C160 restoration

Recommended Posts

Bens vintage tractors

So I bought this c160 recently and a c160 has been on my bucket list of tractors for a while. Well it runs but the balance gear sounds like it’s about to come apart. So I’m going to swap this k341 out of a parts tractor into my c160 and then restore it. I will post updates as I go along.

What makes the 417 a parts tractor? Both look pretty good!

It's not that much work to pull a K series engine apart and trash the balance gears!

If you need any pics or reference material I have Cinnamon Horse C160 as know and also a very original future project '74 C160 here.

You guys and all these 16hp Kohlers are annoying. :D

 

They are getting pretty scarce these days, and I don't have one!

I have time to pull the engine but not take one apart.

What's the plan for the existing noisy engine that you pull?

What are your plans for the 417A?

Probably just a part out. Unless someone wants the chassis.

Honestly I’m not sure yet. I may still try and remove the balance gears before swapping engines but we will see how much time I have in the coming weeks.
