DEMO812 19 #30 Posted March 25 (edited) Would a quadrant p/n 106392 be the same as a 106392-01? Saves me 20 bucks on ebay if so.. other wise I will play it safe and go with the other one... Edited March 25 by DEMO812 Never mind! Got it ordered! Thanks blistered! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take the four screws holding the tunnel cover on and see if there is a little pointer there that needs high lighting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,458 #32 Posted March 25 Demo: That should serve you well. Just take your time with it. Look at all the manuals for it when you can. And ask questions before action. Enjoy the ride. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blasterdad 2,692 #34 Posted March 26 (edited) 1-0440 1973 Lawn & Garden Tractor 16 Hp Automatic Kohler K341S-71113A 16 Sundstrand 90-2046 It seems you have a bit of a Frankentractor going on. According to the model number it's a '73 "no name" automatic, not a C-160.... But here's where it gets interesting, it has the correct sticker on the steering tower, but the sticker on the hood is wrong for both tractors. The '73 also had the motion control lever in the center of the tunnel below the steering wheel, but yours has the motion control lever high up on the right side like a C-160, but the C-160 wasn't made until 1974. My best guess is it is a C-160 that a PO replaced the tower with a 73, they are known to crack where they bolt to the frame. I have a C-160 someone put a 1971 Bronco tower on it, so it's not uncommon. The '73 no name & the C-160 are pretty much the same tractor, just different motion lever locations. Both are great tractors but I prefer the C-160's motion lever location like yours. The spec number on the engine & the model tag on the transmission might help to narrow it down to what it actually is...

WHGuy413 2,683 #36 Posted March 27 Welcome to the family. It’s an addiction for sure. They are like chips you can’t just have one. Great looking tractor. You can get some adjustment on your deck height. That 16hp will have plenty of power for most everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL. Here's the manual for a '74 C-160 Thanks for the manuals I really appreciate it! Thanks for the advice about the seat... I was wondering if it was original.. I take it they are hard to find? Maybe I put a cover on it or put it on a shelf for a few years... 😆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of us actually do take them off & put a "worker" seat on them for chore duty & save the good one for shows. Those old two piece original seats are almost impossible to find in that good of shape, & if you do find one odds are they'll know that too, & want a very pretty penny for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you happen to have a P/N or know a good place to look for one? If not I'll look through the manual to see if I can find it...

Lowell has them, (Wheel Horse Parts & More) in the vendors section. I buy the eye bolt & chain at Tractor supply. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/104524-toro-wheel-horse-lift-trunnion/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
