WH nut 553 #2 Posted May 16, 2013 Nice find, Now you need to find a tractor to build with all the spare parts. Those gears for the gear drive decks are getting hard to come by 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lars 526 #9 Posted May 17, 2013 Our Viking finds another Treasure . . . nice score! Can you share any details, where you found it, what they used it for, how far, cost . . . . looks like it was made in Belgium, well it came up for sale on Finn.no and it din't say what it was so ill send the po a mail.. and asked him what it the decal on it said. he replyed to me that it was a C-160 and he also had some parts for it, and he was asking $770 for it.. i said to him that is to much!! so i said how much are you selling it for.. he said 650!! hmm ok i told him ill give you 600 buks for it.. he said ok... lol... i know you guys think that is to much.. but that is cheap to be over here.. so ill went to look at it and.. Well it was in worse shape then he told me.. it missing choke and throttel cabels. but i found them around whit the parts.. other parts that are gone are gastank,voltageregulator, etc etc.. and it has no spark atm...other then that it seems like a good tractor.. and it was commune that bought it new in 75 they bought 10 horses back then and they had a few horses before that to.. and they was in use to around 2002.. then they bought new tractors.. some of the ppl that worked there took care of some of them..rest of them went to a junkyard.. that guy also told me it was snowblades,snowblower etc etc for them to. But he was not sure where the other stuff went, so he told me he would help me and try find out about that.. Lars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevbo 80 #10 Posted May 17, 2013 Congrats! I have been impressed with my 14HP Kohler and I am sure you will be pleased. (Deep down I still want to find me a 16HP Kohler too ) Looks like you have a nice amount of room in that garage! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 761 #15 Posted May 17, 2013 Well done Lars, At least they put a Kohler in it even if it's only 14hp. Deck look's good. If it all runs ok , then you did not pay too much for it at all. The Parts were a BIG Bonus. If you need any parts for it, I'm sure we can help to locate some here in UK/Europe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
