mrc 810 #1 Posted June 3, 2018 hi men, a few years ago i helped a co-worker acquire a C160 with a tiller. i did my best to rig a hardware store system to lift the tiller. any way my co-worker reported that the tiller was leaking. i picked the tractor up and when i got it home i realized this old tractor needed some additional maint. both axle seals were leaking. so i pulled the hubs and replace those. the brake band seal was leaking so i replaced that. oil change, air filter and fuel filter for the kohler. grease all the zerks. then i replaced the tiller seals. next, i installed one of lowells rear rockshaft kits. WOW! fits perfectly. the tiller now has plenty of travel to till deep. yet, still when fully raised up it has plenty of ground clearance for traveling back to the garage. the quality of the hardware in his kit is first class. not exactly cheap price but, you get what you pay for in this life. hope this helps you guys mike in mass. 12 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,277 #5 Posted June 4, 2018 Agreed. I'm fairly new to this wheelhorse world. Couple years now. I've been dealing with my local small engine and equipment repair guy for 15 years or more and he's always been very good to me. I've tried going through Lowell a couple times and have been extremely impressed. He's a great guy on the phone to talk to and very knowledgeable and very helpful. I had already ordered axle seals from my local guy and then I ordered some from Lowell. The ones I ordered from Lowell were a few dollars more but I tried them anyway. When they came in, they were of a much much higher quality than the stuff that I had been seeing in the past. I will absolutely keep ordering from Lowell and I would advise anybody who ever asked me to do the same thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
