'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Is there an unpublished step 3.5, or some trick?

A long long time ago there was a thread here about which wheel horse would be on your "wanted hit list".
One of them was a GT-14 which thanks to Neil, one came my way.. A great machine which has now moved to pastures new..
The other I'm sure you can guess from the title was a D-200
Nigel bought this machine from Harry with the thought of changing the engine (which had a knock according to the bloke Harry bought it from), to something a bit different..
Then Nigel made the mistake of saying something along the lines of "I expect you will end up owning the D eventually". Which got me thinking
A bit of a play with the wiring (The PTO switch had been badly by-passed) and the engine had a spark, and a temporary gravity fed fuel tank sorted out the fuel side of things..
Much to Nigel and my surprise the engine fired right up and sounded good with sign of any knocking sounds!
The trans is a bit noisy but that may sort it's self out with a bit of use as the Big D hadn't been used in a very long time..
A few photo's for you..
And of course a video.... I hope to get an engine running and driving vid edited today, but for now here's an intro vid..
The D gets better each time she is driven. The engine always starts first time every time
Speaking of the engine, a new vacum fuel pump was fitted so I could get rid of the "tank on a plank" that was clamped on the front and use the D's original tank..
The engine was also missing a cover, so I quickly folded one up from a bit of sheet steel.. Not pretty but does the job.
The D's first official duty, carting some steel panels up from the scrap pile

Howdy everyone,
Im new to tractor restoration and my first restoration project i want to do is my Wheel Horse D-200. I have no clue where to start on the project and was wondering if any of you had any pointers for a beginner restorer.
The picture is my D-200 as it sits now more or less.

I have a 1999 314-8. It never starts on the 1st try whether it is hot or cold outside. It always starts immediately on the 2nd try. Is there anything I should be checking/fixing or is this just typical of a 18 year old tractor. The hour meter reads about 350 hours.
If the tractor is stopped and restarted during mowing/plowing, it will start on the first try.
This is my first tractor, so no response is too obvious...
