Is it a C165H or C160H, Let me know

[oldredrider 2,553]

Definitely a C-165

[Sparky-(Admin) 23,284]

You have a C-165 Automatic! Nice! 

  They came with both the Sundstrand and the Eaton 1100 hydro.

Post the model# and we can tell ya what year and hydro it is.

        Based on the engine number it would be a '78 or '79 C-161.   

Should have a Sundstrand hydro, filter facing to the right side.

Y'all have me a bit jealous. Horses everywhere but none so available in Georgia. Mine were brought from my farmer friend's property in Missouri.

Ummmm just to be clear, when I am talking about rustlin' horses, it is paying for one at a bargain.  I did pick up a mower abandoned by a tenant that Forrest Gump might be interested in, but I needed to clean out the garage for the next guy and I could not find the tenant anyway

 

 There probably was a lot of property left behind when the housing crisis hit, but I would at least check out who owned that shed that the horse was in. I know what it is like to have stuff stolen that I worked so hard to get.

Its a sundstrand hydro, the man installing the battery is the original owner's son, so its not stolen ,  i traded another mower for it, the 3 land owners at the camp ground said they had a hard time hooking deck up, i had it under & Mowing in 4 mins, LOL, the pain in my legs & shoulders went away while i pulled the deck in gravel under the Horse, But is was a Fair trade, i will take pics of the other serial numbers to post here, then if your decal friend can help me out with correct decals in which ill pay for, Should i repaint it or leave original ? Give me sum help Guys, Again its not stolen, but thanks for being concerned, I'm sure the Man 's Dad would be happy if he new its going to a Great Home, the Son was Glad, sdaid its hard to work hahaha, Kubota owner LOL

[Big_Red_Fred 1,548]

Just to add, the Man hooking Battery up is the Original Owner's Son Ken Jumper, the 3 Land Owner's at the river camp ground, i made the deal with them for the trade, the parts are hard to find the one Retired Man said, the Younger man that installed the battery said its hard to drive, to many controls ? LOL ok, and the other Retired Man Bob said he's to Fat to operate it so he just drinks the beer hahahaha, Hey its retirement Blues, So i Didnt steal it, I Took the pics, im the Dark Shadow in the battery install  Here's a Pic of Dirty Old Red Fred At work, Now you will see my face & the C is at my shop, i Steamed it off, came home to eat, heading back to work on C125

[Big_Red_Fred 1,548]

Kinda upset me to be called a Theif ? The Old owner Ken said he's Jealous, Maybe so 

[Big_Red_Fred 1,548]

Came home, Got a Boo Boo 

[ohiofarmer 3,379]

 I apologize to Fred. The part where his hands were shaking and adrenaline was pumping made me think that something was not right.

 

 Fred took the time to send me a PM that explained everything so I hope that everything remains OK between us.

 

 So keep on keeping on, and God Bless you

It will take a tank or two for best results.
