This is about as far as I'm going tearing apart the 18 auto. Can't get the steering wheel off so will have to do the dash panel on the machine. Will be taking 3 point off but thats about it.

That Regal Red looks like a decent match.

Nice work!

Not sure why the transaxle is showing up so bright but it is the same color as all the other parts. :eusa-think: maybe the flash? :techie-eureka:

Cant get the steering wheel off...boy I know how that feels...I hope your wasnt butchered like mine was....It seems as if we are running neck and neck amigo. I think you will be running long before me though due to my hydro disaster that just hasnt worked its way clear yet....Keep up the great work and I'll see ya at the finish line..... I also see yours has an oil filter. My Kohler definitely DOES NOT have a filter...I wonder what the scoop is there?

My 18 auto is actually a 20 auto. The guy I bought it from put in the 20 hp kohler and also installed the 1" spindles, stock ones are 3/4".

How did you get the hubs off??? That alone is the toughest job I have encountered yet. I got everything else loose but 1 hub. If the seal hadn't been leaking on the other side it might not have come off either but it slipped right off.

Cool pictures! I can now see how different the D (non D-250) series is... everything from the twin-cylinder engines... to the directly coupled hydrostatic pump... to the front/rear PTO. Quite a different animal altogether... no belts??

      Ark Loader Spool Valve
      By BuffaloD200
      Finally getting around to working on my ark loader.  The previous owner said he thinks the problem is with the spool valve.  
      As I've learned a bit more about hydraulics now, I'd like to get this all sorted out.  
      I noticed the power beyond port is connected to the reservoir return.  Is that right?  
      Anyone see anything blatantly incorrect?

      D-160 Hydro Pump
      By ccs002
      Looking for a complete hydro pump for a D-160. Tractor is missing everything from the rubber coupler disc back. Also willing to buy a complete tractor for parts, the closer to Harrisonburg VA the better. Thank you.

      GT14/D series lift cylinder modification
      By tractorboy79
      I was looking around on ebay and noticed that hydraulic actuators from John Deere 312, 317, etc models appear to be Identical to a Gt14 or d series lift cylinder. My question is would a new cylinder from ebay be able to replace one that is on a gt14 or d series?
       
      Images below of cylinders to show similaritys.

      HELP! D-Series Clutch
      By BuffaloD200
      '74 D-180
       
      My friction disc in gone on my clutch.  I saw the old post about making a new friction disc, so I'm not concerned about that.
      I managed to remove the front clutch plate and double v-belt pulley.  But I can't separate the two.  When I took the assembly off the spiraloc washer popped off on its own.  I HAVE READ THE MANUALS.
      So I should be able to just remove the pulley from the front clutch and continue with step 4.  The v-belt pulley is loose as all hell and flops around like a dead fish.  It seems to be hung up on a ring or bearing race.  
      So my thoughts are grab a BFH or sparky the blue tip wrench.
      Is there an unpublished step 3.5, or some trick?

      D-Series One Wheel Peel
      By BuffaloD200
      Hey all, 
       
      My '74 D180 has a lot of trouble pushing snow.  Weighted tires, but nothing else at this time.  I've found it gets stuck frequently and only one wheel spins.  Do these tractors not have a limited slip/locker arrangement?  How does everyone manage with the infamous one wheel peel?
