Started working on getting the snow blower ready for use. It's a little rusty but nothing through(no holes). Does need a few new parts and any help finding these would be great. For starters I need the 2 auger bearings and the drive belt. The chain and sprockets are good and the drive shafts are good also. Checked gear box for grease and it's full and in good condition. So all in all I believe the blower to be in good condition just need to replace parts mentioned.

John, I rebuilt one a while back that is now the "Vermonster". I don't remember the bearing numbers but if you take your old bearing or just dimensions to Auto Tech, they will get you hooked up!

I'd be curious to see how that thing actually attaches to a D. Make sure you take pics of that when you get it back together.

JackC, the snow isn't very deep in this video but you can see a D scale blower at work. It does as well in deep snow but you can't move forward as quickly.

slufoot733, Thanks for the video. Looks like the 1970s technology D Series single stage snow blower does a good job. It looks like it can handle plenty of volume but it probably does not throw the snow as far as the newer technology, 1990s 42 inch tall shoot single stage or the 44 inch tall shoot two stage.

Does the taller shoot on the blower help blow the snow further? :confusion-shrug: :huhs:

      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      Is there an unpublished step 3.5, or some trick?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?

      D series Belt Replacement
      By BuffaloD200
      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

      Governor for a D-180
      By ihatephones
      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.
