cocacolafreak 13 #5 Posted August 5, 2012 Yea its alright. I still use it alot so im not making it super nice. but it should still look pretty good. Theres alot of dents on the rear fenders. Can you still buy parts for these damn things? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,102 #6 Posted August 5, 2012 Depends on what you're looking for...try an Ebay search for Wheelhorse 1267, or place a want ad for the parts you need in the classified section here on :rs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,554 #7 Posted August 5, 2012 Looks very good. They aren't the cheapest but you can get some of the hard to find things on partstree.com. ~Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cocacolafreak 13 #10 Posted August 5, 2012 its got the engine out of a C-161. The 12hp engine needs the crank ground and a new connecting rod. Since the C-161 seen better days, I took the good running engine and put it on this one. The engine wouldnt just bolt to the frame because of the deep oil pan, so i had to drill a few holes and put all this other crap on. Its a little smoother with the rubber engine mounts. I know its not original, but it does the job for now. and thanks everyone! I'll update the photos as I make more progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocacolafreak 13 #11 Posted August 5, 2012 oh...I was looking for the cable to raise and lower the rear hitch, a shifter boot, and the rubber engine mounts for a 1975 C 161. If anyone knows of a place to get any of these please let me know. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 993 #12 Posted August 6, 2012 i think most of the parts you want can be bought at the dealer,the iso mounts are from 1978-79,the 75,s were solid mount,at least all 3 of my c,s from 75 are,for part number for the iso mount use 81-16k801,go to www.partstree.com and you will find that they have a great site to get parts numbers and parts if you want to buy them from them,the shifter boot is easily obtained at the dealer,as is the cable and mounts,the mounts are not cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
