'74 D-180 My friction disc in gone on my clutch. I saw the old post about making a new friction disc, so I'm not concerned about that. I managed to remove the front clutch plate and double v-belt pulley. But I can't separate the two. When I took the assembly off the spiraloc washer popped off on its own. I HAVE READ THE MANUALS. So I should be able to just remove the pulley from the front clutch and continue with step 4. The v-belt pulley is loose as all hell and flops around like a dead fish. It seems to be hung up on a ring or bearing race. So my thoughts are grab a BFH or sparky the blue tip wrench. Is there an unpublished step 3.5, or some trick?

A long long time ago there was a thread here about which wheel horse would be on your "wanted hit list". One of them was a GT-14 which thanks to Neil, one came my way.. A great machine which has now moved to pastures new.. The other I'm sure you can guess from the title was a D-200 Nigel bought this machine from Harry with the thought of changing the engine (which had a knock according to the bloke Harry bought it from), to something a bit different.. Then Nigel made the mistake of saying something along the lines of "I expect you will end up owning the D eventually". Which got me thinking A bit of a play with the wiring (The PTO switch had been badly by-passed) and the engine had a spark, and a temporary gravity fed fuel tank sorted out the fuel side of things.. Much to Nigel and my surprise the engine fired right up and sounded good with sign of any knocking sounds! The trans is a bit noisy but that may sort it's self out with a bit of use as the Big D hadn't been used in a very long time.. A few photo's for you.. And of course a video.... I hope to get an engine running and driving vid edited today, but for now here's an intro vid.. The D gets better each time she is driven. The engine always starts first time every time Speaking of the engine, a new vacum fuel pump was fitted so I could get rid of the "tank on a plank" that was clamped on the front and use the D's original tank.. The engine was also missing a cover, so I quickly folded one up from a bit of sheet steel.. Not pretty but does the job. The D's first official duty, carting some steel panels up from the scrap pile

Howdy everyone, Im new to tractor restoration and my first restoration project i want to do is my Wheel Horse D-200. I have no clue where to start on the project and was wondering if any of you had any pointers for a beginner restorer. The picture is my D-200 as it sits now more or less.

So I get the tilt cylinders rebuilt and want to see what I can lift. So I get the D loaded to go to up to my land. Got some sizable rocks moved. I got this one moved and then put on the rear blade to get some ballast. I could use some more weight and I am looking for ways to do that. After about 45 minutes, the transmission seemed to lose it's power. Where it would spin the tires trying to dig under this first rock, it didn't afterwards. Though not an emergency at this time, the lifting is the most important and it seemed to transport them fine. My question is this. I have another transmission from a D-180 (although it may have the same issue, I don't know). Should I swap the trannys like I did the engines or rebuild the transmission that is on it? Will rebuilding fix this issue? I haven't looked to see how these are attached, but are they as straightforward as the C tractors transmissions? Thanks for your input! I most likely won't attempt it anytime soon, just wanted to get the wisdom of the group.

Our town "Street Fest" is the 2nd weekend of September and it is our towns 155th anniversary. Every 5 years it is a bigger deal and we have a parade, A couple of weeks ago, my wife said, "You need to get your horses ready for the parade"! Well, we have been working on that and I had the D-200 out today stretching it's legs and she snapped a photo. When I have all of them "parade ready" I will get plenty of photos.

Some new pics with my father doing some work for me with the D-180. Must say that it’s a true work horse and it did a great job! It moved a lot of heavy road material this afternoon and actually even ripped up the asphalt with the new tires at some places! =) 27 x 8.5 -15†Skid Steer tires at rear on 7x15†rims and 4.00 x 10†at front on 3.5x10†rims and homefabbed hubs. I have now also connected the hydraulic pump under the tractor to the pto with a driveshaft. Works really well and I can still also use the pto at the front! Next project on this tractor is to fix a foot-hydro control. That would be a great thing together with the loader!

Had my '78 D-200 (K532 engine) w/snowthrower out today and found it lacking in power. The engine starts and runs fine but when I attacked the snow the engine RPMs dropped off quickly. The snow was wet and heavy so I didn't chage in too hard. I got the job done but it deffinately wasn't as strong as it was last year. I believe I have to adjust the carburator. Can anyone tell me if the engine is running too rich or too lean? Thanks for any assistance, Kevin
