Just wanted to say that I had a great time meeting Scott (whfan74) and his father in leesburg today.(Saturday) Talked and looked at tractors for a couple of hours today, could have spent all day their, what great people they are. Cant wait for the meet n greet in October at there place.

Wanted to post pic's of my new, to me, D200 that I picked up from Scott and his father today.

This makes my herd at three, 1-18 auto( being totally restored) , 1- D 160 and now a D 200. I will be looking for a D 180 in the future to complete my collection. Babble babble get to the pic's, here they are

I asked the same question to Scott, we believe that what is on there is the gear that powered the pump(chain drive) to the back hoe that was attached to this machine.? Not possitive.

Does any one know if the tool box mounted is a wheel horse original, where they installed from the factory?

Thanks.

I was told this was an original loader / backhoe tractor. Since there are no aux. hydraulics, mid lift and 3 point, I would say it was.

John,

It was great getting a chance to chat with you today as well. You are more than welcome to come hang out in the barn any time. There always seems like there is something going on or someone stopping by.

We hope you enjoy the tractor. It has sure made the rounds with some Red Square members. I am sure they will chime in if they see this post.

Looking forward to seeing you in October John, and hopefully sooner!

It actually road really well for such a small trailer, did bounce a little over some r/r crossings in north manchester they were pretty rough.

If I could find ahoe I would love to put one on.

Might build my own if I really want one????

Thanks for the replys.

I like those Ds! Like Van, I can't seem to make up my mind on whether I want one or not. Here in NC, they aren't exactly common- so that has also had a great deal to do with why I don't have one. They (160, 180, and 200) sure do look cool though.

Congrats on getting another member to your herd!

Nice! I like the side mounted gas tank. Looks like it might make for a good arm rest. I heard that Wheel Horse sold side mounted took boxes for certain models. Not sure if it was a factory or dealer mod. Anybody?

I myself have seen two D series with backhoes, and they had the gas tanks mounted on the side.

This is one of the ones I saw in person. I might also add that it sold for $5200 on ebay..

I do want a backhoe at some point in time, very hard to find though. I dont think I have ever seen one in person :eusa-think:

The weight of this D 200 is unknown at this time, I have all original manuals for the D series but dont recall seeing anything about the weight. :confusion-scratchheadblue:

Maybe I will get the wifes scales out and weight it. :hide: Dont tell. :silence: :laughing-lettersrofl:

      GT14/D series lift cylinder modification
      By tractorboy79
      I was looking around on ebay and noticed that hydraulic actuators from John Deere 312, 317, etc models appear to be Identical to a Gt14 or d series lift cylinder. My question is would a new cylinder from ebay be able to replace one that is on a gt14 or d series?
       
      Images below of cylinders to show similaritys.

      HELP! D-Series Clutch
      By BuffaloD200
      '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?

      D-Series One Wheel Peel
      By BuffaloD200
      Hey all, 
       
      My '74 D180 has a lot of trouble pushing snow.  Weighted tires, but nothing else at this time.  I've found it gets stuck frequently and only one wheel spins.  Do these tractors not have a limited slip/locker arrangement?  How does everyone manage with the infamous one wheel peel?

      D series Belt Replacement
      By BuffaloD200
      Hey all, I need to install a drive belt on my 75 D180 for my snowblower.  I've looked through a bunch of D-series owner's manuals, and none seem to mention replacement procedure.  The PTO pulley is fixed, save for engaging the PTO and there is minimal movement at the snowthrower pulley. There's no idler or tensioner as far as I can tell.  Do I have to remove the PTO pulley?  That seems to be a required service item.
      Same question for my 80 D200 as well really.  
       
      Using the recommended 4L490W belt.
       
      Thanks

      Governor for a D-180
      By ihatephones
      I got a D-180 for $250, and the governor is messed up, the points won't open or close, and I took it apart and was being stupid and messed some stuff up in there, and now I need a new one.
      Where can I get one that's not on eBay for $200?
      I also forgot to say it was a Kohler K482, and I'll throw some pictures of the tractor in as a treat.
