Ok folks here we go again. Looking at a C-175 non running, needs battery, needs starter, what would anybody else offer someone for it. Asking $250, this would be a restoration project. Just looking for what everyone else would offer/pay.

KT17 Kohler engine

 

Do you know if this is a generation 1 or 2 ? If it is a gen 1, I would look for a different engine. Some may disagree but I don't think that a gen 1 is worth much more than scrap price. The

Gen 2's had an oil pump and were much better engines.

If this is the model you want it sounds like a good project starting point. If you are only buying it because the price is low you may be disappointed.

Don't know what generation it is. I'd rather have the hydro since this is just a gear. It's low priced and this would be my first project so I thought what the heck why not.

Buy it.You don't see them for sale very often.I've paid a lot more for a lot less.I've got 2 or 3 of them.Keep them full of oil.Try to keep off slanting hills for any length of time,and I'm sure if it's a series 1,it will be fine.Thought one on mine needed a starter when I got it.Rodents had gotten under the tins in the starter area and had everything jammed up.Disassembled , cleaned and lubed the starter and it's still OK.Good luck.Maybe offer 2 hundred??

No muffler, rear PTO belt guard and belt is missing. Check for the Pullies and bracket to drive the leaf sucker... should be behind the right rear wheel

      I have a WheelHorse C-175-8 with Rototiller attachment. Machine is in great mechanical shape, just needs paint.  Engine has been replaced with an identical Kohler KT-17 Series 1.  New Carb has been installed.  Battery, solenoid and cables have been replaced, starts great.  Installed new Tires and Tie Rods.  Installed radial bearings in spindles, so it steers beautifully.  Fuel line has been changed, as well as headlights.  Bew mule drive and belt fot tiller and functions as designed.  I'm sure there is other items that have been done.  Very reliable machine. $800/BRO 
      Selling all my WheelHorse items and moving South.  Have other tractors ad parts if interested.

      My grandfather is selling his C-175 and I want to buy it from him to restore it. He thinks he can get about $3000, but I think that is too high. It does come with a mower deck that is probably to rusty to use and a tiller. He says the tractor has lots of accessories on it. It will need some work as it hasn't ran in probably 15-20 years. I was thinking about $1000 but I am not sure. What do you think?

      I have redone most electrical components and fuel of this kohler K341. new spark plug, coil, starter, battery, rectifier, Carb, rewired, but i have not done points. it starts up great idols fine. when I turn the throttle up it rises up to a certain RPM then starts to seize and puff black smoke and the throttle on the the carburetor jumps. Someone had told me it is backfiring and said i need to adjust the my air to fuel ratio. started messing with the governing arm and spring and thought it was helping but hasn't fixed it. any suggestions?

      hello all I figured its time to show off the horses that I own and tell a little about my Frankenhorse. My first one was the C-175 auto with original series 1 kt17 bought it for $100 "running" , driving and mowing. Little did I know that it had a broken connecting rod on the front cylinder I found this out due to going over it and checking plugs found the front plug soaked in fuel, and when I removed the piston from the jug the crank had a narly nick in it that I could see. So after crawling all over this forum I found out that my best option was to go with wither a series 2 or swap to the classic k341. Later that week I found a guy not too far away from me selling one in good shape running with starter and carb that came off either a 416-8 or a c-160 and after some custom plates and stab link bushings as vibration pads tractor was operational again and the 42" SD deck that it wears got me hooked instantly on having a horse addiction. I used this tractor to cut 6 acres of land (4 separate properties) and it did it flawlessly could not get that motor to bog at all even in the heaviest grass i could get it into, in the pictures that are attached you'll find the tractor after the swap and right after a bath but other than that i haven't changed anything other than belts and fluids about a month after this project was completed I was looking to upgrade once again to the larger 500 series and i found a 520HC with only 648 hours on the clock it also had the 60" deck that was in fantastic shape stole the tractor for $800 then right before Christmas I found a 56" snow blade chains and blower with custom rear weight bracket all for $500. So to wrap this up I have the fever and I'm hoping to add a few more in the years to come gonna be cruising marketplace this spring. Looking to add to the herd.
