I have a c160 that the tow valve will not turn. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and how they solved it.

Yep lots of pb blaster pentrating oil. I grabed mine with a vice grips and slowly worked it loose. Just dont force things take it slow maybe let it soak for a week before you try it.

I had to make a special blade that fit the slot and then I could put a pair of vice grips on the metal blade

I had a C-120 that had a locked up tow valve. I used cotton balls soaked in PB blaster and had them on the valve using a little metal bar leaning against the tractor to hold it in place. It took the better part of a week but it did help keep the blaster on the threads and it did let go.
