bottjernat1 2,190 #1 Posted August 11, 2020 So here pretty soon I am going to be trying to buy a snow blade and 3 point for my 1976 d-160. One question I have is I have 2 levers Im guessing one is for the lift for a deck.mid belly blade,and mower deck. Is there another hydraulic cylinder for the 3 point I need before i buy a 3 point? Or does 1 cylinder do it all? Does anyone have good photos so I have something to guide me in the right direction? Also a different question What in the world can i do different for a fuel pump. I keep having to prime my Onan 2929e. The filter i added always looks empty even when its running. I rebuilt the pump and carburetor. After I prime it she runs perfect. Any photos would be super helpful. Thanks everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,795 #2 Posted August 11, 2020 The three point will have its own cylinder and will need to be plumbed to the control valve. You should be looking for a 8-5422 kit but your best bet is going to try and find a boneyard machine that has one on it as I would bet they are getting rare. Later and earlier parts may work as well. Study the manual attached. On the fuel issue you can try three things A check valve in line A new diaphragm fuel pump A electric fuel pump which is a guaranteed cure.

Pullstart 62,803 #3 Posted August 11, 2020 Primer bulbs have come up here a few times... they have a check valve inside too I believe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,674 #8 Posted August 11, 2020 very hard to get pictures of a D series 3 point hydraulic cylinder and hook up as the are in a pretty darn near inaccessible location. Even worse if you have an easy ride seat and rear PTO...add a FEL subframe and I have never really seen my cylinder.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,168 #9 Posted August 11, 2020 Lotta pieces here, but amazingly there is some one on the bay has what appears to be the complete set up. Pricy, at $400 but has free ship which would be a big bonus. Go to search and put in --- 1974 Wheel Horse D-180 Tractor Hydraulic 3 Point Lift 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just need the attachments and cylinder. Thanks for this photo! I am a photo guy. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bottjernat1 2,190 #12 Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Ok another question I have quit a few hydraulic cylinders for the john deere 300 series front snow blades. Might those be the same hydraulic cylinders? They look alot alike! May someone have the length of the cylinder and the shaft size? Then I can compare what i have. I have a guy i am going to donate a cylinder to for his 317 snow blade. Just to be a nice guy. He has helped me so i help him.

8ntruck 6,991 #13 Posted August 11, 2020 Your fuel filter looks like the one I am using on my 14-8 no name. I have it mounted so that the exit end is lower than the entrance side. This way the air bubble remains above the outlet of the filter. Even though the filter is not full of gas, the exit side is always submerged. So far, I have not had any priming issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dad bought up a guys deere parts collection right before he died. So I have a few deere parts. I just thought it needed a better filter then the cheapy red ones I use all the time. The carb is a little more pricey to repair. LOL I buy the stupid red ones in bulk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
