Where to find a parts manual for 1985 416-8?
Charrie replied to Charrie's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I spoke with the man in charge and he said that it is ok to post directions for anyone who wants to come buy and look for parts. They are starting to box up the shelves this week but said that the mower section would be last. They have a good bit of stuff throughout the store and if one of the boxes on the floor catches your eyes, ask them how much. As far as mower parts, Rotary is their aftermarket supplier. Today i found a starter, partial gasket set, one crankshaft seal, and one of the pepper shaker mufflers for my 416, They have a truck load of chain saw parts if someone knows what to look for. Also lots of different mower blades for unknown machines. Dawnville Hardware. 1358 Dawnville Rd NE, Dalton, GA 30721 -

What's it look like and measure? -
Can you show current pics? In all seriousness.... the more you move, the more you'll likely be able to. But you shouldn’t need to "thread through". This is how I ( the not small Bear ) gets on all my tractors... Or a Wheelhorse 200 series with a pass through design.

Hi guys, not much of an update, hopefully more tomorrow since I've ordered a bunch of parts. Quick question about parts, do you know where I can find a gascap for a Kohler M16 fueltank that doesn't cost a fortune? I found a few but they're $40-50 -

Yep 100% agree -
Decided it was in time to start the winter workers up from their nap. Both started reasonably easy considering they haven't run since last winter. Same gas in the tanks as when I shut them down and I put them away. That's why I run non ethanol fuel.

Copy that - Thanks

The first pic was giving me a stiff neck..flipped it for ya!

I believe those attachments are tractor specific. The grader blade may be different. @953 nut would know for sure.

Just returned from camping at local lake. Intended to catch a few channel catfish but that didn't work out. Good thing we saved a few hot dogs for ourselves! We like to cook outside on these trips so the Dutch oven get plenty of use. The first morning's breakfast was store bought canned cinnamon rolls. We spice them up by adding a mixture of brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and a dash of vanilla to the bottom of the dutch oven and pour maybe 1/3 cup of sweet whipping cream before baking. It really helps the rolls. Sitting around we discussed adding the whipping cream to the small cheap canned buttermilk biscuits. The biscuits came our fluffier and with more flavor. Brother in law thinks we should try adding butter milk to the dutch oven. I almost for to take and "after" picture so a few biscuits are missing.

Steering is known to be problematic on "D's" and with a loader it can be compounded. Also the trans/ engine coupler are known to fail and are NLA.

Here’s a few pics just in !

Worked on the hood today. Coated it with Penetrol. Starting to look better. Got to add some metal where they cut it to get the hood off, but looking better. Making progress. Dave

Looking good! -
Don’t have any pics as of now , I saw unit & its definitely weathered with patina - not a Show Stopper for sure but not rusted-out or beat up. I understand the attachments are unique to D series & more rare , just fell for the OEM loader package on it. I presently own a restored Commando 8 C/W rear discharge deck & SS snow blower , C100 8-speed with 36 in rear discharge deck , C160 hydro C/W 42 in side discharge deck , 42 in SS snow blower , cast iron wheel weights & 2-link tire chains & my Baby a 418 A in fantastic condition C/W 42 in side discharge deck , 42 in SS snow blower , 42 in dozer blade , 36 in rototiller , 48 in belly mount grader blade (40 in blade professionally widened 4 in each end) , wheel weights & 2-link tire chains. My stable is pretty full ! Maybe the D200 beast is not a good investment. Thanks to all for warm welcome to Red Square !!

Welcome! Yes, pictures of all are needed to see if it is a "Show Case" or a "Show Stopper"!.... One thing to consider - all the implements for any of the D series - D180, D200, and D250 are unique to that series and do NOT interchange with the more common B, C, 300, 400, 500 series.

You’re going to get values that are all over the place. I recommend you post up some pictures to get a better “guess” from the forum.

Hello all - Any guesses on value of D200 C/W front end loader / 50 in rototiller / rear finishing mower deck & tire chains. Machine has three point hitch & rear PTO. All in operating / usable condition. 927 hours on meter. Thanks for your thoughts Cheers

Got um welded together. Found some old aluminum siding and cut me a strip out and used thatvas a backer for my weld and it worked great. I had them tacked in 3 different places and just welded a1 1/2 to 2 inch bead rotatiing wheel to a different spot trying to keep heat down a little. Ran out of supplies (primer, Bondo, sandpaper etc.) and had to quit for the day. Opie took care of some business while we where at shop also. He is a groundhog killing mochine. This is the eighth one Ive seen him kill and he has probably killed more than that -

He did find the Americas four times, just not the same places in the Americas, Do we have any temperature data for 1492? Below the equator they are having global cooling because of the earth's axis has shifted away from them. The European Space Agency has noted a net growth of ice in the Antarctic region due to increased snowfall over the past half dozen years. Our planet has had some dramatic weather change over the years. During the 1970s we were facing the next ice age. The 1980s brought us the hole in the ozone layer. As soon a Dupont got R-12 eliminated by an act of Congress and everyone had to buy Dupont's new R-134 the concern for the hole was old news and the fear merchants went on to somethin else. Lately some of our elected leaders were proposing a huge sunscreen could be suspended in space to reduce global warming, guess these geniuses never heard of the important part sunlight plays in photosynthesis, you know, FOOD PRODUCTION. Many of the global warming "no fossil fuel" is the cause groups are finally acknowledging that the change in the tilt of the earth's axis is the primary cause of climate change. BUT, undaunted by evidence that seismic activity in the Pacific ring of Fire is causing the axis shift they have a new explanation. Industrialized nations are withdrawing too much water from North American and Chinese aquifers and the axis is shifting because of that. I've heard several reports that coral reefs are recovering in many places, Perhaps adding microplastics to their diet is contributing to it, who knows. -
Good point .. small trailer was before I didn’t know no brakes
