160 ?'s

The fuel line (s) is listed on the AGCOpartsbook web page so assume it is still available.  The rubber lines are the returns off the injectors and for a temp fix could use fuel hose and clamps to get it running.  I had a 160 and most of the rubber fuel lines had cracked from age and were seeping fuel.

As far as the fenders, those and the hood were borrowed from 170 tractor. The black stripe would indicate it’s a 160.

It also appears to not have the correct radiator, it looks way to small, and is sitting on a piece of square tubing.  If this isn't correct, I'm guessing a replacement is tough to get without having one built?   

If you need a radiator check with Sandy Lake, that tractor had a good radiator but not sure if it’s still available. The 2 clutches I replaced was the main clutch and the pto clutch while I had the tractor split in half.

The entire 160 series itself are getting to be rare, with slightly less than 5,600 built from 1970-1975 there are probably not that many good ones left. I have never seen a basic One-Sixty, 160. I would say that far fewer of them were built simply because of the need of the extra features required by farmers. Having a hi/low transmission, rear remotes, spin out wheels, adjustable front end to name a few are important features farmers needed.
As far as the 3point, depending on the year it was built, there are filters in the hydraulic system that may need to be cleaned, fluid level needs to be full, system free of air or the system will not work. I had that issue after I did the rebuild. Air in the system prevented it from working at all. On my 160, I simply placed a hydraulic fitting in a hydraulic outlet with a short hose on it to reach into a 5 gal bucket. Operate the hydraulic lever back and forth until a solid stream of oil shoots into the bucket. Move to the next outlet and repeat. As long as your system has no leaks and isn’t sucking air anywhere the lift arms should now operate. Since the one that you are looking at has no remotes check the suction tube for bad seals or gaskets. There is a rubber coupling on the suction tube near where the tractor would be split that needs to be checked for cracks or the clamps not tightened down. It would be a good idea to replace it due to its age. That is a common place for it to suck air.
It would be a good idea to clean the fuel tank if it’s been sitting for a long period of time and replace the fuel filter. It is smoking for a reason, they are a clean running tractor. Could be a number of things causing it.

As far as when it was built, I didn't see any serial number info in Norm's book.  This serial number starts with 075.

There is another filter/screen to the right of the seat. 4 bolts hold it in place. Be careful removing this as it is one of the parts that I think is NLA. Clean it carefully, if its dirty, it is a source of hydraulic issues. It really does a good job of catching debris. The screen is plastic so just be gentle with it.

Thanks again AC720man, and thanks steve(ill) for the link to that post.  Still trying to decide what to do about it, I don't need another project or tractor to find room for, but it is a unique addition to the fleet, although not practical,
