Mike e. 26 #31 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) @Alex175that's a nice machine and I plan to do some farming with mine once I get it up and running. And that is a nice disc I might try to find one right now I'd be happy with a turning plow Edited September 2, 2020 by Mike e. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,665 #32 Posted September 2, 2020 two rivets on one of my C-175 so there should at least be holes.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,779 #33 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Good point Paul look for the two holes, sometimes PO's take the tag off. Why I have no idea! 30 minutes ago, Mike e. said: might try to find one right now I'd be happy with a turning plow Both implements on my want list Mike. Do you have the three point hitch? Not sure if one could be put on a 175? Edited September 2, 2020 by WHX24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outside of my 2 inch receiver I didn't have any attachments for the 3 point hitch so I snagged them up. Still have to find a nice Cat 0 grader blade though, not too many of them in the Northeast that I can find. 28 minutes ago, Mike e. said: right now I'd be happy with a turning plow There's a lot of guys on here who use their Horses for plowing fields, you can find more than a few good posts on the forum about their escapades, it's cool stuff. 21 minutes ago, pfrederi said: two rivets on one of my C-175 so there should at least be holes.... That's a great photo of the tag, thank you for sharing that. Glad to know I wasn't crazy about the rivets too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,779 #35 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Check with these guys Alex this is where I got the receiver hitch you have. They don't say what cat they are for tho. https://www.palletforks.com/3-point/box-blades/titan-4-foot-box-blade-tractor-attachment/191414.html Edited September 2, 2020 by WHX24 link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnD 145 #36 Posted September 9, 2020 Hi all! This newbie also recently acquired an '83 C-175. How can I tell what type the Kohler twin-cylinder 17 HP engine I have (type 1 or type 2)? The motor serial number is 12158706 if that helps. I noticed the previous (son-in-law of the original!) owner has it slightly overfilled with oil (if the safe range on the dipstick is about 0.75", it's about 0.75" over that). Interestingly the hydrostatic transmission oil level is too high by the same amount. Is this poor maintenance or on purpose? I mainly got it to plow, and then tow a trailer up and down 7-10 degree grades in the summer. Is there any reason not to run 10W-30 in the engine all year long? I can't wait to dig through all these forums to learn a lot from all of you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnD 145 #37 Posted September 9, 2020 I just found the thread that says it is a 1982 motor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnD 145 #38 Posted September 9, 2020 Ah, and I just found the Kohler service manual that defines the type 1 and type 2 (Series II) engines. Tomorrow I'll see if that label is still on the engine. I also found the owner's manual that says oils other than 30W will leave deposits and not burn as cleanly. The fun begins! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many of us run straight 30 detergent above 32°, and 10w30 below 32°. All of our tractors on my property are older so I can't help you with yours so much but others will be along.
