The 16 Auto is a 1973. Starting in 1974 they were called C-160. Not that well educated on any other differences.

According to details in the model list the 1973 '16' auto was fitted with the Sundstrand 90-2046 transmission, the 1974 C-160 auto was fitted with the Sundstrand 90-1140 which was used through till 1978 when the C-161 replaced the C-160.

The no name had the dcl on the console. The 160 has it on the side of the hood stand. Basically the same model.

Not much difference other that the decals between the '73 no-name tractors and their '74-'75 C-series counterparts. In '76 they changed the rear fender support and revised the rear lift to use a rockshaft, Pretty much the same tractor. All hitches and attachments will interchange.

1973 was a hydro gear sundstrand...1974 Piston to piston

 Prob biggest fact was AMC wanted a new image/name (on what was already known reliable) to enhance sales and make it easier to denote size (frame, capabilities). Then someone decides to throw a curve with the 2, 3, 4, 500 series, and all the rest, wow, Toro musta liked that since continued on.

 

But if you like it; it meets your expectations and price is right, just mark it up as an older brother and bridle'r up for the trip to a new pasture!

My 16 Auto has a piston-piston but, it may have been replaced. It also has the 10 pinion limited slip differential.
