MaineDad 85 #1 Posted September 5, 2008 Well I just got done mowing the front and back yard with the C-160. I must say that having a RD deck combined with the Hydro cuts mowing time down quite a bit from using the 314-8. I was able to do the whole job without any problems. The tranny is still leaking and I am considering taking it off an reinstalling the new gaskets again. Maybe one tore during the last installation, not sure. Worth a shot because I cannot stand leaks like this. Just an update... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaineDad 85 #3 Posted September 6, 2008 I took the transmission off to check the gasket. It indeed was torn and I noticed there was a section where I had not scraped off the old gasket off. Cleaned her all up and put on a new gasket. No leak there anymore! I still have a small leak on the pump motor which I will order another gasket and start that over too. Another great thing happed with the tranny! While she was off, I took out my huge pair of plumbers pliers and gave the tow valve a crank. She turned! I removed it and installed the tow valve from the back up tranny. Things are getting better - knock on wood :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse_of_course 99 #5 Posted September 7, 2008 Whoo hoo Micah :banana: Glad to hear things are getting better on that horse. I am also glad you left it hydro! So, you should have lots of melons now, and tons of tomatoes, what else? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 10,939 #7 Posted September 8, 2008 Hey Micah, just grind the end flat and weld a little "T" in it. Then put it back in the spare tranny... Really glad you got it working. Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BairleaFarm 339 #8 Posted September 8, 2008 Can you take a picture of where that goes? I cant find mine on my C160 or my B100 for that matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
