Is ther anyone in/near connecticut that will make me a 3pt hitch for my d180? i will need the rear ptto setup as well, will pay 180 if someone will make me these two things...

You do not need a custom 3 point for the D's they offered them from the factory. You can find one but good luck trying to get one for that price. IMO what you are looking for will run you about $500 in parts... You may want to find a parts D with those options. Good luck-

So your saying i can buy one from toro?? thanks

I am saying they were an option with your tractor new. I am not sure they still sell the entire set up but I know you can still purchase parts for it.

Watch eBay. When you find one grab it! I doubt anybody would build one for under $500.

Not sure if youre going to find a used one for much less than $250-$300 just for the lift. When I needed one for my 18 Automatic, ebay had 5 at 1 time. They ran from $300-$600 and that was without the rear PTO assembly which my machine already had from the factory. The problem is, theyre rare enough to garner the cost...people pay it and they dont last long on ebay. Its an awfully expensive item to add to your machine unless you have  a reason to have it (tiller or 60 inch mower deck). I became resigned to the fact the it wasnt worth the money.

 

I eventually did get one but it involved a three hour ride to Jersey, bartering my labor and mechanical ability to help  a member get a tractor running that had sat outside for 5 years and had an engine seized with mouse poop, a 3 hour ride back from Jersey, a lot of torch work heating bent lift arm, sandblasting years of pitting and neglect and a set of engine tins for a K-482. To me it was worth it to have a complete tractor with every option from the factory.
