Never fear, Trina is here.

Yes it is very hard too explain to very nice people, that do not understand electricity, and the safe use of it why something is very wrong and a safety hazard , when everything is working and has been for some time. They were just very lucky.

OK umm big question - ho do you know the engine is seized? Did you pull the motor and pop the blower shroud off the front and check for mouse nests or jammed starter or some debris fell down and jammed flywheel up against shroud? I've seen many such issues with engines mounted like that that came in deemed "junk for parts" that the person simply did not or could not be bothered to spend the time and effort to pull the engine and actually look .....

The battery I'd thought was good, may well be NFG, yeah it was bought new last november, but it's layed around the shop all winter in and out of various machines and not much down time on charge. I'll move it into a machine and verify charging before hand to see how it responds.

2 The C-161 is a great machine, and that 16 hp is a beast. Enjoy your time bringing up to snuff, it will be well worth it. A wet sanding and a coat of Flood finish should be all it needs if you like a patina finish. It's only original once.

About the ID tag, some times when they are hard to read, take a lead pencil and rub the numbers then lightly rub it off. The lead will fill the numbers and make it easier to see.

Got any fuses in the wire from the solenoid to the amp meter? Could have blown one while the spark show was going on.

Morning tasks: A#1 not negotiable. Drink coffee. Then, tractor fun... we're headed to the garden area this morning. First - rip garden surface. Then whatever conditioning Trina decides... Re-pile rows, mounds or whatever... Plant. Add manure. Then, a few trips from the front yard, around the far side of the barn, to the garden, hauling the mulch I made with the Mackissic chipper shredder. Busy day coming up. 😀

May 31, 1859, The famous tower clock known as Big Ben, located at the top of the 320-foot-high Elizabeth Tower, begins ticking over the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London, for the first time.

This should give you a good diagram to go by.

from another Eric. You've managed to trip over one of the most desirable and best worker models Wheelhorse made. Best idea here is to clean the WHOLE fuel system. Remove, clean, and replace the tank, ALL rubber fuel line, filter, pump, and of course carburetor. Check the carb top shaft for excessive wear. For parts: 1. Place an ad in our classifieds. 2. PM @76c12091520h Brian. 3. CALL Lincoln at A to Z Tractor in PA. There are several other places to get general maintenance items. Luck!

Kinda sounds to me like the knock you hear is the solenoid working but there another issue with the starter, bad wiring or?

My favorite: I got called to a school. Steam cooker would quit mid cycle randomly. I get there and of course it's working and won't quit. I replace the normal wear and tear items like flame sensors and igniters. This goes on for a year. Can never get it to act up. Then they call and want all of the GFI's replaced in the kitchen. Ok they are as old as time itself. We find cloth wiring. Then one day I'm replacing a fan on their walk in freezer. The kitchen manager shows me this old Bunn coffee pot. She says they get zapped by it once in a while and wants to know if I could fix it. I told her to junk it and go to Wally World and buy a new one. Few month's go by and we're installing a new induction fan motor on one of their boilers. The Facilities Director comes into the room laughing. He says to me they finally found out why that steam cooker keeps quitting! Turned out there was a lady who came in mid morning and the first thing she does is make coffee. That Bunn coffee pot would trip a GFI. So she would move the pot to another plug. Every once in a while she would trip the GFI that fed the steam cooker. She just never told any body and they would find the GFI's tripped so they thought they were all going bad!

OK, check the fuel supply to the carb. Pull the line off at the carb. and crank the engine while you hold the line in a container. You should see a strong spurting supply. If not install an electric pump as low as possible near the tank. Do not let the pump run dry. You need a 2-3.5 PSI pump. I have had good results with Carbole. They come with a inlet filter to protect the pump. Amazon.com: CarBole Gasoline Electric Fuel Pump Universal 5/16 Inch Inlet and Outlet Inline 12V 1-2A 28GPH 2-3.5P.S.I.

The first 6 in the first line is what tells the year here. I don't recall the methodology behind it.
