mrodgers 2 #1 Posted June 19, 2021 Hello All, I recently acquired a C-160 that I am working on restoring most things are minor and I may ask questions later. The biggest problem I have is that someone before me swapped the Kohler 341 for a Yanmar TS50C diesel engine (5 hp). Because of this I can't run anything off the PTO. In addition parts are impossible to find because it was an imported engine from the 70's. Does anyone know where I can find a new or rebuilt engine? I would really like to bring this tractor back to as close to original as possible. Also any advice anyone has for replacing the engine would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 10,519 #3 Posted June 20, 2021 Horses are herd animals, so no matter what you do if you have one horse, sone you will have several. So, consider finding a 2nd Wheelhorse for PTO applications. Keep the Diesel for its wonderful torqu to pull/push ground engaging implements such as snow plows, garden plows and disk. Also diesels are just cool rarities in the WH world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwell-8 4,367 #4 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) A Yanmar air-cooled Diesel needing parts? That's a first! Those old yanmar's are still running all out of farming in asia. It originally had a Tecumseh HH160 or Kohler K341AS. Edited June 20, 2021 by Maxwell-8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrodgers 2 #5 Posted June 20, 2021 There is a filter missing, a cover for the intake is missing as well. I also wanted to Reroute the muffler/exhaust up. I don't mind keeping the engine I just don't know where to find parts. I will upload some close up pictures when I get home. Here is the engine plate.

Wheelhorse#1 1,767 #7 Posted June 21, 2021 I’d keep that Yanmar. It’s a workhorse . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldnboy 1,026 #8 Posted June 21, 2021 You may want to look for a parts tractor too, since I see your going to need several PTO parts for that machine that appear to be currently removed. What your thinking of doing may require a significant amount of $$ to do if you buy parts from several different sources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
