Recommended Posts

1maidenfan

Started my road trip at 5:30 Friday morning, all went well. :auto-driving: Met some really nice people and seen some REALLY nice wheel horse tractors.

Pictures are of my Durango(hemi powered) with trailer. A nice C195 that was in chelsea, the D 160 that I bought and a couple pic's of down town chelsea, MI.

I all so picked up a D snow blower in Fenton, Mi. but have not taken pic's yet. started snowing and wanted to hit the road. :auto-swerve:

Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to the people I met and that helped load my new toys. :eusa-clap::text-thankyoublue:

Kelly! I figured he would have snatched that c195 up. Chelsea is a nice little town. Years ago I helped a buddy work on his house near there. Nice horses by the way!

I sent him a message also, he told me of a guy in his town that has a large collection of D series and other tractors. Wanting to know if they are for sale, might be making another trip to chelsea. Maybe a weekender so I can stop by your place.

Thanks.

      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.

      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      Is there an unpublished step 3.5, or some trick?

      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?

      Hey all, I need to install a drive belt on my 75 D180 for my snowblower.  I've looked through a bunch of D-series owner's manuals, and none seem to mention replacement procedure.  The PTO pulley is fixed, save for engaging the PTO and there is minimal movement at the snowthrower pulley. There's no idler or tensioner as far as I can tell.  Do I have to remove the PTO pulley?  That seems to be a required service item.
      Same question for my 80 D200 as well really.  
       
      Using the recommended 4L490W belt.
       
      Thanks

      I got a D-180 for $250, and the governor is messed up, the points won't open or close, and I took it apart and was being stupid and messed some stuff up in there, and now I need a new one.
      Where can I get one that's not on eBay for $200?
      I also forgot to say it was a Kohler K482, and I'll throw some pictures of the tractor in as a treat.
