Guest 88vic #3 Posted July 11, 2020 Wheel Horses always make work into playtime. It's the only tractor brand that's capable of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 88vic #5 Posted July 11, 2020 I am a mechanic at a local dealership, I work on Simplicity, Husqvarna and Cub Cadet tractors. I am so disgusted with all of them, especially Simplicity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was using the 160 for plowing snow, I wanted to be able to move the blade and keep the left hand on the wheel. So I can operate the lever with a couple of fingers. There used to be a big mower scrapyard in the next village over and he had a C-160 hydro carcass in the pile so I cut the hydo lever off and cut the OE hydro lever and made what I think should have been there from the beginning. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not happy with the 60” deck, it bunches the grass up too much. Probably it just needs adjusted. So I only use to plow my 300 ft driveway.

JCM 9,130 #19 Posted July 11, 2020 Nothing like the sound of a twin Kohler and that big soft grip steering wheel. You will love those Twins when you get yours up and running in colossus Mr @ebinmaine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a Speedex frame and rear end, a Bonanza hood and grill, Borg Warner T-96 transmission, Alling-Landers gear reducer and a Briggs 8hp engine. I call it the " Speedanza " but it kinda looks like TOW MATER Edited July 11, 2020 by D_Mac 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
