C-160 Auto I'm not very familiar with the C-160, but I really don't think there is suppose to be a spring there at all. Someone more familiar with it is going to have to chime in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shynon 7,459 #10665 Posted April 20, 2021 Got my new to me original 401 out for a spin and a few pictures. Put a new fuel bowl on,diamond treads and fairbanks recoil. Runs like a top no smoke or unusual noise. 9 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Honey, I'm going to go pick up a rack to organize the garage like you always are saying I should do. Be back in a couple hours" LOL. To be honest it was semi-inspired by "The Big Tool Rack" which is made for a 3 point hitch. If money was no object I'd have a 25hp diesel subcompact and one of those racks, but the tractor is $18k and the rack is $1800. I get along pretty well with my pair of 312-8's 😁 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gregor 4,846 #10670 Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) The spring on my 876 connects to a bolt on one end, and the triangle shaped piece on the other end. If someone removed the bolt, there is nothing to connect it to.I added the locknut BTW. Edited April 20, 2021 by Gregor 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krystolo 504 #10673 Posted April 21, 2021 I cleaned up the wheels that @pullstart sent. Boy, are they pretty! Just waiting for the new rear tires to come in so I can take the bundle to the tire shop to be mounted. Rosie's gonna have new kicks! Assessed the plow and ordered some parts to get the pivot handle working properly. Took another look at that tiny stack, and it is round at the base. Need to locate some exhaust pipe and extend that baby, so I can breathe the fresh country air while I drive my tractor in the sunshine. 11 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will note that Gregors 876 has a different motion control no big tension spring on the cross shaft. You have less room to work. It is doable with some very long needle nose pliers plenty of cursing and swearing..good luck 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
