C160 Questions

[She's a Newbie 3]

I bought a C-160 beautifully restored but I plan on using it for a dependable mower.  The deck is totally shot.  I have a 42" deck that is currently on a 310-8.  Will it fit on my C-160? 

 

Also, do most of you members use a lawn mower jack to work on your wheel horses?  If so, which one would you recommend?  Thanks you!

to the Yes, the 42" deck will fit on the C-160.       It may require a different length drive belt

One of the great things about Wheel Horse is interchangeability. The deck from you 310 will fit the C-160 and uses the same drive belt it used on the 310.

I have an automotive engine hoist that does a great job of lifting the front end of a . Perhaps others have some other device they use.

I'm using a 48" 70's deck on my 2005 and the 2005 42" deck is on my 76. Here's the lift I use after every mowing. Harbor Freight special.

 The 300# capacity is plenty for lifting the front up.
