ed lincoln 33 #1 Posted August 9, 2016 I picked a c161 up off of Seattle craigslist Sunday, the add is still up he wanted a $20 Starbucks gift card. I got it started today and it runs good. The rubber bushing/thing around the gas tank shut off leaks. Any Wheel Horse parts dealers in Western Washington.? TIA Ed 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ed lincoln 33 #15 Posted August 14, 2016 With the side panel off I can see the lift cylinder working but it doesn't raise the mower deck. Could something be disconnected under the tractor. Thanks Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
