the showman 4,074 #14 Posted January 30, 2015 Just an update, the first photo is a 1995 268 H , 16 hp kohler twin with a missing carb, the C160 is 1977 with a broken drive belt which I have a replacement, just needs putting back together, and the Lawn Ranger has a build plate that I cant read the number but was built at SouthBend 1 diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #15 Posted January 31, 2015 I need to buy some Wheel Horses before you get them all Chris Some nice finds there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #16 Posted February 20, 2015 Over the last few weeks I've been looking at the C160, when I collected it, it had been taken apart and came with the bits (ha-ha) having got it in the shed on the bench first thing was a snapped brake pedal, next was the wrong drive belt and a missing return spring and a few bolts and washers missing. The solenoid was laying in the battery tray ??. It's now got the right drive belt and return spring o/s covers and footrest fitted, solenoid fitted and battery cable made, brake pedal welded up and fitted along with footrest and rear fender. It's now up and running on jack stands and working well. Next job is to get it outside and power wash it off and road test. Here's a few photos (Norm) for your enjoyment 3 pmackellow, nigel and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #21 Posted February 21, 2015 didn't realise the pedal was broken there! thats a different place to usual . I don't remember ever having one with a broken pedal before They must of been really panicking when they hit the brake pedal!! . Don't know why they call it a brake pedal, it's more like a neutral pedal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger 373 #22 Posted February 21, 2015 . I don't remember ever having one with a broken pedal before . Don't know why they call it a brake pedal, it's more like a neutral pedal Probably called a 'brake' pedal because it 'breaks' 1 Charlie Smith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #23 Posted March 20, 2015 The C160 is all up and running now so I got it out of the workshop and had a drive round, I have to say its a bit strange to drive and will take a bit of prattice to get the hang of it 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
