rmaynard 15,508 #3 Posted April 21, 2010 Hello Woody and If I were closer to where that C-160 is located, I would be bidding on it too. It looks like a good choice. If you bid and are successful, RedSquare is where you will find anything you need to know about it. Good luck. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Save Old Iron 1,566 #6 Posted April 21, 2010 :omg: Realistically, I would expect that price to at least double before the auction is over. Its a good solid model of heritage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody426 0 #7 Posted April 21, 2010 Thanks for the welcome guys, I stopped and looked at it on my way home yesterday, good solid tractor, has been "messed with " a little, some hacking on the wires and so on but all in all sounds solid no smoke looks like a good start. Brakes do not work, that concerns me a little but should be no hill for a climber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Save Old Iron 1,566 #9 Posted April 21, 2010 Woody, brakes are a no brainer and the wiring can be easily redone as needed. keep an eye on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woody426 0 #18 Posted April 24, 2010 The 160 went for $935.00, having seen it in person and watched the guy trying to drive it with no brakes, it was too rich for my blood. Have a line on another one now toro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitten 134 #19 Posted April 24, 2010 Woody That is completely different from the C160 that you were looking at and at that price I would have to pass. The C160 that you were looking at is a Garden Tractor(GT) and thew second one is a lawn mower. There are all kinds of things you can do with a GT but you would be limited with the lawn mower. You are on the right path looking for a Wheel Horse and Im not sure what your needs are but I would hold off on the second one and find a heaver one. P.J.

I am just looking for a toy right now, lawn mower, garden tractor isnt really important right now. I have a restored 1953 Ford Golden Jubilee that I bush hog, disc and plow with. What I'm looking for now id something to finish mow around the farmhouse with. I have a 21/50 White that I use at my primary home, but I have a small farm that has been in the family for years that I maintain and carrying the White back and forth is getting old quick. The plan is pick up an older unit to restore and keep at the farm. i have spotted two more candidates this morning....... raider 10 and..... 1045 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
