Rollerman 290 #1 Posted August 13, 2007 Went & visited a Wheel Horse friend up north this weekend. Did a little tradeing, hung out, Look over some of his collection & Son and I even got to drive a few! I picked up another D series..this one's a D 160 & my son got himself a Work Horse "scooter" D's sick & will need some engine work...someone put a 20HP K series twin in it.

nylyon-(Admin) 7,294 #2 Posted August 13, 2007 You did good with that D, but the 4x4 D is out of this world. He did a really nice job on that, sure hope he shows it. Invite him aboard, would love to see more pictures of that. Also, never saw a workhorse mower like that one, thought workhorse were all lawn / garden tractors.

Rollerman 290 #3 Posted August 13, 2007 I don't know to much about the Workhorse yet Karl, Have yet to run the numbers? The articulated D is sweet....what I know it's built from 2 Case tranaxles & one pump powering both. It's fun to drive! He took the D to PA for several years, but it's been around for a few years & I just think he likes showing off the new stuff like the Toro/Wheel Horse 264 4X4 I'll mention the forum to him next time I chat online with him. The D160 is a bit rigged now...but should fix up nice...I plan on putting a HD 48" SD deck under it & mowing with it. This one also has the 3 point like my D 200.

Curmudgeon 28 #5 Posted August 13, 2007 I've seen them around, but really can't say much about them so haven't said much here. Guess all I'm saying is, yep, they're around. LOL Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,352 #6 Posted August 14, 2007 So now ya got 2 "D" tractors? Lucky guy! That rear engine tractor looks like a great little go cart for a kid. My sons first tractor was a Murray 8hp rear engine rider when he was 6 years old. It was great way to teach him how to shift, brake, clutch, and to hit the key if anything went wrong. Mike....

Rollerman 290 #7 Posted August 14, 2007 Mike will see how lucky I am...the new D has a dead cylinder & won't run very long. Hydro seems to function well & I plan to convert it to a K341 Kohler single....have all the parts. Gonna be kind of my Guinnie Pig so to speak...tear into it & learn a few things. My D200 needs some adjustments as it creeps in park & when you press the brake it's anybodies guess? These are all simple adjustments with the standard Sundstrand equipted tractors...just D is a different animal all together. My boy already has grandad cutting some diamond plate aluminium for his work horse scooter to "pimp" it out Stephen in northern IN...in D school Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
