KeithB 6 #1 Posted October 13, 2009 Got the frame cleaned up , primed and painted This tractor will be from at least 3 different tractors. The frame and tin work is a C-160 eight speed, the trans is 8 speed 8 pinion from a C-81, the motor is a 12 HP Kohler from a C-120 Auto. The C-160 tranny has to be taken apart and get new seals at some time, it will be a spare or go in another tractor. Next i gotta get the hood stand cleaned up and painted. Then i can start assembly. Maybe i should name it Frankenstein I have the C-120 auto frame all cleaned up it, will be going under a B-80 eight speed that someone screwed up the holes where the motor bolts down. It to will also be a GT puller. The C120 and B80 frames are the same part number. One will be a stock 12HP class and the other stock 18 or 20 HP class. The frame pic is not to good, but the paint came out pretty good for a rattle can: Trans and new hitch i bought off EBay, the bolts need trimming. Will be welding 4 tabs to top and bottom of hitch to bolt wheelie bars too The tires are 26x12-12 on 13" wide wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeithB 6 #3 Posted October 15, 2009 More assembly today. I think the foot rests and battery box will be black. Next will be painting the motor black, and installing it so i can work on the wiring, will be pretty basic wiring being a puller. For some reason, maybe lighting the the pics a re bit fuzzy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeithB 6 #8 Posted October 20, 2009 Wiring is done, charging system works good, stuck a gas tank in, got it running and drove it around the yard a bit Took me a while to figure out the clutch won't completely release without the belt cover on. Found out i need to space the rear fender up off the big tires and the belt cover needs painting. Little by little. Took battery box out to paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeithB 6 #9 Posted October 20, 2009 Also started on the B80 eight speed project, going on a C120 Hydro frame. The B80 frame was a bit rough and the motor mounting holes were messed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
