RedPrideNation 23 #1 Posted May 6, 2020 First off, this is an awesome site with tons of information so thanks to the mods and those that contribute. I am new to the Horse Nation so I will probably be reading until my eyes bleed now that I have found this place. I just purchased a 1975 C-160 Auto that is a roller (no motor but otherwise complete) and cant wait to be able to fire that jewel up. My FIL finally got me into these tractors since he has 4 himself with the work horse being a C-141 that he uses more than any of the others. Thanks in advance for the patience and knowledge to all the enthusiasts here to share. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedPrideNation 23 #12 Posted May 8, 2020 Thanks for the awesome welcome party and I will get some pics over the weekend to show the ole girl off a little. I will say that I am already finding out that a K341 powerplant is dang near impossible to find unless I want to get a second mortgage, lol. I suppose I may go a different direction for the powerplant but I really would like to put it back like it came from the factory as much as possible. I also picked up a K301 that needs to be gone through but I may end up sticking that one on my FIL's C-125 that is needing a new heart. And my FIL is not a member yet but I have already been talking the site up so he will be here soon. As for his herd, he has the C-141, C-125, 312-8, and the topper is a D-200 that has some weathering but is very solid. With all that said, good day and cheers to all 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedPrideNation 23 #13 Posted May 8, 2020 Ok an intervention will be needed soon if this addiction has taken hold. I just picked up another girl in a fairly complete C-141 that runs and moves. Needs some TLC but they all do really. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #15 Posted May 14, 2020 @RedPrideNation, you ought to let these fellas know why you're "RedPride" other than the ... Since Greenville is home of the Riverheads High School... I'll let you finish since I'm just a transplant from WV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedPrideNation 23 #16 Posted May 18, 2020 Well as @WVHillbilly520H has pointed out, I have two reasons for the RedPrideNation tagline with the local high school sports teams being referred to as the Red Pride and now with the dreaded Wheel Horse Infection taking a hold I have my second reason. As to the school, its just a small rural school with less than 500 students that are 4 time and defending single A state football champions. The other sports are supported just as much with a title here and there in baseball, soccer and such. On a more serious note, I have repowered the C160 with a 12HP Kohler (K301) temporarily while I search for a 16HP (K341) which is apparently like a sasquatch, lol. Tractor runs well and pushed the 48" blade very well. With that said, if anyone reading this has a behind the dash tank for the pre '75 models message me please. I have a workable solution but I am really wanting to put the correct type on it if possible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just get going building a bigger shed. For the tank check with A to Z Tractor in PA... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
