I'd like to add I'm one of those liars at the restaurant table ...

What was the largest diameter WH steering wheel?

It is ... nothing like holding on that wheel and lookin down the hood of a long frame '67 .. -
Looking for tombstone weight and factory headlights for round hood

Looking for headlights for round hood tractor and tombstone weight. -
For the short money they are I keep one on the shelf. If the pump isn't too gunked up and check valves are good no need to buy a pricier then & now kit. I like to glass the pump halves as they can warp from over tightening. That said don't over tighten on a rebuild.
-
You can't do a leak down test on these motors either since the ACR holds the exhaust valve open. Best way is simply pop the head off and check valve seats, bore condition and signs of oil wash. Is there a problem with it that warrants a rebuild or just wore out?

My old town dump is now an upscale subdivision!

Ok thank u all
-
Hmmm, sure seems like your wife got you that coffee too!!!!!
-
Hope you have a starter solenoid and battery ignition. If you do not know we can explain. This diagram does not have a solenoid. What ignition switch do you have? Describe

Engine making a loud clangy sound while running

Before I pull the head I will do a compression test. If by some miracle it does have decent compression, it really only buys me a little time before I have to fix the obvious. But at least I can drive it around the paddock once and enjoy. -
I’d like to add 42 years owning, using, fixing, restoring, and collecting Wheel Horse tractors and implements 👍🏻🙂

I like it! If the plastic fenders were good when I restored my C-175 I would have used them. That style has grown on me over the years, I’d even consider buying some in good condition for the right price. My C-161 Twin Automatic has those fenders but they are slightly damaged.

If you have a tester, do a compression test, usually you like to see 115-125 on P engines, when a seat steps out, that number will typically drop to low double digits
-
Closest I can find with your numbers is 74 C-160 8 Speed. Not sure if the wiring diagrams will help you since it obviously doesn't have the original engine. Tractor 1974 C-160 OM Wiring Revised.pdf - 1973-1977 - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum

103809 would be separated out a little to: 1 0380 9. Possibly with - in between. Either way that codes to a 1974 C160-8 with a Kohler engine. If you have a starter/generator in there then the engine is 1967 or older. Rare early 68s has them. If you follow the wiring harness for a 1967 model 1067 or 1267 it should work.

1016291or 103809 these are the 2 numbers that I can read on the frame tag

When we lived in the Philippines 30 years ago, I was the business manager for the mission. (We were missionaries.) I kept a stock pile of parts salvaged from washers and dryers. Parts for American style appliances were few, far between and horribly expensive. I even took the old mechanical timers apart and was able to repair a few. Once electronics moved into appliances, I was no longer able to be much help. Also, appliances became much more available and bringing these items from the States wasn't cost effective.
-
Most Kohler engines have a compression release. Because of this you can't follow the results of a compression test.
-
These motors have Automatic Compression Release (ACR) so it makes it hard to get a true compression reading. There’s a way to do it, don’t know it myself but someone here will. And…Welcome To Red Square!!

I'll chip in 82.

The wires used for brain scans--the tiny ones that use they attach to a person's scalp work great for my model rail road LED lighting. One of our grandchildren have to go every year or so for sleep studies and the staff at the hospital are willing to leave them in a bag (in the trash because I suppose they can't just hand them over to me) that a fellow can abscond with. Below is a electronic device that I make using a IC 555 timer, various resistors and capacitators. I use them to make the signal lights for the rail road. This one is one of my early ones before I had access to the scanner wires. Much of my train set setting and building are salvaged materials. Part of the fun either when remaking of the 520H or the model train is researching and making do with what's available.

@kpinnc I’ll have to look closer at it tomorrow.

"Back in the day" when my washer crapped out, I went to the local dump, searched through the white goods pile for the same or equivalent model. Took it home, salvaged what I needed and returned it. Unfortunately, those days are gone.
-
What's the model number of the C160? You'd need to know if it was originally a Kohler engine or a Tecumseh.

I buy mine at a truck topper dealer. He has 5 gallon buckets full from old topper lift gates at $5 each
