AMC RULES 37,102 #1 Posted October 19, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB14_vyxSuE&feature=plcp This $200 C/L, C-160 powerhouse hopped on for a faassst ride home with me today. Included the weights, and a 48" deck. Did I say...runs like a champ too? Needless to say...I couldn't be happier. Finally...my first big block Kohler. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowtiebutler956 649 #7 Posted October 20, 2012 Thats AWESOME Craig!! You now own my dream Horse, and for $200? Congratulations, and my day will come. So, are you going to put a stack on that beast, so we can really hear that Thumper, Thump! Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,102 #8 Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks guys...wondering, Is the grill supposed to be blacked out on the '75 models? Actually, I am kinda suprised how quiet it seems to be Matt, looks like the stock muffler has had a few patches over the years...wonder if that has something to do with it? :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whc160 74 #9 Posted October 20, 2012 :woohoo: Congrats Craig ! The grill should be painted red. The 160's came painted all red, but for the rims. All four of mine are painted red & so is Dad's. But I do paint the screens on the flywheels of mine black. It is just the way I like it. You sure got a sweet deal. My 76 is the one I paid the least for $75. But it needed four new tires, rims painted, and a trans plate welded in. But it ran like a top when I got it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,134 #14 Posted October 20, 2012 That is a wicked good deal. Ya don't see too many C-16O 8 SPEEDS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 649 #15 Posted October 20, 2012 With the engine tag...can we confirm this is a '75 model? I'm sure there is a way to do that Craig, but you can confirm its year with the tractors id tag on the tower, below the choke control, and gas tank. I'm pretty sure I can see it in one of your pics. Just use the Toro link listed here at RedSquare. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,102 #16 Posted October 20, 2012 That is a wicked good deal. Ya don't see too many C-16O 8 SPEEDS. Those creeper gears sure are a trip Ken...quite the little torque monsters they are. I stripped the turf off the bank of the front lawn...playing with it in the rain today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whc160 74 #17 Posted October 20, 2012 The 74 & 75 had the flip up rear fender pan, hood ornament, and no rockshaft for the rear lift. The 76 & 77 had the solid mount rear fender pan, no hood ornament, & used a rockshaft for the rear lift. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
312Hydro 474 #18 Posted October 20, 2012 Wow, great score! It even has rear wheel weights :handgestures-thumbupright: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,102 #19 Posted October 20, 2012 OK, so '74 or 5 it is... means it's an early AMC then. I figured those weights alone might see $200 on a good day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,134 #20 Posted October 20, 2012 So Craig, where are you gonna keep this one? The stall must be gettin tight. :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,968 #21 Posted October 20, 2012 Congragulations Craig!!! I am very happy for you. The K-341 engine is a torque monster for its size. I have one freshly rebuilt in a IH Cub Cadet 1650. I like it so much, that I'm beginning to look for a K-341 powered Wheel Horse such as the one you are showing us here. I hope the weather is good for you to get lots of seat time on it this weekend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
