River19 87 #1 Posted March 29, 2020 I have had the 160 for the better part of 20 years but remember when my father bought it in 1984 (still have the actual newspaper classified ad my father called on). It was our primary lawnmower up until about 10 years ago but we have recently moved to a larger plot of land where I would love to use it more as the garden tractor it is vs. lawnmower. It fires right up, everything works fine BUT, I have a broken seat hinge mount (part #102249) and I need 4 new tires. The tires I found replacements for and will order those and handle that. But I would love to find a new seat hing mount as you can't really sit on the thing now. I may work on a homemade fix but if I can actually source the real part that would be preferred. Any thoughts on sourcing that part? Other than that, I'll do a fluid change, filters, etc. Thanks - Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never know what we've got in the parts piles. Love to see some pics of the tractor and your progress of the restoration. Will do, once it stops raining here in NH.......it is sitting quietly in the corner of my shed. We moved last year and I hadn't fired the 160 up in probably 7 years......I had pulled battery and drained the fuel etc. so knowing we were moving I was dreading having to figure out how to disconnect the hydro trans etc. with all the other things we had to do to move. I figured what the heck, I put the battery in, fueled it up, cranked a couple times and boom......the Kohler fired right up, smooth as ever......so we were able to get it on a trailer and then to the garage, then the shed when it was built........ New tires are on the way as of today, I have a new air filter and oil filter already, gotta grab another plug or two for giggles and we should be able to do a decent tune up....... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
