BESTDOGEVER 218 #1 Posted July 16, 2021 Looking at a d250 the price is quite good. It has been rebuilt and looks like either well maintained or restored. The body and frame look good everything is very clean and straight. It doesn't appear that there are any attachments with it, that being said my vision for it is a plow and hauling machine. How difficult will it be to find a plow/dozer blade and at what cost.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,906 #2 Posted July 16, 2021 I really can't help you other than I know they were not built by WH and parts are hard to come by. Sorry I can't be more help. Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregor 4,847 #3 Posted July 16, 2021 What should you look for? My address, and then send it to me. Other than that, I know very little about them. http://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/000/3/4/346-wheel-horse-d-250.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 60,325 #5 Posted July 16, 2021 As long as the D-250 has been gone through and a previous owner has spent the time/money making it right it is a great find. Although a blade for the D-250 may be hard to come by you should be able to make the framework (or have it made) and use a 60" blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BESTDOGEVER 218 #6 Posted July 17, 2021 Pacer, I appreciate the advice especially since you are a D series owner, as I am only somewhat younger than you I figure it only has to last 10 years or so and then my grandson will have to work on it 😉. If it is as good as the seller says I should be ok it can't be any worse than some of the $50 cars I had as a youngster. 953 Nut I like the thought of fabricating a plow I have a brother in law that is pretty good with a welder. Thanks for the input, I will update any progress. Ernie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
