alswagg 128 #1 Posted June 1, 2014 I just purchased a D 180 with a front end loader and a back hoe, Both work fine says the seller. My son went 750 miles to pick it up for me. He is still on the road back. We already have a D 18 auto which has worked great until last weekend when the coupler splines stripped. I can fix that to never happen again. Are there any items I should be aware of and double check on the front end loader and back hoe. I will obviously change all fluids and tune up as needed. Thanks Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
