D180 I think

Recommended Posts

JerryV

New to Red Square and new to wheel horse. Pictured is what I think is a D180 that my father-in-law acquired around 2008. He disassembled it to repair a crack and I have been slowing putting it back together. When the tractor came to me all the panel where sand blasted and bare except the fuel tank he painted and a few panels that I painted. I've spent several weekends painting and reassembling and I'm pretty sure I got every thing in the right place. All that is left is to finish the wiring, install new fuel hose and the seat and find some mufflers. I have one NOS muffler but I rather try find suitable subs or to fab up some mufflers than use an NOS one.

Welcome aboard!!

 

If the gas tank is original then your horse would be a D-200 (its an 8 gal as opposed to the 5 gal on the 160 & 180) The S/N would have been located under the dash just to the left of the park brake (cant tell from the pic if its there...) Does the engine have the S/N? If its a 200 the engine will be a K532 - indicating a 20hp and another indication its a D-200

 

Thats a nice looking horse! Those D's are a bear of a small tractor and can do some work. and yours has the 3 point hitch which gives it so many more tasks it can perform -- course I'm a bit prejudiced, I have 4 of em...:lol:

I know that is a nice horse, but I sure would like to see a couple of pictures of that VW Bus!!  :handgestures-thumbupright:  I've been into VW's for most of my life.

yep, looks like a D200, I'm not sure if the D180's had a oil filter either.

"D"- Man

Jerry, that is one nice looking "D" and it not only has the 3 point hitch set up with the P.T.O. but as a bonus you also have turning brakes, and the rear wheels are 15" .  Ditto on it is likely a D-200.  Mark.

Looks like a 1975 D200. Note the two rear slots for the motion control lever.

 

Another similar what is it thread?

Thanks for all the encouragement. While I'm wiring and running fuel hose tonight I'm going to write down the  Sn and see if I can find the sn for the engine. Not sure if I'm going to spring for decals just yet. I would really like to find someone that makes decals to replace the upper and lower plastic dash panels. Mine are pretty beat up.

I couldn't find anything on the engine to identify it . I'll just have to take some pictures and post them up. ID tag next to the parking brake had two numbers 1 0630 9  and 1002130.

1974 D-200, it appears. 1002130 must be the serial number

      I know I'm half a year ahead of schedule! 

       
      I picked this 1974 D-180 up early last year. It had a pretty hard life, and the previous owner gave his best attempt at keeping it alive. Hydro was strong so I serviced it and put it to work mowing all year. I decided if it would make it through the season then it would get some TLC. By fall it was burning about a quart of oil an hour but it made it. I have no clue how many hours are on it, every hole, bushing, bearing on this tractor is pooched. If you look closely, somebody used two 1" NPT Pipe Flanges to rebuild the mounting points for the upper 3 point cylinder. Hey it works!
      I rebuilt the steering gearbox and re-bushed the front axle along with making new spindles. 
      I had the 482 Kohler bored .20 over (it was .10 over already) and gave it a rebuild with the intention of putting it back to work on snow duty. 
      I then dawned on me that this tractor will be 50 years old next year - and these old D's are becoming harder and harder to find anymore. So I decided to customize it a bit and go for what a maybe a dealership would offer for a 50th anniversary model if Wheel Horse was still in business today (In another universe, maybe!) 
       
      As D's aren't known for their looks - and I can't leave anything alone. I took approximately 2 Inches out of the grille and bezel. 
      I updated most of the wiring and lights. Gave it a new set of Carlisle Ags along with Vredestein front ribs. It got a new seat and I painted all the accents aluminum. 
      I patched, rebuilt the 48" deck and put new blades, wheels, and hardware on it. The Blade & 3 point scoop somebody adapted to it also got some attention.  
      Lastly I stripped it most of the way down and painted it with IH red acrylic urethane enamel. 
      I always forget to take pictures during my projects but here's a few:

      Barn find 1975 D180. 608 original hours. Tractor and 48” belly mower look to be still in their original paint. Rear 60” finish mower looks like it has had one coat of new paint added at some point. Open to trades. Please email me with any questions or for additional photos. 35 miles north of Pittsbugh.

      I have a D-180 that broke an axle I have got all new parts and have removed transaxle from machine.  The 2 parts I am missing for re assembly are the metal screen with magnet for inside trans  and a new gasket from transaxle to pump.  I have done some looking and can not find these parts.  I have the old screen but the rubber gasket on the end of it has some rot and is apart from the screen.   The gasket is still in place but i would feel better putting in a new one before re build.  Thanks for your help

      Fast question ...
       
      Per the IPL for the 6-1141 and 6-1131 54" & 56" blades - how is everyone pinning the rear blade lock arms so they can't unlock the blade ? I've ran into problems with this thing before wanting to unlock itself and drop the blade half off the tractor. It seems when back dragging rough pavement, especially if I back into a snow bank the thing is moving those locks out of position and allowing the frame to drop off. The only reason it stays at least somewhat under the D is the lift arm , but getting it back into position is no fun due to the weight of this thing and especially out in the snow/cold weather. Last time I had to drag the thing back to a clear area so I could wrestle it back into position, lift the frame and lock it again. I did wire them shut for now, but don't trust it and I use it to back drag quite a bit on rough areas I don't want to ram the cutting edge against and risk damaging the rear axle differential or anything else. Mine has been rebuilt with a new cutting edge of 1055HC and the frame is highly beefed up - most of it is now boxed in and the thing has gained nearly 50lbs of steel. It cuts great, almost too good but that random dropping it off is starting to irritate me - need some ideas here...
       
      The smaller 42" and other frames lock from the other direction - so to speak. The brackets are also drilled to accept large hair pin cotters to keep those locks in place - I see no way the bigger blade frame is designed for that, unless I'm missing something ?

      Ok - the UL-1 batteries won't cut it for turning over the big cast iron Kohler twins - got one that is only 6mo old and it's basically shot already . One start cycle and if it doesn't fire it's done - needs to be jumped . Since it's mounted above the Sundstrand pump and so close to that thumper engine I'd assume the vibration is just killing the plates . At a rate of 2 batteries per year - that doesn't work out very well and the rotating mass of that engine just draws far too much from the battery - even with a new starter .
       
      From the BCI group number chart and some dimensions of what can fit in the tractor physically I come up with a Group 26 battery - what is everyone using in their twin cylinder D's ??
       
      I see an equivalent Deka runs about $80 - anyone tried that size on one of these D's ...?
