Early model D160 issues?

Recommended Posts

Stike

I recently picked up a 1974 D160 in working but not great shape, over the years the headlights and gauges  were removed three point arm is bent and twisted, hoses for the three point are missing but were plugged, steering is loose and shift linkage is very sloppy. I think I have the shift linkage repaired will know for sure when I have time to put it back on and will try to locate missing items as finances allow. My question is what other known issues should I address to help prevent future problems? I've wanted a D series for a long time and so far I love it and want to fix it now for hopefully many more years service.

Thanks,

Mike

Make sure you inspect the hydro coupler, that is a weak area. And if you remove the transmission oil tubes use new o-rings and pay close attention to the way they are installed. They can be put in backward.

I found parts to be really tough to get, if you see something grab it. I sold my 160 a few years back and had a pretty good stock pike of stuff. Most all is gone now.
