GuffdaStuff 4 #1 Posted March 1, 2013 so as i said before i had been looking at a c160 well i finally made it to dayton and picked her up! upon initial inspection it looked pretty good no rust what soever everything is solid and square but im gonna need some parts. i plan on rewiring the whole thing because its been scabbed together so many times that im gonna be much better off just starting over. id like to get a new electrical connector that goes on the back side of the switch and just re do it all....ive read on here that using marine wiring is the best option for redoin a horse like this...why? i was plannin on shrink wrapping the entire harness just for added protection also. ive been searching everywhere for a new aftermarket harness but i dont think they exist. i also noticed that the carburetor is cracked right where it bolts to the head of the engine so ill need to buy a brand new carb or a used one if i can find it. by the way the engine did turn out to be the k341. the rod that runs from the clutch pedal to the rear end is gone and the little lever that it hooks to is broken so ill need the lever and the clutch rod here is the full list of parts i need: clutch rod clutch rod lever rear hitch and tach a matic carburetor maybe a new coil new throttle cable and choke cable battery spark plug wire maybe new starter.....solenoid not engaging im gonna try and free it up though if anyone lives in northwest ohio or within two hours and just so happen to have a bone yard id love to come ravage it lol! im also plannin on a repaint!! this is gonna be my pride and joy also looking for rototiller blade wheel weights and chains 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,518 #2 Posted March 1, 2013 Good luck with your new Horse! Try partstree.com for parts. Stens also has ignition switches and the electrical plug that goes with it. Not expensive. Shrink wrap or shrink tubing? I always use shrink tubing. Recently I saw solderless connectors at Home Cheapo that were shrinkable after crimping. Looked nice, I might try some.

Martin 2,131 #5 Posted March 1, 2013 if you plan on rewiring the tractor, this might be of interest..... bulk marine wiring is popular because of its tinned inner and better insulation. corrosion properties are better than your average parts store stuff. just makes a nicer harness come together. i also shrink tube crimp connections. the harnesses can be either wrapped with insulation tape or shrink tube, shrink tube is nicer and 'neater' but the tape is easier to add extra circuits in if ever you need to later on.
