clueless 3,263 #1 Posted November 7, 2019 In the past month I've removed all the sheet metal on the C160 auto to clean everything good and replace a few parts. Now I plan to start putting it back together, may take a month or so, retired no hurry, I was thinking about the foot pedal that I believe Mat sells for the later models. Has anyone put a foot pedal on a C auto? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 10,781 #2 Posted November 7, 2019 No sure what tractor looks like, but now would be a good time to buff out the sheet metal or give it a coat of clear coat to preserve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 3,263 #3 Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Jim, it's a little late for that, when I got this one it was in good shape the original owner keep it up. I decided not to obsess over this one, yea right, just clean it up and replace some of the worn parts and use it like a rented mule. Once I started removing the sheet metal some of it had some rust, seat pan, foot board. seat mount, belt guard, nothing bad just surface stuff. I decided hit those spot with a scotch pad and then a shot of RR paint, well that didn't look to good so I painted the whole piece. My wife reminded me I was starting to obsess again, the hood looked good so I left it alone now it's going to look like a cheap paint job on some of it, but like my wife says that how a rented mule should look . 7 hours ago, oliver2-44 said: No sure what tractor looks like, but now would be a good time to buff out the sheet metal or give it a coat of clear coat to preserve it.

Any tractor with the motion control lever on the right side console. I don't promote the design because it is a single spring loaded pedal that will go to reverse if you fall asleep on the tractor.

RJR49 138 #6 Posted April 23, 2020 I'm a little late but I used a few of Matt's parts and made a couple of my own to make it work on a C-160. You can make the parts with hand tools but a lathe and a Bridgeport are a lot better. The big advantage C's have is no disassembly or modification. If you're interested I can send drawings / instructions 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're interested I can send drawings / instructions I know I would like to see your setup. My horse bucks like crazy the first couple passes with the tiller on it. Foot control would make it more manageable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
