stolmar 35 #2 Posted October 6, 2020 No. The D 250 is a different animal all together. Nothing is interchangable between the d160/180/200 and the d250 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,168 #3 Posted October 6, 2020 Might clarify --- any deck from the D family will fit -- and I think? several of the other models will also fit with minor modification. Maybe one of the more knowledgeable members can verify that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EscobarsRestoration 0 #5 Posted October 6, 2020 I heard there might be an interchange kit available. Really not sure. Any help appreciated. John E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stolmar 35 #6 Posted October 7, 2020 I have never heard of a interchange kit for the D's but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Same thing applies to @pacer comment. I was told many years ago that the D250 was exclusive to it's own implements. Maybe @pfrederi or @953 nut or one of the other experts on this forum could help us with this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 6,991 #7 Posted October 7, 2020 Tractordata web site says that the D-250's were built by another company in Germany. That explains the 4 banger Renault engine and maybe a different attachment system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,033 #8 Posted October 7, 2020 Click on the fuzzy picture to see notes on this The 109091 kit is no longer available. I'm wondering if you have a wasted deck if the mounting hardware off it would fit on one of the decks listed so it could be put back into service. The service bulletin implies that back in the day you could build a new deck with the kit since the original decks were no longer produced. The decks suggested are the 48" decks used on the C-Series tractors so should be many available. The D-250 10-Speed was imported from Germany The D-160 Auto, D-180 Auto and D-200 Auto is what the service bulletin is about. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,033 #9 Posted October 7, 2020 There has to be members that have both a D-Series Auto and a C-Series with mower decks. We need one of them to chime in on the deck differences and possibly they could tell us if the hardware swap will work. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,168 #10 Posted October 7, 2020 Garry, that is just what I was referring to earlier in this post -- taking some - or all - hardware off the D frame and adapting to one of the many C versions. IIRC .... which is not so good, I think I did this several years back when I had a badly rusted D frame but all else was good ---- or maybe was the other way round ....
