IT'S a D-180 & IT'S all MINE!!

[pfrederi 17,723]

The motion control linkages on a D Series would make Rube Goldberg envious.  They work OK but it is easy for something to slip out of adjustment and cause problems. Also the linage and parking brake linkage changed once.  Download this manula it has a good section on linkage...

Question? What would be a good suggestion for getting the tank unstuck from the seat pan??

Parts manual shows two different carb kits.  What is eh spec number for your engine and the serial #

Just A little work done yesterday, got the weight and wheels off & up on stands 

[Southern_Secret 463]

@pfrederi the numbers on the engine are gone so im not 100% sure

[pfrederi 17,723]

Based on the spec number that WH used the most 53105 The carb is variation 14.  However there is split between serial #s   older use 25757 01  later used 257502.  Will look at the serial # on my D200 later may give a clue...

That model number is for a  1975  D180 so you have the K 482 probably spec #35222 and is still carb variation 14. 

 

The break point for 6373508  seems to be in mid 1974.  Hazard a guess you are after that so use the 2575702 kit

Any suggestions on getting the hubs off??

That's a special science in itself.  

 

A#1. Do NOT use a standard 3 jaw puller. 

 

Any pics of where you're at?

And dont hit the back of the hubs...

[pfrederi 17,723]

One of the more difficult tasks in WH land.  The body of the hub is much longer than other horses so there is more surface for rust to build a bond between the hub and the axle.  The flange is only slightly thicker than normal.  If you try to pull on the flanges you will mostly likely break it if the hub is stuck on .  You need to pull from the back of the hub.  This is how I did mine a few years ago...never hope to have to do that again.  You will note the square tubing has a bend to it.  It was straight when I started...

@Southern_Secret  good luck with that , to me its a perfect time to save the period patina , with a penetrating oil soak down , think about , once its wet with oil , and the days and weeks or more go by , with more important areas . the existing paint has been drinking in that patina saving lube , ready for a oiled cloth rub down ,  another thing is to look at cracking stress areas , on you to do list , pete
