Guest fireman #1 Posted November 30, 2008 After much searching I finally found a D200 (1978) close enough to home. Came with a plow and mower deck. The best part is I traded it for a Fisher plow I had and wasn't going to put on my new truck. Now to try and find a loader and 3 point hitch parts for it!

Guest fireman #10 Posted November 30, 2008 Thanks for the compliments. It looks all original except the plow is a Bolens and the previous owner made a bolt on seat behind the regular seat so his son could ride with him. I will plow with it his winter and as soon as the snow is gone, she will come apart for a rebuild. That is of course if at least one of the RJs is done for the PA show :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mailman 1 #15 Posted November 30, 2008 Very nice tractor! And clean. I'd say you did good. But, how are ya gonna plow that driveway? My gosh, that is quite a steep grade! :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,673 #16 Posted November 30, 2008 Now thats a good lookin tractor. Is that your driveway in the background?? If it is its gotta be the steepest I've ever seen unless the camera is playing tricks on me. I'm looking for the arm that goes from the angle lever to the front of the plow and if you have a chance could ya measure it. And maybe let me know where and how much of a bend it has. My D-160 came with a plow but didnt come with the rod and it looks like I'll me making my own. Thanks, Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fireman #17 Posted November 30, 2008 That driveway in the background is my neighbors and yes it is steep. Mine is relatively flat. We share the entrance. The one in the extreme right of the pic is actually a road and is steeper than that driveway . Sparky, The plow that is on it is not a Wheel Horse. It is a Bolens that the po modified to fit. The plow blade does angle but you have to get off the tractor and remove a pin by hand behind the blade and turn it . I hope to find either a WH plow or if the guy in Mass actually gets back to me about the FEL. Buy the way, I was planning on bidding $2000 for that FEL you got off Ebay (I think that was you) a few weeks ago for my C-81. I decided against it with 3 seconds left!

baerpath 517 #20 Posted November 30, 2008 For that much I'd be tempted to take the one off my 520 Duane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fireman #21 Posted November 30, 2008 That's why I didn't pull the trigger on it. Thought about what $2000 will buy. That is enough to finish both RJ58's and the Suburban. Just couldn't justify it. I think it ended up going for $1650. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #22 Posted November 30, 2008 If that Bolenz blade you speak of is like my 56" bolenz blade in my avatar..... It will bolt right up to a wheel horse plow frame with a minimum of modifications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fireman #23 Posted November 30, 2008 For giggles I just checked the model number on the tractor. It's a 1978 not a 77. Not really much of a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
