That's odd......

The last three times I tried to access their site through that link, it took me to a "no longer there" page. B)

:horseplay: :banana: :horseplay:

I installed the tranny I bought on eBay from Joes Power and it worked great! The lift worked too!

I drove her around in the rain and boy does this go well. Only two problems though; the tow valve is so rusted that the slot for the screw driver crumbled into pieces when I tried to turn it. I have another one if I can ever get it out. Also the big 23x10.5x12 tires hit the outside of the tranny pump. I put the old tires back on and will look into some 23x8.5x12 tires soon.

But all in all I am happy. I'm glad I found this tranny...

Thanks guys!

SO what are you going to use this one for?

You may well be better off with the narrower tires if you will need traction.

Congrats on getting the beast going B)

TT, you've probably already resolved this, but if not, their actual URL is:

http://www.bjhydraulics.com/

I've had a few glitches in links (not usually on this site, though) lately - I think the internet is getting brain scrambled! :whistle:

Cheers!

Micah:

This is an interseting thread since I have a C160 auto also. I have a hydro lift that will not operate but that is another story. I see by the photos that the direction lever spring mechanism is dirty. I would suggest since it is apart you clean, check, and adjust it if needed. The tractor will drift front or backward if the spring tension is out of adjustment.

Oldiron - Yeah it was dirty. I did clean it up nice.

Charlie - I was lucky. I paid $100 plus shipping. Timing is everything, because I tried to bid on another one after that and it got up to $300!

Well I took the pump motor apart and what a mess. There was a retaining ring that was mangled and broken in pieces. The bearing was a mess too. The needle bearings look fine. The spring on the motor shaft was bent to heck too.

So I will try to find replacement parts and rebuild this. A quick look on rcpw showed NLA on the ball bearing (200187) and the spring (200210). Any ideas on where to find these?

get it running yet

Is the release valve closed? I'm pretty sure the C-161 is a Sundstrand equipped machine. Its behind your left foot (if you were sitting on the tractor) and under the rear fender. Did you install a new filter? If not is the original filter an official WH filter? There is a NAPA and a WIX filter that work as well but I dont know the #'s for them. Just because a filter fits does not mean its correct for your tractor.

Mike..........

the valve was the culprit but now the trans engages forward and goes backward so im assuming the set screws are the culprit on this one

I have a question on the C-160 tranny? Is there suposed to be a cover plate on the back where the triangle is with 3 threaded holes are? My Bronco 14 has a plate bolted on but my C-160 does not.
