19richie66 17,508 #1 Posted October 17, 2022 I told my wife this is it. And it will be unless a Pond senior drops in my lap for next to nothing Yeah, like that’s gonna happen. So I was offered this D200 and some misc parts. I drove to Pine Grove, Pa and met up with Brian (SuperC4me) to get my treasure. Unloaded and reloaded, ate some lunch and hit the road. Left my house at 3am and got home at 9:40 pm. Very tiring but beautiful scenery. I ended up with a D200, 418-A roller, spare D transmission and pump, a Kohler M10 engine and two steering columns from different brand tractors. A good haul. A big thanks to Brian for making it happen. I got it running this morning but she won’t move. I see some transmission work is in my future. 8 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,916 #2 Posted October 17, 2022 Sorry Karen, there’s no fix for Wheel Horses Anonymous! Nice find Richie! What size are those rear tires, they seem smaller than the normal 24x12’s on a D. Plans for it? Worker on the farm? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,916 #3 Posted October 17, 2022 Speaking of tractors and promises… I pinky promised Mrs. P thatI wouldn’t touch the JD backhoe until our bathroom is finished. I need to trim and hang a new door still. 2? 3? Years later. Still haven’t touched that ‘hoe! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What size are those rear tires, they seem smaller than the normal 24x12’s on a D. Plans for it? Worker on the farm? Those are actually the 15” wheels. Not sure what the size is. Just got around to messing with it today. Will look tomorrow. Took the snow chains off and the tires are toast. I have another set of tires just like what’s on Skittles but need 10” wide wheels to run them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might just work. Want to get the transmission figured out before I put too much effort into it. Wish I still had that XI eaton transmission 😢 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,609 #7 Posted October 17, 2022 @19richie66 Does any of the hydraulics work? Just wondering if you have a tranny or pump issue. Also, did you check the tow valve to see if it was open? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,508 #8 Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) The tow valve is closed. I did back it out and reseat it. The hydraulics do work. Not sure how fast the lifts are supposed to work. It seems slow but both cylinders do work. When I move the motion lever, it does move a hair forward or backwards and then stops. Makes a strange gurgling/grinding noise. I checked the parking brake lever to make sure it was off. Fluid is full and clean with newer filter. Thinking something inside the drive motor has wet the bed. I’ll pull the drive motor and check it. Edited October 17, 2022 by 19richie66 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
