Tankman 3,523 #1 Posted July 14, 2015 In a couple of weeks I'm expecting a delivery, a D-250. PO purchased a Kubota zero turn but also has aKubota tractor. PO said too slow, needed something to mow quick. He's mowing a couple of acres.Been looking thru the manuals section, perhaps in the wrong place, Want to read up whileI'm twitching awaiting delivery. Hard sleeping, dreamin' bout my new find.I did visit and pet (hug) the Horse. Renault engine ran fine but I didn't drive it yet! Stored in an old bank barn, covered.A jump start, Stallion purred. D-250 only has a SD deck, large.Dumb as I am, or excited 'bout this Horse, I neglected (OK just forgot) to copy the ID tag. Duh. I know the rules, will post pics after the delivery. Didn't take pictures on site, PO doesn't know what he has (had ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennys502 246 #2 Posted July 14, 2015 Probably the biggest problem with The D-250's is the steering. My steering box is shot - I'm either going to put in power steering or get a different gear box. It is a workhorse and I've yet to load it to the point where it slows the engine. Mine needs a lot of work but It will be worth it when I'm done. Congratulations on your find.

shallowwatersailor 3,214 #8 Posted July 14, 2015 Give this site a try as well. Remember, the D-250 was made by Gutbrod for Wheel Horse. I'm not sure which model Gutbrod it was though.http://www.gutbrod.co/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #9 Posted July 15, 2015 Give this site a try as well. Remember, the D-250 was made by Gutbrod for Wheel Horse. I'm not sure which model Gutbrod it was though.http://www.gutbrod.co/ Visited Gutbrod's manual website. Read, "Mostly in German and/or French." Passed. The Gutbrod was model 2500S.Made a connection with stevebo (moderator), he's mailing me a manual.At Camp Lejeune we learned, Squids are for kids. Does that include the Coast Guard?
