If your cables are getting hot, you have a bad connection. Unfasten the ends & scrape or sand them until they are shiney.

Hi
I may have bitten off more than I can chew.I now think that my tractor is a Landhope, which is different from a TU, it has a flat chassis which the engine and gearbox are bolted onto. The manual I have looks like it is for a TU 1600 which does,nt have the chassis.Anyway I should be able to separate the gearbox and then lift the engine out. The engine is marked K3D 37205, it also has K3D-D11G 16 on . On the block is stamped K3D 0.979l.
Does this mean anything to anyone?

The K3D is ude in the TU160,165,170,175, & 177.

Does it look like this Roy?

Hi Yes it looks exactly like the picture, except the side panels where it says Landhope 180 are missing on mine.
I assumed mine was a 160 because the engine mark is K3D 37205, K3D-D11G 16. and I thought the 16 meant 16hp hence 160.
What year is yours?

I wish I new what year it was but sadly I don't know. From what I have gathered it is a TU 180F. The f being for four wheel drive and the 180 being 18 hp. I have mostly used it for rototilling and plowing snow so far. I really like it, but am a little nervous about when it comes time to find parts.

Hi Loeonard
I got the engine out Ok.I took the clutch housing off to see why the clutch would,nt disengage.I unbolted the clutch plate from the flywheel, it came away no problem, the plates are good, the yoke moves freely on the splines, so I cant see why it would,nt disengage. I know the tractor had been laid up a long while,do you think that just by unbolting it from the flywheel freed it up?

My TS 1610 has a clutch lock out so the plate cannot stick to the flywheel.

My 180 also has a clutch lock out that I always use when the tractor is not in use!
