C-160 8speed

Recommended Posts

wikket

Hello,

Hope somebody can help. I pick up a C-160 8speed the other day, picture will be posted later tonight.

I was looking for the manual and some wiring diagram at the Toro website, nothing came up.

Model #

103859

Serial # 1027262

The search could not find anything.

The C-160 have a Kohler with I think an overhead valve.

The model number is actually 1-0385 and that C-160 (1974) is the only one that used an HH-160 Tecumseh OHV engine.

(that DOES NOT make it super rare, highly collectible, or worth more than any other C series tractor though - we'll just say it's more of an "oops" tractor :omg: )

"Oops" in a sense that Wheel Horse would try different things to try to appeal to the consumers and sometimes their ideas didn't go over very well -- not "oops", it was a mistake. :drool:

The Tecumseh-powered tractors rarely sold as good as the Kohler-powered models so there are just fewer out there.

The tractor is virtually identical to the Kohler-powered model with the exception of the engine. I personally don't have as much against a Tecumseh engine as some guys do, but still prefer the user-friendliness of a Kohler. :omg:

Not much in the way of downloadable manuals from Toro, only the transmission manual. You can order the manuals from them. The Toro site can be confusing so here's a direct link. Use your model number and none for the serial number:

Here's the big block Tecumseh manual that should come in handy. I got it off MyTractorForum. Fair trade, I've given some manuals to them :omg:
