19richie66 17,583 #1 Posted August 9, 2017 Did they ever make a C-175 with a KT-17 and an Eaton 1100 rear transaxle? I got the tractor in my avatar back from my sister and it has a kt17 series 1 engine but when I went to look at the seat bracket on it today, i lifted the seat and it has an 1100 in it. Not sure if my dad put the engine in from something else. It has the flat cast steering tower. Id tag is almost unreadable. Thought I would ask the pros as I go on another journey trying to figure out what my dad was doing. 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,583 #8 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) This is the only photo I have of my dad with a wheelhorse. Im not going to change it. He must have swapped the fenders back to a metal pan because those nasty gilson fenders are gone. Just trying to figure out what it was before the hood change. 😁 Edited August 9, 2017 by 19richie66 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
