indywheelhorsenut 62 #1 Posted December 4, 2018 A few weeks ago I posted asking for direction on my, (at the time) non-starting C-160 Auto. I got several great pieces of practical advice very quickly and followed through as advised. IT WORKED! Yes... it was the Ammeter ! At the same time, following up on member advice I found several wires (likely from 1974) that were ridiculously worn and subsequently repaired those along with tightening my ground (all items suggested by members). It fired up and next I realized my new ammeter was showing a negative pull when running. So, back I go to old Wheel Horse Forum posts where I found that either my rectifier was bad or poorly grounded. I followed all posted advice and now here I sit.. The 1974 C-160 is running perfectly thanks to Wheel Horse Forum Members! So a hearty, "Thank You" to all and just one more favor please... Could you guys/ladies conjur up some snow so I can go out and do my drive and several of my neighbors too?? Not to be pushy, but sooner is better than later! Thanks all.. you are much appreciated here in Indianapolis. 6 14 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB ELLISON 2,980 #12 Posted December 5, 2018 @indywheelhorsenut I also have a 1974 C160 that is my all time favorite of all my wheel horse's. I started with 2 now I have 6. This is a wiring diagram I redone to help me with my C 160. It makes it a little easier. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now six years later I continue to learn important information and have fun with friends on here every day. There is more common sense and practical experience on this forum than you’ll find at any help-line, hardware store, or machine shop. I joined four years ago when I inherited my fathers 1967 Wheel Horse. A year later I purchased my second Wheel Horse. My favorite request for help was when my newly acquired SK-486 would not start after just mowing the lawn. A chorus of forum members asked if I had remembered to disengaged the PTO clutch ... dah!!!!!!!!!! Of course they were right - as usual. But they did not make me feel like a clutz or newbie. Over the years I’ve gotten experience and even contributed a solution or two. This is an absolutely GREAT PLACE!
