Stingingbee 10 #1 Posted January 1, 2022 Trying to find what year my C-160 is, so i can purchase the correct drive belt. This site seems to be the best one i have found. I have searched the data. My numbers don't match some that i have looked at. This is all i have. Tag under steering ID# 01-16KS01-1737. Then this number is under ID# 9203 All i have on the engine # is the serial# 2603205613 I would like to know what year it is. Which drive belt to get. Thanks for any help. Hope i did this right. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi--Welcome--I have a 1976 C160 Automatic---I think there was also one made in 1975 I don't know if any more years were built----I will see if I can find some info on your numbers--I'm sure there are someone that will chime in. ---IS IT an automatic or floor shift?????

squonk 41,314 #4 Posted January 1, 2022 I'm showing that as a C-165 1980 Belt is a Napa # 5L840W Toro # 7478 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stingingbee 10 #5 Posted January 1, 2022 It has the long handle that says ( forward and reverse with neutral). And it says on the side of hood C-160 Automatic Drive. (Note: I also have a 1984 Model that is the 8 speed trans. Engine will need to be bored on it tho. Ring broke and scoured the cylinder wall.) I will try to figure out how to get pics off of my phone and onto this site. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J854D 137 #6 Posted January 1, 2022 I’m wondering if your Wheelhorse has a replacement/newer Kohler engine on it because the serial number for your engine, 2603205613, shows it to have been built February 1, 1996. Could also be that just the blower housing (if that is where the serial number tag is) was used off of a newer engine. -JD- 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stingingbee 10 #10 Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Well Gentlemen with all of this info that you all have given me. It looks like my horse may be a 1980 model. Because the 16KS01-1737 9203 numbers do match a 1980 model. And possibly the hood may have been changed and the engine cover may have also been changed. Dang looks like i have a mixed up horse. So should i be looking for a drive belt for a 1980 model tractor then? And a small note: The engine has been painted blue some time in the past. Possibly indicating someone may have been into it .

rjg854 11,474 #11 Posted January 2, 2022 I'm thinking somewhere along the line someone might have swapped the engine out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,314 #12 Posted January 2, 2022 If you have a Tractor Supply near you, go buy a 5L830, 5L840, and a 5L850 belt. Return the two that don't fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stingingbee 10 #13 Posted January 2, 2022 Yes you may be right. Engine may have been changed. I know nothing about its past life. And yes there is a Tractor Supply near me. I will check into those belts. Thanks to everyone for your input. I need all the help i can get. I will let you all know if this fixes my belt issue. After that i may need help about the deck. It will not go down. Don't know if cylinder is stuck or the hydraulic valve may be stuck. Again thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stingingbee 10 #14 Posted January 5, 2022 Ok guys. I have gotten the drive belt from NAPA and it fits great. Thanks for everyone's help.

squonk 41,314 #15 Posted January 5, 2022 Disconnect the PTO arm that's held on with a spring pin. Swing hoop to the rear. PTO pulleys slide off.

Now how do i remove the 2 pulley's that are mounted above front axle that is at an angle that goes to the deck drive. Bearing are shot. That is known as the "Mule Drive". Turn the knob on the front in a clockwise direction to remove the tension from the belt. There is a 3/4" nut (need a 1 1/8" wrench) that holds the cover on and once the cover is removed the two pulleys and the spacers will slide off. Be sure to put the spacers back in the same order when the replacement pulleys are installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
