Differences between a C100 and a C160

[Michael Thompson 39]

Hi guys, total rookie question here but I'm curious as to what the differences are between say a C100 or a C120 or C160 besides the engine and the decals?

 

This of course is assuming we are comparing 8 spd transmission versions. 

 

I have a beautiful C100 that I love and have no plans on changing but should the Kohler tire I might be open to a torque upgrade. 

 

This C100 is the first K series Kohler I've ever owned and I really like them. 

 

If I ever have the chance I plan on picking up another K series or to just to tinker with. 

 

Wouldnt be a a terrible thing to have a freshened 12,14 or 16 on the shelf should the need arise. 

 

Thanks guys and Happy Thanksgiving!

If your talking about the 1974-1977 models then there is no difference other than what you mentioned. They all have the same frame, steering and HD 8 speed.

Didn't the C160s come standard with headlamps and a tail lamp?

Headlights were optional on the B-series and standard on the C-series.

I'm not sure it matters but the K341 is taller so the drive pulley will be higher. I'm thinking that the belt guard will need massaging. Also, I seem to recall that the 10HP Kohler has a 1" crankshaft. If that's true the drive pulley won't fit.
