I can't see the pic with the ID tag very well but the tractor appears to be a 1978 or 79 C161 8 speed.  

Absolute powerhouse of a worker. 

Excellent.

The model number suggests it’s a 1978-1979 C-121, but with a Kohler 16 swap.

If I'm reading the tag correctly

 

1979 C-121 8-Speed model 91-12K802
 

8829 - Build date 1979 9033 February 02 Friday

I bet this is what it was originally:

 91-12K802 1979 C Series Garden Tractor C-121 8-Speed Kohler K301AS-47648D 12 Wheel Horse 103916

        I got up at 7:00 am and found @ebinmaine had dropped a question for me two hours earlier,   Guess BBT was already cracking the whip to get some work out of him.

You guys must be sleepy this morning! I spy a red kohler sitting on the floor in front of the tractor.

  @Shawn tyler Very nice condition C Series. is that by any chance the original  k301 12 HP Kohler that came with the tractor? 

Post a picture of the model/serial number tag.

Looks like the key switch is hanging by the engine.

If you go to the "Manuals" section here and put in you model number the WH manual for you tractor will come up. 

There will also be a color coded wiring diagram.  

Then in the manual section you can go to the"Kohler" section and down load a Kohler Manual

The engine on the floor is for my 1964 jacobsen 1000 it's a 10hp kohler
