rollingflat 123 #6 Posted September 20, 2014 is it ok to have the motor only secured w two bolts,or does it need aligned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,155 #7 Posted September 20, 2014 It should have two bolts through the bottom of the motor. I have a charger 10 that is the same way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollingflat 123 #8 Posted September 21, 2014 thats what it has... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollingflat 123 #9 Posted September 21, 2014 only the two left motor mount holes r bolted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molon_Labe 731 #10 Posted September 21, 2014 You did good on that one. Should make a really nice for you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,929 #11 Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) What Slammer means is the other 2 bolts come up from the bottom, you should see them if you look underneath. Lots of the motors on the Horses hang over like that. Edited September 21, 2014 by Geno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollingflat 123 #12 Posted September 21, 2014 where can i find a model # on the tiller there is no little plate i can find? is it on the gear box? Ok thanks for the clarification Geno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,030 #13 Posted September 21, 2014 As the others said, that's the way the motor bolts on. No worries. A hood shouldn't be hard to fine. You did good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldredrider 2,548 #15 Posted September 21, 2014 That IS a replacement engine. Unfortunately, I don't believe it's 16 hp as was orginally on it. Count the head bolts. Should be 10 for a 16. I only see 9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollingflat 123 #16 Posted September 21, 2014 thanks for the heads up on the head bolts had to go out and count...and there where 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #20 Posted September 21, 2014 While setting on the tractor....The right front bolt should be a "J" bolt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollingflat 123 #21 Posted September 23, 2014 update for monday...the c 160 runs good but needs some govoner work nothing major ...i dont think? so i moved the tiller over to the 414-8 fit was perfect and in the box of goodies that came w the 160 there was a brand new belt for the tiller! the tiller works great and garden is ready for garlic and wenter crops. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rollingflat 123 #24 Posted November 5, 2014 Update on the c-160 auto. new pics with the " new hood " mounted, muffler on and hydro linkage ajusted...WOW what a difference the tighter hydro lever makes, its enjoyable to drive!!! Thanks to everyone that gave me help w getting this horse back doing laps. And Bruce for helping w such a nice hood. motor purrrs and sounds good. Still needs a good scrubbing and wheel swap (rears) are off my 414-8. and new stickers. dont think I'll paint it thought It has a nice patina. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kudzu3 323 #25 Posted November 6, 2014 Isn't the motor mount missing here? I thought the mount was off set and the motor bolted to the mount. Just asking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
