Electric D clutch

I picked up an electric clutch for my d-180 at the Arentsville show in June. Just getting to the project, but I'm stuck. Nothing seems to  be lining up like I expected. Primarily the bolt holes. Admittedly, I didn't do my homework on making sure it would fit. Anyone have any pics or can point me to a diagram that shows how this thing goes on? Also, I notices the the pulleys are slightly different sizes compared to my manual clutch pulleys. Should I worry or care?

Did they ever put electric clutches on Kohlers. All of mine that have electric clutches are Onans ? Looks like 3 7/8 as opposed to 3 1/4. Looks like you're going to have to drill new holes in the electric clutch mounting plate and drill and tap the holes that are in the Kohler block.

Well, that would explain why they don't line up. Thanks!

The only D with an electric clutch was the 160. There was never a Kohler that had one. I'm not saying it cant be done but from my research as to adding one to my 18 auto, there is a ton of fabbing and adapting that has to be done to accomplish it. Thats why I stopped. To me it wasn't worth the effort.

The D-160 was the only D with the electric clutch.  I believe the crank shaft on my D-160 ONAN is 11/8 inch diameter.  The D-180 and D-200 Kohler engines have a larger diameter crank (1 1/4 inch maybe?) and did not have electric clutches.

Beginning to think the same. Have already rehabbed the manual clutch and have it working pretty good. If anyone is looking for an electric clutch, I know where you can find one.

      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.
