Ed Kennell 35,587 #2 Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Could be original. When AMC bought Wheel Horse in 1976, They used Kohlers, Tecumsehs, Briggs, and Onans in some models. AMC also used the four cyl. water cooled Renault in the D-250 in 76 thru 81 unti they sold Wheel Horse to Munn Industries in 1982.

maxiblue 352 #5 Posted October 3, 2017 Hi: the D-250 came out in 1976 yes has a 4 cylinder Renault , has rear wheel lock, 10 speed trans ( hi/low range), water cooled, manual steering cost new was about $4000. where are you looking at this, is it EBAY? Its a great tractor parts are not to bad to find if you know were to look.it weight is 1140lbs, tractor is all metric but attachments are all US standard. I have had my D-250 over 10 years still running great. Ed 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
