ericjr16 125 #1 Posted May 5, 2018 Hey guys we were following someone Home who bought a tractor from Dad. Passed a little WH with free sign. After unloading we stopping and grabbed it. Rear tires leak badly and are being swapped now. Looks like a little nice mower. Little brother to the D180. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 23,806 #4 Posted May 5, 2018 FREE is my favorite 4 letter word, closely followed by BEER (which is consumed while bringing FREE stuff back to life!!!) Nice score! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericjr16 125 #5 Posted May 6, 2018 Thank you guys! We got it to run of carb clean. Solenoid was no good as was fuel line. Changed both and found starter lug broken. My friend gave me one but ran out of time to install it. Will try to do it today. Those rear tires were horribly dry rotted so some spares were mounted so we can move it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 4,895 #8 Posted May 6, 2018 I had one of those. Not a bad little machine. Mine had a side discharge deck which mowed very well. Did not shift very well at first until I realized the belt guides on the engine pulley needed to be adjusted then all was good (belt was grabbing pulley with clutch pedal depressed).

CountryRock 198 #9 Posted May 6, 2018 Cool find. Seen a few of those small ones come up on the local classifieds site. Free is always good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericjr16 125 #10 Posted May 7, 2018 It turns out single Intek starter works great on the old flatheads! I have those starters by the dozen! We got it to start but carb is real messed up, choke hasn't worked in long time as it is frozen and linkage fell off throttle control. Think float is stuck closed so it will need to be cleaned/swapped. At least it looks all there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some major health issues in the last couple years are coming to a head. My dad got it running today after carb clean and removal of mouse nest. It runs good and all gears and deck works! It needs repaint of hood and deck at least! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
