You have a very nice 1978 D-160.  

 

The D-160 spanned 1975 to 1980.  The BF-MS/3268 was used in 1978 only.  The one lung Kohler was used in 1975 only.

Good looking D that followed you home.  Have fun with it....Wayne

[fisherman 39]

thanks Jack, was wondering when n y they put the onan in.

thanks Wayne! I swear i attract them, lol!

Terry, you said it wasn't all that pretty. Now that I see it, I think it looks gorgeous! Sure wouldn't take much rubbin and buffin to make it a jaw dropper. Do you wanna make a quick $100? LOL

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,040]

Nice pick up. Word of caution is parts will be difficult for that motor. That is the older style Onan.

[Whmaverick 54]

Yeah terry, better not risk it, should flip it my way. LOL

[slovinski 42]

Nice score.........I wish one of those big D's would follow me home.  ha ha

[brandonozz 168]

I like it Terry, can't wait to get my D going. 

Let me throw out a question to all you D experts.  If you bring home a D like Terry, would you take the transaxle apart and install grade 8/9 bolts in the differential as preventative maintenance or just hope for the best?  While it would take a weekend to do, the peace of mind seems worth it if you are planning on keeping the tractor.
