tractorhogg 612 #1 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Slow but sure, I'm getting this under way ( I have three other tractors "underway" as well), but this one is going to get finished. I wont paint, but mechanically this is going to be right. Its a 1980 Onan D-160 that I swapped all the parts (and engine) out from a Kohler single D-160. It was in better shape and I got to save the electric clutch switch as an auxiliary switch for rear sprayer or something else (maybe the Kohler k341 gets an electric clutch). I did swap out the dash and other parts, but I did save the extra gauges which I will re purpose. I am putting on the 30x10-12 rear Interco Interforce tires as soon as I get the rear wheels painted. The 12" steel four hole wheels should be here in the next day or so, the tri-rib tires and tubes are already here as are the cast iron 4 bolt trailer hubs. I finished the steering wheel pull today and put the new plastic bushing (4.00) from EZ-cart on and the foam washer from Parts Tree. I'll install a new cam follower and maybe some ball bearings if need be. I have a few electrical connections to coil and lights to do and I need to install all new fuel hose and fuel filter. I'm having a guy build me a rear quick disconnect for the PTO, (may make more than a few if the price is right. The 50 inch tiller I got will go on this tractor and the other D-160 will get the deck and be a mower. It seems the adjustable PTO shaft is frozen or tight, any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated. I go to college four days a week and work five hours after I get out of school on a elementary school remodel, then do homework after that. I've been struggling with some health issues since last September and this Tuesday the VA has finally got me an appointment to have an MRI, but I know realistically I'l probably be in pain at least another three months. Pictures soon. Alain Edited February 29, 2016 by tractorhogg 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,655 #2 Posted February 29, 2016 I use to chain one end to the bottom of our A-frame and use the chain fall to pull them apart . Make sure to put the guards on the pto shaft . We wouldn't let a pto leave the shop without one . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
