D180 followed me home!

[FlatbedAndy 17]

D180 my latest horse. Not sure what I'll do with it yet. Tempted to install a Kohler 17 off of a 417H but open to Ideas and advise on weather the 17 would work. First thing I had to remove that "farmerized" hyd. lift from the rear. Tires go down. I have some 6 hole 15x8 implement wheels that fit. The steering wheel was flattened beyond repair, and I was able to get it off with a puller and lots of heat! I did learn that the splined shaft accepts an EZGO steering wheel, but I like something more "tractor like"

It is a D160 and from the look of the thing mounted on the pump coupling I might guess it had an Onan 16 twin.  I would take a close look at teh hydro before i went to far along.  If it was worked hard and treated to farmer treatment (some farmers maintain equip well but many tend to be occupied with other things. that may be an issue for you.

10-4 on the maintainance  , I know the axle pivot and the bell crank are worn (loose steering) an there's a fan under the seat that would blow on the oil lines, don't know if that's original.  Tag says: 91-160501-11108        8335    must've been a senior moment thinking it was a D180

The fan {partly visible in the 3rd pic} is original equipment, it should have a thermocouple switch wired in series, that clamps to the hydro manifold line.  Here is a picture of the one I am putting in my 23 Automatic.

The Horse just followed you home? A likely story from someone with WHA (Wheel Horse Addiction).

 

Did anyone believe your story?
