This is a very rare 1978 Wheelhorse C161 twin 8 speed garden tractor. For Sale
Made in 1978-1979, these tractors were originally going to be C171's but Kohler had problems with the 17hp twin that was supposed to be used, so wheelhorse put a 16hp briggs and Stratton twin in them. The bonnets were made out of fiberglass to save having to set up expensive tooling so they had a new look but still would fit on the older style frames. These 161 twins are therefore a bit of a cross over model from the old C series unto the new one, with some rather unique features.
Here in the UK there is only a handful of these and there can't have been many brought over in the first place, making it a very rare collectors piece and a great little tractor to take to shows.
It also comes with a reprint of the 1978 brochure featuring the tractor.
It is in full working order apart from the lights which I don't think are properly connected. The engine runs well and starts easily, however the exhaust has seen better days though I have not addressed this as being a V-twin it does sound quite good and has previously been rebuilt.
The gearbox selects all gears and goes from high to low easily, also the mower deck has no rust in it at all and cuts grass well.
The tyres have been replaced and have seen very little use on them.
Both the bonnet and the seat pan are in very good condition, this is very unusual as they are fibreglass and plastic and can easily be broken if not careful. It also still has both its rear light lenses and a recreation of the original front light lens.
Please see the pictures as part of the description any questions please ask.
collection only or could deliver for the cost of fuel if discussed prior to a sale.
viewings welcome.

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help my. I recently acquired a c160 for the engine for another tractor. So I did a motor swap and wanted to see what the hydro was like. I put a plow on it C-160 (which now has a 12hp engine on it). I did a quick test run and everything was good. I drained the fluid and change the filter (Napa 1410 filter and sae 30 transmission fluid as it stated to only use this fluid on the tractor.) everything was working great after the fluid change. I plowed two driveways and the sidewalks near my house... all the sudden the tractor would not go forwards or in reverse. I tried to pick the plow up and nothing... I checked my drive belt it was turning like it should. I started to push the tractor and the rear was engaged so it would not move. Of course I was 400’ from my driveway and the plow was down which made it fun. I put the tractor in forward and started to push it and the thing took off. So I hopped on and took it to the front of the garage. I put it in revers and it cut out again so I pushed it in the garage. Today I went out to check the tow valve. I took it out and cleaned the threads up put it back in and it did not change anything. According to the dipstick I have the proper amount of fluid in it. I did have a drip that I fixed on the cylinder still nothing... does anyone out there have any tips to help me out? I’ve never had a transmission like this only manual transmissions. The model of this transmission is the sundstrand 90-1140.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Brian
