Bens vintage tractors 1,542 #1 Posted September 21, 2021 So I bought this c160 recently and a c160 has been on my bucket list of tractors for a while. Well it runs but the balance gear sounds like it’s about to come apart. So I’m going to swap this k341 out of a parts tractor into my c160 and then restore it. I will post updates as I go along. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 12,087 #5 Posted September 21, 2021 You guys and all these 16hp Kohlers are annoying. They are getting pretty scarce these days, and I don't have one! 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may still try and remove the balance gears before swapping engines but we will see how much time I have in the coming weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
