Serial number help

Recommended Posts

Hi 

Hoping someone has background story on my serial number plate on a C160 8 speed I have had for some time. C160 was a worker until 417 arrived and stole the show... 

Never did figure out year, etc it actually is....anyone know what 1?66 USED relates in model year?

Pictures attached -

My wife said to many tractors....this one does need to go....trying to estimate $$ range

 

Thanks

I would think 74-75-76.  The 77's had a Model# like 71-16K80?

From the manual here....1975 C-160 8-speed model 1-0381.

 

My info came from "Wheel Horse by Years" spreadsheet. Go figure!

You can never have too :wh:, tell your wife you will get rid of the horse when she gets rid of 1/2 her clothes. Make sure you have somewhere to stay after the comment about clothes. Also RUN

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.

      1979 c-101 nice project tractor just needs a few odds and ends, steering wheel, coil, carburetor bowl, the wiring was redone by previous owner....all 4 tires are good and hold air it goes into all gears no problem, transmission fluid has been changed, 10hp Kohler, message me or call or txt with any questions, it does run and runs well,  it’s been kept inside since I’ve had it, I would also trade for a mid mount grader blade thanks

      Will the plow I am using on my C121 and C160 work on a 876?  
      or is the plow frame different?
      Thanks

      A HUGE thank you to Tony @Docwheelhorse for settin' me up here.
       
      The generosity of some of our members never ceases to amaze me.
       
      This here is another 1974 C160, but with the rare Tecumseh HH/OH160 OHV engine. Made one year only.
       
      It's rough. Very much in need of a full disassembly and restoration.
       
      When it came here it was missing one tie rod and the other was broken off one end.
      Today I popped used tie rods on and Trina used her 867 to drag it from the drive to the shed.
       
      The engine wouldn't move.
      Tin was near chock full of skeletal mouseseses and their house.
      Cleaned that out and the engine spins freely now.
       
      So progress has been made.
       
      It'll be a good long while before we get to this one but I just couldn't turn it down considering the rarity.
