mrc 880 #1 Posted November 11, 2017 hi all, so after getting my son-in-laws C160 ready with the plow i turned my attention to his C161. it needed a lot of maintenance. the right axle seal was leaking, boy did this open a can of worms. some previous owner had drilled a small hole in each rear wheel,added antifreeze and plugged the hole with a tiny piece of rubber and a sheetmetal screw. talk about hacking!!! so i mig welded the hole and had a local tire shop put in tubes on both rear tires. the right axle had slop in the keyway. the key was good but the axle had .013 wear. i made a shim from feeler stock and now the key and keyway were nice and tight. i believe this was caused by the weighted rear wheels with the fluid. i changed the right axle seal, tranny drive pulley shaft seal and brake band shaft seal. changed the gear oil, engine oil, new air filter with pre filter and fuel filter. greased everything and added some things called wheelies. these are just plastic but, remind me of cragar s/s mag wheels from when i was a kid. best regards mike in mass. 8 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
