bell 11 #1 Posted April 19, 2009 Well, here's the new D... I traded for this with intentions of fixing and selling, but I think I'm in love... The 20hp Kohler runs FANTASTIC and the hydraulics seem to be good and strong!!! Thanks Devin and Gerald!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bell 11 #2 Posted April 19, 2009 There was a previous hack job done on the exhaust... I happen to have this small AC tractor muffler laying around... I will make a manifold out of black pipe and a couple fittings... (t the exhaust together) and run it right through the side of the grille surround and mount the muffler on the right side... :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HorseFixer 2,012 #4 Posted April 20, 2009 Jon nice looking D I would rather have the 200 Kohler over the Renault anyday IMHO especially at maintenance time might as well sign yer paycheck over to them for a carb & tune up! Anyways good score! :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canam1991 2 #5 Posted April 20, 2009 someone must have took the pto and 3pt off :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bell 11 #6 Posted April 20, 2009 someone must have took the pto and 3pt off Unfortunately they did... I'm going to build a 3-point hitch for it. The valve is already there and the lines are ran back to where the cylinder goes (capped off), so it shouldn't be too complicated. Anybody have a cylinder laying around?

Rollerman 290 #7 Posted April 20, 2009 Looks pretty good Jon, hard to find any air cooled D any more with decent or original mufflers. The 3PH makes them pretty versatile if you can get one together...seeing your skills on the Sami it shouldn't be to hard for you to fab a 3PH or some implements. How's the steering?

whfan74 2,015 #8 Posted April 20, 2009 Great score and hilarious name for her! I am hoping to add one of those to my collection some day. There is just something cool about those D's Keep us updated on any changes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bell 11 #9 Posted April 20, 2009 The steering is decent... There is a slight amount of slop, but it's not horrible. A guy I work with wants it BAD, so I may be selling it. More $ for my roundhood fund... :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #10 Posted April 21, 2009 A guy I work with wants it BAD, so I may be selling it. More $ for my roundhood fund... Thought you were in love, Jon?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #11 Posted April 21, 2009 I may be selling it. More $ for my roundhood fund Jon with a big enough hammer....Large Marge can be a round hood too. :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bell 11 #12 Posted April 21, 2009 I am in love with her.... well, maybe it's just a fling. Money is a little tight right now, and this guy is willing to pay a SUBSTANTIAL amount of $ for it. He also has no interest in having a 3point or PTO, so that makes it even better! I can do a LOT of fixing on my round hoods with the money he's offering. He wants me to make the necessary repairs (axle seal, exhaust, paint, new decals, etc..) I'd really like to keep it, but I have no need for a tractor of this MAGNITUDE... I only have two 1/2 city lots to tend to... :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linen beige 14 #13 Posted April 21, 2009 I will make a manifold out of black pipe and a couple fittings... (t the exhaust together) and run it right through the side of the grille surround and mount the muffler on the right side... The IH1 mufflers from TSC will hook right up in the original location.
