So I attempted to make a counterfeit WH lens cover.As you can see I boogered up the cut ! 

Ill try again and try to improve it some.

Not having the WH logo makes me a bit sad but I can live without it.

Looks good enough to me.

The C-160 rides again!

I finished getting the C-160 back together today. Had a few challenges that took a while. Getting the roll pin back in the high/low range shifter and getting the dog point set screw back in after the tranny was back under it. Tried using one hand for too long. It was too big and getting in the way. I was able to hold the shifter between palms and use both index fingers to run the set screw in. Then the lock nut.

I want to thank all of my new :wh: friends for all of your help. 

I ran it through all the gears successfully.

Someone could have cautioned me hold on tight when starting off in third gear in high range. I'm nearly 200 lbs and the front tires came off the ground.

Man that’s a good looking tractor! Glad you fixed it up and kept it after you had first had a slight inclination to sell…

Glad the guys on here helped persuade you to wrench on it and keep it.

Hope you spend many hours riding and working it !

Mounted the 1-¼” riser onto the 854. Seat sides no longer touch the fenders when I lean (yay!). I’ll do a fender repaint when the weather warms up.

Here the seat is centered over the rearward spring hole. The front (left) bolt only holds the riser to the spring while the rear (right) bolt holds the seat, riser, and spring.

Rotating the riser 180º centers the seat over the forward spring hole, moving the seat 2” forward while keeping the rise.

Seat forward position (square hole above front spring hole)

 This one needs some tinkering the old engine, everything works only 40 years of hard work is starting to show.

First i need to finnish clean out my little shed, so they all get a spot out of the rain.
