I've got the rivets showing through on the clutch brake for my d-180. Toro says the part is NLA. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but how can I replace the friction material so I don't damage anything since I now have metal touching metal? Doesn't seem like rocket science, but I'm not sure where to start.

I know OSHA wouldn't approve,but whenever I have one worn down to the rivets,I take it off and toss it in the scrap metal can.I'm the only operator here and I know enough not to get off the tractor and stick any part of my body where they don't belong.Plus,I'm old and slow and everything is usually done spinning by the time I get off the tractor.

I got a new brake band lining from Robert Maynard who frequents on here alot. I went to his ebay page and ordered one. It came quickly. I took the band off, removed what was left of the liner material, wire wheeled the brake band down to bare metal on the inside. Instructions say to use zip ties or rubber bands, i used a small coffee can to wrap it around and pulled it tight. I used Goop brand all purpose adhesive and went in a "s" pattern with the glue. I let it set untouched for a full 2 days. It probably wouldve been fine overnight but I was busy with the family. I reinstalled it, adjusted to my satisfaction and works great !

Guys, this is just a very small “L” shaped bracket with a piece of braking material maybe an inch and a half in length and a half inch in width riveted to the outer edge. It presses up against the inside of the PTO pulley when the clutch is released to stop the spinning pulley. (and subsequently, the mower blades or snowblower auger. Gluing a new piece on makes sense. But where does one purchase a flat piece of braking material like this?

      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.
