AKincer 6 #1 Posted October 5, 2014 I'm going to look at a c161 auto later this week. I currently have a c125 8 speed. I'm pretty comfortable checking the tractor out, but I haven't been able to figure out from the literature and parts diagram where the tranny dipstick is. Is it under the seat like on the 8 speed or do I need to look elsewhere? Anything advice on other things that I should be look for specific to the tranny? I understand this model will carry the Sunstrand 90. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #2 Posted October 5, 2014 under the seat. This is the C-161 with the Briggs. with all hydros, you must run it to get it good and hot in order to determine if its slipping,slowing down etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKincer 6 #3 Posted October 5, 2014 i dont think it's a Briggs. The Briggs was a 16HP twin with a black hood. This is a 16HP single - should be a K341AS engine. Thanks for helping on the dipstick location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 23,139 #6 Posted October 5, 2014 Like Don said, dipstick should be under the seat. You should see motor oil on the stick (10w-30 or 10w-40) and not ATF. Good luck with it! Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
