The GT1800 is a Garden Tractor and except for the Briggs motor, it is the same as a 400 series and all attatchments will fit.

As varosd said, same as a 400 but with a B&S and 1" axles but that's no biggie. Same attachments. I bought a GT1100 in 1985 brand new for $800. It had a 11hp B&S and I figured I'd just replace the B&S with a Kohler when it broke but it never did.....even after submerging it in a pond one winter when the ice broke. I had plenty of attachments for my other Wheel Horses that fit and that GT1100 was a great machine.

Actually its a 1 1/8" axle same as my 1988 520-H, same Eaton 1100 tranny, hubs are part # 105763-03

The Work Horse series was only available for two years (1983-1984) and I dont think they were a big seller compared to the same machine with a Kohler under the hood. So that makes them a bit harder to come by than a 300 or 400 series machine. But dont be fooled into thinking that harder to find equals worth more money, thay actually sell for less than a comparable machine with a Kohler.

  I have a GT-1600 (originally a Briggs 16 twin) thats been re-powered with a Kohler magnum 10.

Thank's for correcting me. That's all the better for you rj24. Were all the hydros 1 1/8"?

[varosd 1,185]

And after getting my Work horse running, EricJ noted that the Eaton 1100 in the Work Horses had the Toro Consumer 108320
GEAR 22T DRIVE just like the later 520-HC.  My 1988 520-H has the 20 T gear.   The Work horse is a lot faster!!

 

Rj24: clean her up, change all the fluids and filters and you should have nice rig.

Do you mean transmission oil? If so it should use 10w-30 or 10w-40. When you pull the dipstick and you should see clean motor oil, not automatic transmission fluid.

[rj24 38]

i was told by toro it was universal hydro and tranny oil it has 10w-30 with a additive in it and i cant fin it here

[rj24 38]

That was a 60" deck and its for the 520's with forward swept front axles, so no, it wont work with your GT-1800. Biggest you can use is a 48" attach-a-matic era deck. Thats means a deck built from 1973 to present.

[rj24 38]

so  can you show me on that will work

[gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,031]

Here are the manuals for the 48" deck sold in 1984 for the GT-1800 Twin. There are other decks that will fit. Gives you an idea of what's required.

 

This 42" rear discharge deck will also fit
