oldblue1993 98 #1 Posted March 1, 2014 Me and my son picked this c160 up a few days ago to work on. I will admit shes ugly and a little rough, but its solid and is all there "sorry didn't think of picks till after we started on it" .Mechanically this thing is like driving a porche and everything works great, even has a "usable" 42 inch deck.We just have a long road on art work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brandonozz 168 #8 Posted March 1, 2014 Oh yea, she has hope. The only problem will be fighting my son to drive it. What a great tractor to start with. Let him do all the driving on this one and you can drive the next one you guys build. Well its kinda all there...that steering wheel looks to be at the 50% mark.... . But seriously you picked a great tractor to bring back into service! Mike.......... Ya know, I don't think that that custom steering wheel is needed on a "C" but I may have to do that on the "D"!

oldblue1993 98 #11 Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks guys, we will try to show her progress, I gave 300 for it delivered to the house "which wasn't bad in my book" The guy I got it from even gave us a spare steering wheel for it. The good thing is we really don't need it for anything other then a hobby so it wont be a rush job. The old 16 kohler looks like it wouldn't even run, but I am really impressed on how good it sounds.
