SC/397 33 #1 Posted April 3, 2020 Hello Everyone! I am a American Motors car collector and had been looking for a Wheel Horse Tractor for a number of years to add to the collection. I found a 1974 C-160 a couple of years ago on my way to work and couldn't pass it up. It is functional and came with a mower deck and snow blade. This is my first Wheel Horse so I am looking forward to learning all kinds of stuff on this site! In addition to the AMC cars, I also have a small collection of Willys products. Included in the Willys theme, is a Empire Tractor which was built with the Willys drive train. Eventually.... I would like to take my Toy Tractors to some of the tractor shows and our local Tractor Cruise in. I live near a small town that is two blocks long in the middle of farm land and yes, we actually have a Tractor Cruise in in our down town. LOL! 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razorback 1,035 #2 Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Hi, SC/397, welcome! You have the same model and year Wheelhorse that I have. I really love it! Hopefully you can post some pics soon? https://tractorfanatics.com/attachments/img_0763-jpg.9612/ I learned to drive in a 1969 Rambler!

oliver2-44 9,743 #3 Posted April 3, 2020 I also have the same model and year tractor. It's quite a workhorse. Do the basic maintence on it and it will last a lifetime or more. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,455 #4 Posted April 3, 2020 And I too have a 74 C-160. Mine is the Cinnamon Horse. You've found a great place for all your Wheelhorse info, parts, knowledge and may even make a friend or 2. Or a lot. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
