ebinmaine 69,729 #1 Posted April 15, 2024 A big thanks to @PWL216 for bringing this to me. This'll be a future project for the BBT and me. The numbers show it to be a 1974. The engine has been replaced. Unfortunately the serial/spec number isn't legible. The engine appears to be blue...ish (?) 6 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cinnamon Horse C160-8 is a combination of two. So this one's technically #8. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,187 #4 Posted April 15, 2024 Blue was often a generic engine not made for a specific customer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you enlarge the picture and look at the how the PTO side of the engine block is machined you'll see a raised round area. Congratulations on this score! Does it run? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 7,886 #7 Posted April 15, 2024 cough cough cough.......you know that is a "slush box machine"? getting soft or the price must have been right! I ran a 12 hp green replacement engine on a hydro for 20 years. no issues I figure it is still running and mowing somewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remembered gray and black as "Counter engine" colors. Now that you mention it, the K582 Twin I have is a similar shade of blue underneath. 2 hours ago, Bill D said: Definitely not a Wheel Horse spec engine. True. The oil dipstick is also at an odd angle. 2 hours ago, Bill D said: If you enlarge the picture and look at the how the PTO side of the engine block is machined you'll see a raised round area. Congratulations on this score! Does it run? Not yet. The wiring was "repaired" by a PO and isn't quite all there. 43 minutes ago, JoeM said: cough cough cough.......you know that is a "slush box machine"? getting soft or the price must have been right! @PWL216 Did a good deed by buying and saving a collection from someone. He passed a another good deed on to me. As the second Hydro here I have a couple ideas. I thought is to have a powered rear lift specifically for gardening work. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,590 #9 Posted April 15, 2024 (edited) Eric looks like you have another fine worker there. It should be a good addition to the fleet of workers you have. Edited April 15, 2024 by Retired Wrencher 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
