there are some contridictions looking at photos -- i have a 1980 c165-8 -- and the color in certain places do not match my tractor -- my pto pulley is red - this posted photo its black --- the trangular shape bracket that holds the pto lever arm doesn't match my pto brake bracket which is red - my pto arm and the trunion are not the shiny color as the shiny color silver in these photos - the hardware on this tractors seat platform connecting to the seat pan fender look almost brand new bolt heads -- there are inconsistances -- which may mean different manufacturing years???? Buit my i.d. decal indicates mine is a 1980 and the poster says this a 1980 -- but different things do not match. anyone have any thoughts if this posted tractor is all original, or maybe restored?

Chipping away at my Stallion

I have a horizontal mill, and considered cutting slots. Its right on that limit of my patience level, and right now just want to get it back together. Might still pull that pulley and give it some love. Which bit do you mean by the swing lever arm both sides of the console? -
@c-series don you posted while I was typing,lol. Oh well, Jynx...

@Brockport Bill As you can see this guy made this one post and then never responded or posted an update. I know it’s a long shot but figured I’d revive this thread and see if anyone knew what happened with it? I don’t think @stevebo ended up it ?
-
i read the thread -- yes, Don -- I wonder what happened to it Especially looking at photos i wonder if there was an meter showing hours? Even the rims look show room condition?

@Curtis H I’m wondering what ever became of this tractor? I realize he’s not on here anymore but maybe someone knows what happened with it? Definitely one of the nicest C-165’s I’ve ever seen.

@Red Stallion easy to get a local , metal shop to enhance that solid belt guard , also the main drive belt , rusty / dry idler pulley , looks toasted , and the rusty swing lever arm end on both sides of the consoul , lubrication would help it function better, looks like a need for some maintenance is due , pete -

C Series Clutch Shaft Frame Bearings
ri702bill posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
There was a fair amount of wear on the ends of the C81 Clutch Shaft where it goes thru the frame. Metal on metal, no bearings & not easily lubricated. I installed the bronze bushings on the 502 frame a while back, using the milling machine. The C Series has two sets of welded 3/4" diameter rods to hold the foot rests, the rear ones were in the way - could not do this in the milling machine. There were 3 choices - cut the rear rods off & reweld them later, do the work by hand, or - break out the 1950's ShopSmith 10E and use it. I went with option #3 - while the assembly & setup are extensive, it gives the best results. Pictures are for the RH bearing: the setup needs to come apart and be reassembled opposite hand to do the left.- 1 reply

Woops. Didn't realize this was an older post.

Start composting and add a little around the trees each year. Soil amendments can do wonders.

Fake. We haven't done a real tree in decades. Wife likes to get tree and all the trimmings up early--this year the first of November and it will come down before New Year's Day. These pre-lit trees sure make my job easier. I do enjoy the soothing ambiance of this year's tree.

Does a bear S*** in the woods???

Yes, I do believe that is where this thread went off the rails. -
Thanks for reply, may have found answer. It appears somehow "blocked download" got turned on, seems to have cured problem after hours of trying.
-
Hmm, I've downloaded any quantity that I want. I've never used Edge. I don't trust anything but Google. I'm sure Admin will be able to help you.
-
Went back and relooked, it says "download blocked". On some it allows several pages to be selected for download and that works. I'll keep trying though, no posts I've searched seem to involve this topic. Thanks again!

Disassembly continues on the C160…

That white reminds me of the rustoleum Navajo white, which is no longer available . -
Can not get post to select topic: Manuals, so added here. How many manual downloads is permitted per day? Have downloaded 4 and all other attempts report: Download not allowed or permitted or near that. Have read in Rules where some copy right restrictions apply but feel this is not the case here. Using Windows Edge. Any help appreciated,

Old thread. Late frost and great soil I imagine(there). We have late (for here) frost events. No soil here. Just dead sand. It will be a few years before I will have produce that has flavor or nutrition. I have mentioned before that in the time I have lived here we have moved a full zone up. Probably not a great thing. Trees look great. Currently 35 trees on my acre. 2 big oak, a handful of ornamental and mostly fruit/nut trees. They continue to mow all down to plant more humans here. I disagree Plants are the answer. Diversity...
