They mounted up nicely, but when I turned them on, they were noticeably yellow compared to the LEDs. So, I found some LED replacement bulbs and, VIOLA!

Quite possible they'll be too bright if it's snowing!

 

 

 

Niiiiice.  

 

They won't be too bright. You'll appreciate the nice bright white light even in the snow.

With all the parts I thought I would need in hand, I pulled the C-160’s fuel pump, slapped on a gasket and cover plate and proceeded to wire and plumb a Carbole electrificated do-me-good gas pump.  While I did succeed in getting it to run briefly, this plan did not quite go according to plan.  Ugh.  While I was hoping to change the oil and get on with getting her ready for Winter, that didn’t happen.  More on that later, perhaps with some details and pics so some of you fine folks can tell me where I fu@$&ed up.

It's usually dark by the time I get a chance to clear my driveway, so I decided to upgrade my lights. I started with replacing the stock 1156 bulbs with some bright LEDs. Big improvement.  

 

I like those lights and need to get some for my c-121. Any link for what they are?

It's amazing Bob, he removed the recoil starter due to the "paws" being worn. I'll look into that. Everything looks to be there including original Silverton tires, guards etc. I've been looking for quite some time!  It appears to be a 59 but I will let the RJ gurus chime in. Their still out there!

I futzed around some with the C-160’s new electric fuel supply, minimized the amount of 1/4” line, used a different filter, and finally got it to fire off with the help of some carb cleaner.  Won’t keep running though.  I think the carb doesn’t like the new flow rate or something.  But at least I know the pump works fine.  But it seems I can’t solve one problem on this thing without creating another!  So, I’m guessing the carb needs some TLC.  Or???

Do you use ethanol fuel?

When was the carb last rebuilt?

No ethanol.  Ever.  And so far, I’ve never had to rebuild it, either.  Until today!

 So, I was all set to change fuel lines & clean my tank & clean the Carburator & See if Ol' Cyclops ( my new to Moo-Wah 1980 C-145)  would talk to Moo-Wah at all.... & in the process of removin the fuel line fom between the carb & the fuel pump, I had a total DumbAzz Attack & broke the top of the fuel outlet on the fuel pump.... UGH!!!! I could just about chew on some #16 nails about now.... So Now I gotta get a Fuel pump.... Has anyone else done this here blunder? Are the kits on scAmazon any good? A-Z Tractor is not showing any fuel pumps for my engine... I consulted the Manual & according to what I am seeing for my Kohler Model; K321AS      Spec;  60362d       Serial;  9772075    After serial 7xxxxxx use Fuel pump    4755901<----- WRONG!! 

EDIT: Ok, so in my fury of trying to solve this problem, I was looking at the wrong Part & I removed the old pump to get the part number from that. So Now I thiMk I have the correct number however most of the various part numbers, the pumps  look nearly the same.... & they all come with a Snap ring. Where does that go? I did not see a snap ring on my engine ... Anyway I am going to call A-Z Tractor in the morning. 

 

Anybody have suggestions on which after market 1 to get or do I spring for the $105 choice on fleabay? or does somebody here have 1 or know of  of someone who mayhave it for a better price?  On top of all that my crapsman tractor decides to drop the fuel solenoid today & I really do Not want to throw anymore time or money at that thing as I would much rather get my wheel Horses going....  Calling it a day as Tomorrow is another day.... enjoy the pictures..... Any input will be appreciated

Always CALL Lincoln. Always

 

He's as busy as one can get most of the year. He doesn't have time to keep his site updated to live inventory. 

 

I stopped using his website for the most part years ago.
