I bought a c160 in march and i got my grandpas c111 last year(that ones got a couple of rough spots and a god awful briggs) i think ive got a good start to a collection. i just staarted full time at gtd (greenville tool and die) as a apprentice so i should have all tools ill need to do these projects in a few years. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not that would make it the most efficient "ball burner" there is. Edited June 11, 2019 by formariz 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,394 #11 Posted June 11, 2019 Good looking tractor! Whoever put that engine on there with the muffler the way it is either wasn't much of an engineer, or never ran it! If they did run it, they won't be having kids. Post either in the classified section or the "big show" post, and I'm sure someone will post that they have every piece you need. Even if you can't attend the big show, I'm sure they'll ship to you.. More stuff for sale in that post than I've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jammankel 24 #14 Posted August 9, 2019 does anyone have tips on how to get the steering shaft apart 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,617 #15 Posted August 9, 2019 If you have gotten the roll pin out then warm up the hub with a torch and when it is red hot use a puller. If the roll pin won't come out you can heat it and let it cool then drill it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much easier than the steering wheel. There's a lock collar on the shaft as well which keeps the shaft from pulling out through the hood stand. You'll need to remove that or cut it off and use a new replacement lock collar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
