rydogg 186 #1 Posted November 10, 2010 Well I wasn't gonna go for the deal I even tried to pass it on to Jason (aka casual observer) I mulled it over a bit and called the owner back and made a deal on a pair of complete D200's with 3 points and rear pto, also a deck, snow/dirt blade, mid mount grader and a rototiller, there is also a rear mount mower that he didn't think was for the wheel horses but after doing some research I believe it is so I will try to get that included also. I usually only pick up 55-64 round hoods but the deal was too good to pass up, the only problem is that the transmissions are not in working condition and if I am unable to repair or locate used ones I will probably just part the whole bunch out or do some trading for some round hoods. The wife and I are currently in the process of purchasing a small acreage and money is tight so I will not be taking possession of the Wheel Horses until mid December pictures will come then.

KB9LOR 4 #3 Posted November 10, 2010 If that is indeed a rear mount mower for the D Series, and you plan to part it out, please let me know! I have a D-160 that it would look nice on. lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickv1957 72 #4 Posted November 11, 2010 sounds like a nice find! Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slufoot733 70 #5 Posted November 11, 2010 WOW, nice find. The D's are big tractors and sometimes the parts are hard to get your hands on (as I have found out). I am working on my fathers 1978 D-200 right now. I have it running and everything seems to be working for now. If you do decide to part out one or both of your D's please let us know. There are a couple parts I would like to have on hand for spares. KT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuboxlover 477 #6 Posted November 11, 2010 If a rear end out of a D-160 will fit, I may have one that I would sell/trade you. It would make a nice little road trip for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Operator 7 #7 Posted November 11, 2010 If you do decide to part out the lot, can you keep me in mind for the tiller? I have an older gentleman up here in Wisconsin looking for one. Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 721 #8 Posted November 11, 2010 Even with small acreage, a "D" can be very helpful. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rydogg 186 #10 Posted April 23, 2011 I'm going tomorrow morning to try to work out a deal on the d200's and attachments, we purchased our new home in December and I tried to pick them up after that but the owner didn't want to mess with them since they were buried in snow...hopefully we can come to an agreement and I will be bringing them home I just hope the Chevy can handle all the weight good thing they are only about 10 miles from me so I can take it easy. Pictures to come if all goes well :wh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rydogg 186 #15 Posted April 23, 2011 Well, I just got back from making 2 trips to get all of this stuff good thing it was only 10 minutes from home I don't think my trailer could handle a longer trip we kinda loaded it too far to the front so it was really tongue heavy, I checked out the brush mower and found that it is definitely so that was included on the deal. We used a payloader to load most of the stuff which worked out great since these are VERY heavy tractors. I am missing some parts like the motor covers for one of the kohlers, the arms and center section for the 3 point on one tractor and maybe some other misc I haven't had time to look them over yet. Now I need to decide if I am gonna fix them, part them out, or sell the whole bunch all together since I just depleted a large portion of my swap meet money and there is one coming up in a week decisions decisions Enjoy the pictures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rydogg 186 #18 Posted April 25, 2011 I had some time today so I pulled the tractor with the turf tires and chains on it into the garage, it looks kinda funny to see a 1055 pulling a d series tractor. First I pulled the cover off so I could get at the starter then I pulled the plugs and put some lube in the cylinders and cranked it over a bit by jumping the starter then I put the compression tester on each cylinder 100 psi each next I checked for spark there was none so I cleaned up the points and got spark, so now it time to fire this up so I rig up a funnel and hose so I can feed it fresh gas and give it a squirt in the carb and start cranking and it fires right up and runs like a top 45psi oil pressure, charging system works, hydro trans temp gauge works, trans works great, mid and rear lift works flawlessly, only problem is the hour meter is going backwards it reads 8000 hours. I need to clean the tank and replace the fuel lines and give it a good test drive but so far so good. The other one will be next I looked at the hour meter and that one reads 135 hours it is a lot nicer but I don't think the hours are correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
