Agage1 83 #1 Posted March 18, 2013 Was driving today And saw a d180 for sale. It's weathered pretty good but the guy started it up and it sounded ok. Comes with a dirt blade and he's asking 500. He said there's a bad seal in the trans but he has the part. The price seems fair to me but what do u guys think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacer 3,160 #3 Posted March 18, 2013 Very difficult to answer something like this --- but, I can give this comment ... I would give twice $500 for my 1975 D18 have had for the last 20+ years, and I have beat it like an orphan in a Dickens novel!! and the da** thing just "keeps on a ticking" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackC 616 #4 Posted March 18, 2013 $500 is not a bad price. Dirt blade or snow plow? The dirt blades go for $200 plus. The snow plows $150 or less. If it has the 3 point hitch grab it. Mower decks are $150 plus. The D's make good snow plows and yard mules. They grow on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brybrychrismer 17 #5 Posted March 18, 2013 500$ isnt to bad i paid 1000$ for the one i just got. I had to put a little work into it it came with the 3pt hitch and the dozer blade. i was lucky and picked up a deck for 125$. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #6 Posted March 18, 2013 I have a D-200 with 3 pt lift, loader (not on it now) grader blade, tiller & 60" finish mower, as well as a blade to replace the FEL bucket, and I would say $500 is a good deal on the D-180. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitten 133 #7 Posted March 18, 2013 I would say $500 isnt bad if you are willing to pay that much and put some work into it. Not sure what trans seal you have to replace but if you are able to do the work you would be on your way to owning a work horse. I use the snot out of my D.

fabricator2009 48 #8 Posted March 18, 2013 I think its a good deal. go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,168 #9 Posted March 18, 2013 Price may be reasonable. First get it warmed up and put against an immovable object. If it will spin the rear wheels with you on it. go for it. Incidentally the seal he is offering you is worth about $5.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agage1 83 #10 Posted March 19, 2013 I called him up he said it came 60" deck and dozer blade and does have 3 pt. Hitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marv 848 #11 Posted March 19, 2013 I would have it on my trailer so fast he could't change his mind. Obviously my opinion is it is worth every penny. Marvin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackC 616 #13 Posted March 19, 2013 It would be locked in my garage by now and I already have 2 Ds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agage1 83 #14 Posted March 19, 2013 Just lost it. Called the guy on my way home from work and it just left. I'm really regreting not jumping on that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisd200(inactive) 55 #15 Posted March 19, 2013 Dang Man, That Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a killer deal. The 60" mower and the 3 point alone were worth more than he was asking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agage1 83 #16 Posted March 19, 2013 Yeah I feel bad after reading all you guys posts. I don't know much about the d's at all. Had I known all this before I would have bought it two weeks ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
