D series gauges - D160 D180 D200

Recommended Posts

What gauges were standard on wheel horse D160 D180 D200 series tractors?

Was the dash light only an option on the D200?

 

On D180 and D200 series tractors I've seen, it seems like they all had Ammeter, oil pressure, and transmission temperature.

I've only seen engine hours and dashlight on one D200.

 

I'm not sure about D160.  I have never seen one up close.

 

Thanks.

I've owned 6 of them and not a single one had the same dash lay out. I currently have 2, and they are miles apart -- the D200 is full featured with all the gages/lights, but has no attachments except the deck -- then My D160 is Bare bones with not even head/tail lights, but has a 3pt lift -which I use a lot!!

 

Then I have had one 18 auto, two D180s, and another D200, and aside from the two 180's which were pretty close on dash/lights, one had the whole package with PTO and 3 pt, the other only had the deck.

 

I currently have a 200 strictly for mowing, it had a recent short block and is all around a solid tractor, the 160 has/had a recent complete Kohler K341 and it too is all around a good solid tractor.

 

Very likely, these are the last horses I'll own, between my age and the almost impossibility of finding a horse here in La, will likely be my last.......

      I know I'm half a year ahead of schedule! 

       
      I picked this 1974 D-180 up early last year. It had a pretty hard life, and the previous owner gave his best attempt at keeping it alive. Hydro was strong so I serviced it and put it to work mowing all year. I decided if it would make it through the season then it would get some TLC. By fall it was burning about a quart of oil an hour but it made it. I have no clue how many hours are on it, every hole, bushing, bearing on this tractor is pooched. If you look closely, somebody used two 1" NPT Pipe Flanges to rebuild the mounting points for the upper 3 point cylinder. Hey it works!
      I rebuilt the steering gearbox and re-bushed the front axle along with making new spindles. 
      I had the 482 Kohler bored .20 over (it was .10 over already) and gave it a rebuild with the intention of putting it back to work on snow duty. 
      I then dawned on me that this tractor will be 50 years old next year - and these old D's are becoming harder and harder to find anymore. So I decided to customize it a bit and go for what a maybe a dealership would offer for a 50th anniversary model if Wheel Horse was still in business today (In another universe, maybe!) 
       
      As D's aren't known for their looks - and I can't leave anything alone. I took approximately 2 Inches out of the grille and bezel. 
      I updated most of the wiring and lights. Gave it a new set of Carlisle Ags along with Vredestein front ribs. It got a new seat and I painted all the accents aluminum. 
      I patched, rebuilt the 48" deck and put new blades, wheels, and hardware on it. The Blade & 3 point scoop somebody adapted to it also got some attention.  
      Lastly I stripped it most of the way down and painted it with IH red acrylic urethane enamel. 
      I always forget to take pictures during my projects but here's a few:
