Found some rear lights for my D160

Recommended Posts

I've been looking for a while. The bolt holes just line up and the wire is a little tight between the fender and light. No drilling though.

They were at Rural King. I think about three bucks each. Optronics MC42RS RED  Marker/Clearance.

I'd suggest soldering a separate ground wire to one of the grounding straps in those lamps - they will corrode around the rivets and lose the ground in pretty short order from humidity  . Scrape a small area , apply some flux and have at it with a good hot iron , but do it quickly to avoid melting the housing .

I've replaced the missing lamps on the D-180 with led units from a local trailer supply - they are nice and bright . The hard ones are the small recessed lamps on the front side of the rear fenders - I have yet to find an aftermarket replacement and may just use a generic surface mount lamp instead . I work a lot at night with my tractors - especially in the winter and prefer not to get hit again by a car in the dark , the lights on the front of the tractor were on but the driver didn't realize the distance to what was making that area light up . Didn't get hurt and the tractor just got one bent rear wheel but I'd rather not do that again . Plan to build an overhead bar and add my flood lamps there , along with flashing safety lamps to the D for night work .

      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?

      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

      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.
