ive taken it apart and taken some photos ill be uploading soon, all help is welcome!

Nothing near the belt moves at all when I put it in forward or reverse..

Got it! A spring had fallen off, found an old one on the shelfs, fit perfectly and now its running again!

The new exhaust/muffler setup, sporty sidewinder action, gives an extra 2mph just on the looks! And the new snowchains, bought them from a local store, they are meant for atv's but they fit the horse perfectly!

Good you found out whats wrong whit it..

And here it is in all its glory, had to tighten up the snowchains but after that it was a complete monster compared to without the chains, the new spring worked wonders aswell, instant throttle/reverse!

Yes this could well be part of your problem the click is probably the starter solenoid, you must have a "hot" line coming from the battery and another wire from the opposite side to the battery to the starter. There is a "safety" switch requiring the brake pedal to be push down (acivated) inorder to complete the circuit.  I appears you wiring is in such a sad state that you will really need to re-wire the tractor and go from there. It is really pretty straight-forward.

The wiring is nothing worthy of describing as wiring, the brake is out of function, but it does run, ive bought a set of basic trailer wiring that will work well as a new system later on, but we got alot of snow this evening so no repairs just yet, I need more time on the horse first!

I dont know what ive gotten myself into but I just bought a hydraulic-unit for the c160, thank god my father is a tech-wiz so I think we can make it work,this tractor has taken over my life haha!
