Disassembly continues on the C160…

Nice! Do check for rust & cracks on the "F" plate of the frame - particularly around the four Underlive mounting holes.... If there is an issue, NOW is the time to fix it right. -

I think you did right by asking. I've seen stranger things dreamed up by engineers.

Disassembly continues on the C160…
RoubaixRider replied to RoubaixRider's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
It is now officially in two halves🤣 next step is going to be some serious cleaning and sanding/media blasting. I’m not going gangbusters on the sanding on this one… My hands took a real beating when I redid my CASE 444, so there’s going to be a lot of media blasting work done on this one. J -
No , you're not crazy , I think I am for thinking this stuff might have been the remains of some sort of seal , The more I think about it , I think your correct on the bailing twine or at least some kind of twine,

Well, in between house projects for the wife, I’ve managed to get pretty deep into the disassembly on the C160. It’s crazy… I have not come across one single frozen bolt yet! Gotta love that. I sanded down the front of the frame, primer’d it and painted a little section to see what my paint choice looked like for once the other components all get ready for paint. I think I’m going to go with Sunrise Red Rustoleum. I painted the mower deck and fenders and seat pan that color back when I was just tinkering with the beginning of the restoration and I like the look of it. For the rims, I am thinking about Rustoleum Antique White. From what I’ve read here on the forummany of you guys have used it and it looks pretty good… That nice creamy off-white look almost like Ford Wimbledon white. lol, even though I’m a pretty confident Mechanic after all my experience with the case tractors, I have been videotaping the important segments of disassembly and labeling a lot of parts just to be safe. Best, Jason

The state requires baffles on both the inlet and outlet around here. I like it because there are no filters to maintain and they are very effect in keeping the floating scum out of the leech field and are no maintenance. We had it pumped and inspected when we bought the place in 2019 and probably will again come summer just for piece of mind. The tank and leech field are way overkill for this house, especially with mainly just the two of us. I have never been one to dump any of the aftermarket snake oils in it and never will. I agree a properly maintained system will take care of itself.

Very nostalgic image. I like the yellowed postcard effect.

4' plow and 48" deck/blower/bagger for Toro WH 5xi

No, it would end up being freight. I just sold the last part a couple of days ago--I'll update this posting. -
Call me crazy, but that just looks like you picked up some hay bailing twine that wrapped around the splindle. I say this because I live on a farm and have to pull that stuff out of every mower deck I have... I've never mowed over it on purpose, but it finds its way to my mower every year.

Whatever works. ...works!

The plow is not on the 14-8, and won't fit the C-195.

Will you ship ? -
Actually I like the filter. It's just a screen in front of the leech entry, so it greatly reduces the amount of solids that may get into the leech line in case the solids tank is overfilled. My water side was relatively clear, but my filter had some sludge on it, which means the filter kept it in the tank. Since cleaning the leech system requires additional work (and expense), I'm glad my filter is there.

they made me put in a 2000 gallon tank. Also put in a split leach bed that you are supposed to switch each half year . when you flush 1.6 gallons, the flush water goes about three feet I would suppose. Total of 1800 feet of leach line plus another 200 feet of perimeter line. I built the entire thing myself with the backhoe at extreme limits of reach and shoveling the last bits out to level things up. I made custom rebar holders to hold the pipe elevations true while I backfilled the trenches with gravel. made the holders from motorcycle tubes as heavy duty rubber bands. The septic tank was priced with delivery and install and the guys said I did a great job

He'll be going into hibernation after he finishes my driveway. Merry Christmas (or holiday of your choice) to all of you.

You continue to be an inspiration on this score, Ed. Merry Christmas to you & Mrs K.

Do you put that blue stuff in the camper tank? That fosters breakdown.

Chipping away at my Stallion
Red Stallion replied to Red Stallion's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Two layers of clear is making it a lot shinier. You can see the pitting unfortunately, but too late to fix that. If I had my time again I would have spray putty before priming, and I wouldn't use the Rustoleum paint. -
Cataract removal ...another modern medical miracle. When they removed my patched eye and I left the office, I could not find my wife's gray dodge mini van. Finally I heard a horn blow and saw my wife in a tan van that we had been driving for over ten years. I just got home from a 4 day vacation in the York Wellspan Hospital where I experienced another medical miracle. Seems an artery in my upper sigmoid colon ruptured on Monday causing immediate massive blood loss. Got me in the tube for a CT scan that was able to locate the exact artery. Then got me stable enough to go in with the endoscope, find and cauterize the leak with the laser. Enjoy every day guys. Ya never know when a hydraulic line may rupture.
