MaineDad 85 #1 Posted February 21, 2009 So I learned something new today. One of the axle seals on the C-160 was leaking a bit. I am very picky and hate leaks. I had a couple of 8 speed axle seals so I decided to pick out the old seal, what was left of it, and put the 8 speed seals in. That was a mistake! What a leak I had now. I called the local Wheel Horse / Toro dealer and he informed me that the seals are completely different. He had one in stock and it is now installed. I plowed the 3 inches of snow we received over night and not one leak! I like it when things work out! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,586 #2 Posted February 21, 2009 Glad to hear this story had a happy ending Micah. Any idea how many hours you have wrenching on that C-160 tranny .? Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaineDad 85 #3 Posted February 21, 2009 Mike, Seeing how I bought it as a non-running tranny, I have done a lot to it. All new gaskets, tow valve, axle seal, piston pump and ring, rebuilt pump motor, and a ton of time learning. It now runs real smooth and was worth the experience. It was fun plowing snow with it tonight. Very fast compared to the 8 speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electro12WH 50 #4 Posted February 21, 2009 Was that the first one you rebuilt, Micah? How difficult was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaineDad 85 #5 Posted February 21, 2009 It was difficult at first until I found the parts diagram After, that it was a lot easier. Learning something new always takes time, but I think I have a good handle on this tranny now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
