    Have I got a deal for you. Look in the less than 25hp tractor section. I'll post the pics here, since it's free, if I can figure it out.

    COLD MN

    We arrived in MN late last week. I decided to keep all of the 180 and attachments. The movers moved it all with the household goods on the truck. The day we arrived was the first day of that "clipper" bringing snow and frigid temperatures. The movers hastily unpacked around the PT hoping it...

    180 accessories

    I'll be moving soon from my 7 acre characteristic Appilacian lot to a much more mild 0.68 town lot outside of Rochester, MN. I won't be needing all the versitility of my PT 180 after the move and really don't know where I'd put all of the equipment, although the front loader may be usefull for...

    PT180 Oil Cooler

    I am planning on putting a hydraulic oil cooler on my 180. Given that the 180 is supposedly built not to need one, I am leaning toward one without a fan, maybe a motorcycle oil cooler. Any comments or suggestions? Also, I was wondering if somebody could post or send me a picture of how their...

    PT180 Trench digger

    Yesterday, I just received my trench digger. I had to get it out right away for a trial run. It didn't go too good. It started out well enough, but after a minute or so of running it decided to try to up and run away from my tractor! With the weight and awkward shape, it is a little...

    Dealer  JD equipment at car dealer

    I was at a Toyota dealership last week and saw a John Deer garden tractor with a mower, asnow blade, dumping wagon, and tow behind single plow with a disk. I expect that they were acquired as trade in. I haven't talked to them, yet. I don't suppose that they really want to sell the items...

    PT180 PTO Valve Assembly Leak

    I parked my PT180 after use today and when I returned to it noticed a puddle of oil under it. My investigation showed a leak coming from the PTO Valve Assembly. I got out my book and as far as I can tell, it is coming from a gasket between the "-8 Jic x -8 O-Ring x 90 Deg. Adpt." and the PTO...

    Other 50 hour maintance

    Along with all the other scheduled maintance, I did the greasing under the center plate. Once I removed the plate, I found that there was no grease fitting there. I went to the hardware store and got one, and when I was done, found out why there was no fitting. It's because the plate won't...
