I posted some time ago about an issue with my 160. She was starting extremely hard, had blow back through the intake below 1500 rpms and I was getting major black smoke when throttling up. Finally got into the engine and found the head gasket was blown between the first and second cylinders. Going to order a new gasket and throw it back together.

Update on my 160. Finally got back togethet, she's now running like a champ. Fires right up better than anything else on the farm now, even better than the new Mahindra my FIL bought. Love this tractor in the winter, gets through the snow with authority and alwayscranks right up.
