I have finally finished refurbishing my C 160 Automatic and mowing deck.  The paintwork is not up to show standard but it shouldn't rust and it is intended to be a 'working tractor'.
IU am no engineer and the whole project has bee a steep learning curve for me, having never sprayed or completely dismantled a machine before.  If I ever attempt another it should be like shelling peas as I
think I must have already encountered 90% of potential problems. 
I'm still working on the photography/uploading - the last photo should be the first.

I saw this at a small steam/vintage event yesterday and thought it may be of interest.
 

Copies laminated and now in place...
 

Hi Richard,
I just wondered if you had ever tried deox-c on small rusted parts like the silencer/muffler.  I've found it is brilliant for converting rust even inside inaccessible parts and interior seams.

Very happy with my results two firsts for my ploughing and my finish

Some pics of horses ploughing my Gutbrod 1032 ploughing and Irikah my new dog enjoying the fun

Its a great machine in lovely condition.

For some reason, I kind of like that. Maybe the way the plough reverses and the head lights.

Richard this was really informative and I look forward to seeing the completion of your miracle restoration!

Hi all on Saturday my old Kinkade Tractor model L came out of Hibernation for the shows in 2019,  Now has the tool frame fitted an some tools,  a clean of the points and some new fuel was all that was needed to return it to running order hope you like it .   

Hi all this was at the last match of the year I did well 1st for my ploughing first for my finish I was very pleased Merry Christmas and a happy new year

I confess I did not check Ray's part number against the parts list, I just noted the lack of description to identify it.
Yes, Wristpin's number 505 (BS46 system) directly crosses to my 'hunch' number 6 on the (US) Chart I posted.
 
Here is a handy size chart that covers DN6888 metric and BS46 imperial comparisons. It is a link to a UK company, as I was unsure if I am allowed to put a company's document in the the Files section here. You can download your own copy though.

Another excellent restoration!  Not only are there few people now who could make a quality item, there are even fewer who could repair one!

More photos...
