Bertie 314 #1 Posted August 25, 2021 On average my 1974, D160 with a kohler k341 engine on full throttle is averaging 9.6 kph (6 mph) on flat ground, uphill or downhill. What kph were they when new... anyone know please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 1,788 #2 Posted August 25, 2021 7.5 from new. Perhaps an adjustment of the camplate would be in order? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did you find the 7.5 for D200?? MY manuals didn't show top speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 1,788 #4 Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) tractordata.com Yes I know, not the most reliable site, but sounds about right imo. Only tried 1 D series, and that was noticeably faster than a normal horse. The 195 is also fast out of the box, though only listed as 6.3, and considering the similar tire size to the D series, then yeah, I doesn't sound too wrong Also considering the 520HC at 6,5 I would say the D is faster than that. But then again, I could be wrong. It has happened before. Edited August 25, 2021 by Skipper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,365 #9 Posted August 25, 2021 The C 195 I picked up last weekend is slow going forward. Seems about the same as 1st gear high range in my 14-8 no name. I discovered that the C 195 was faster in reverse today - as I was backing up to the shed to park it. Got to pull the covers and see how much crud is in the control linkages.

aemsee 93 #10 Posted September 5, 2021 I grew up in the 70's mowing with my Dad's D160. I remember being incredibly fast compared to friend's Dads mowers (not that we raced them, lol). Also realized that going from reverse to full forward would pull the front wheels. Eventually I destroyed the bushings in the steering mechanism. Stupid kid.
