‘79 C-161 - Parts?

[TractorEd 633]

Put the tranny back on and installed the new hydro hoses too.

 

you can also see that push/tow valve has a nut on it.  Welded it on.  Not the prettiest.

Looks great from here Ed. 👍

Where could this nut and washer have come from on a ‘79 C-161?

 

The nut is a 7mm hex head.

Added hex head size.

@c-series don any ideas? 

 

Metric?!!??

The only thing I can think of that is that small would be the bolts that hold the headlight bucket in place? They were not metric from the factory but obviously someone could have replaced them by now.

I’ll look at that, thanks

@c-series don
If the lift height indicator were on a clock face, what should be the travel distance for a C-161?

 

mine travels about 2 hours, maybe 2 1/4.  Like from 12 to 2

[c-series don 8,685]

@TractorEd I’d say that you are correct with 12 to 2 .

would you be so kind and willing to let me see what your C-161 engine stickers look like?  I’m going to need to order some new ones, but this one on mine is obviously not original.  Not sure if this is the appropriate one:

 

 

my ‘75 c series has a decal with model and spec with a separate decal for the serial no and they are on the back side of the engine (same side as starter)

Many of these were placed by the Kohler factory on the right side of the engine as faced from the flywheel. 

That's a fundamentally useless position because that's where the starter solenoid is on a Wheelhorse.  

 

We place ours in a more practical and readable place when repainted.

Thanks @ebinmaine.  While Im not planning on repainting anything, I’m just trying to put it back to the way it was.

Just trying to figure out how they did the 1979 C-1x1 series engine decals before I give redoYourHorse a visit since I’m replacing the blower housing right now.

I’m currently installing the tie rods from Lowell.  I ordered the engine decals that look like they should match.  And I’ll be putting the engine and extra parts back on shortly.
