So you fill the fire extinguisher with fluid have an air source connected to the fill port cut the end off of the hose and place a locking fill chuck and viola you have pressurized fluid filler. Needs to be a water extinguisher. I have access to old extinguishers being the in volunteer fire service and they work great for filling transfer cases and differentials Edited March 11, 2023 by Monstrosity 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GAJoe 844 #18565 Posted March 12, 2023 The C-160 rides again! I finished getting the C-160 back together today. Had a few challenges that took a while. Getting the roll pin back in the high/low range shifter and getting the dog point set screw back in after the tranny was back under it. Tried using one hand for too long. It was too big and getting in the way. I was able to hold the shifter between palms and use both index fingers to run the set screw in. Then the lock nut. I want to thank all of my new friends for all of your help. I ran it through all the gears successfully. Someone could have cautioned me hold on tight when starting off in third gear in high range. I'm nearly 200 lbs and the front tires came off the ground. 2 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you fixed it up and kept it after you had first had a slight inclination to sell… Glad the guys on here helped persuade you to wrench on it and keep it. Hope you spend many hours riding and working it ! Edited March 12, 2023 by Horse Newbie 5 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GAJoe 844 #18571 Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) The rain let up long enough that I had to see how the (bought separately and rebuilt) mower deck and new belt would fit. I'm waiting until after my first grass cutting to see how the belts do before putting the pully guards back on. I got the new belt threaded through the Mule with a little YouTube help. I gave it a spin and all is smooth and quiet as @peter lena said it would be. I'll get the new cone on it from @ebinmaine so that I don't have to worry about the bearing coming out and be cutting grass next weekend.

Handy Don 12,233 #18573 Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Mounted the 1-¼” riser onto the 854. Seat sides no longer touch the fenders when I lean (yay!). I’ll do a fender repaint when the weather warms up. Here the seat is centered over the rearward spring hole. The front (left) bolt only holds the riser to the spring while the rear (right) bolt holds the seat, riser, and spring. Rotating the riser 180º centers the seat over the forward spring hole, moving the seat 2” forward while keeping the rise. Seat forward position (square hole above front spring hole) Seat rearward position (square hole above rear spring hole) Edited March 13, 2023 by Handy Don 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spitfire 176 #18574 Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) I got rid of the square bosch lights, sorry guys. What size round lamp fits this model? Or do i set side lamps? This one needs some tinkering the old engine, everything works only 40 years of hard work is starting to show.
