Ran amazing all winter . Was going to cut the grass short before tilling and boom no more movement . Had to lift it on forks to get it to the garage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jordenjames needs to give us some good pictures of all the gears and the indside of the trans cases...especially where that shaft goes. I would also like to have pictures of that plate that shows the model numbers. He said it was a 1974, but his numbers aren't matching up. I am thinking it is a 16 hp 1-0380 "C-160" with a #5091 trans. 8 speed with 1 1/8" axles and an 8 pinion differential. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping to find someone who can reproduce them. How does the transmission case look where the gear pin passes through? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,526 #34 Posted August 19 The "9" was throwing me. Your model number is 1-0380. The "9" is your spec number...and I believe you take the 9 subtract 5 from it and you get "4" which means 1974 (the year of your horse). Your transmission is the Wheel Horse #5091 with 1 1/8" axles and an 8 pinion differential. The horse is a C-160. (16 hp) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordanjames 8 #35 Posted September 1 I've found most of the parts but I'm looking for the high low shifter and bolt assembly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jordanjames 8 #39 Posted September 4 My question is what's the year range for compatible transmisions. I'm going to see one tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 54,239 #40 Posted September 4 Any Wheel Horse eight speed transaxle will bolt up to your frame, the brake linkage configuration changed in about 1969, @stevasaurus will know the year. Axle sizes are another consideration if you are using your hubs on the replacement unit. Take a picture of the brake band mounting on your transaxle with you to compare it to the one you plan to buy to be sure they are the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,526 #41 Posted September 4 The #5091 trans was used from 1973 to 1976 if you want the same trans. Any 8 speed should bolt right in, but check axle diameter in the newer ones...they came with both 1" and 1 1/8" axles. I'm not sure if the linkage is the same in the newer ones.
