C-160 Hydro & 48" Snow blade

Recommended Posts

jeff w

I have not seen the used C-160 tractor, but wondering if my current blade mount will fit on C-160. I've been using blade w/C-81, and want to use the hydro for blade lift! My blade is a 48" w/angle lever on right side, manual lift lever on left side. I think blade was last model built for WH. A very nice blade, just want to use w/hydro lift. Any information would be greatly appreciated. TY

Jeff - download the manual for your plow using the 5 digit model number. There should be a where used - interchange list there...

I'm thinking that barring unforeseen craziness like previous owner modifications, yes it was on a c-81 it should hold up directly to your c-160.  

 

The desire to try out the lift was the only reason I got a hydro. 

Took me a bit to get used to the controls because all our other tractors are manuals.

Nowadays I would highly recommend it for plowing.

I agree, it should fit the C-160.     But may require a slight alteration  the blade angle lever to clear the foot rest.

@jeff w  what ever combo you come up with , take the opportunity , to functionally check / lubricate the steering quadrant area. a red aerosol grease , especially in the slide pin point , and related lever arm areas , makes things move better . also like to have a plow , supported up off the floor , so you can roller stool around it , and improve / verify function . typically a plow rarely gets a tune up or service , rusty / dragging / binding areas should be lubed , also like to lubricate the front side of blade , helps slide off . use 1/8"  hair pin clips on rear axel lever holes , push them in to last large hole , so they won't fall off , pete
