C-125 42” mower deck fit on C-160?

[Razorback 1,032]

Just a general question.....

 

I have a 1974 C-160 with a 36” deck.

Friend down the street has a C-125, has a 42” deck he’s offering me for free. I don’t have any other info at the moment.

 

Will it fit?

Thank you.

 

I have always liked this guy..... we think a LOT alike in many ways. This morning, I saw him outside, stopped and chatted for awhile. In his shop was the C-125.... front axle is off. He says the pivot is worn and will have a new bushing installed. He said he had the deck and I could have it if I wanted it..... had no idea he had a Wheel Horse.

 

I knew I liked him!!!

I need to clean it up a bit. Mike said he used orange paint on the belt covers simply because that was all he had at the time. I’ll spruce it up a little soon.

 

No ID tag on it, though.

I need to get a belt to drive this 42" SD mower on my 1974 C160. Did I see correctly that it needs a 1/2" x 102" belt?

Closer reading.... I think 1/2" x 103" belt..... no front carrier.

Got a 1/2”x103” Huskee Aramid belt from TSC yesterday. Installed it and tested out the new-to-me 42” SD deck...... I LIKE IT!!!!! That deck is still narrow enough to stay on the C160 in the shed and allow me to get other things in and out.
