We bought the 180 about 1990 for $1500. We needed another fairly heavy tractor to pack silage while making corn silage in our bunker silos and this one was available. Later I added the loader. The only money I have spent on it was for a new radiator and last year an electric fuel pump. Runs great! Once years ago and and in a far back field it got to coughing and spitting. I took the carb off in the field and got that cleaned up but the gasket fell apart. I cut a new gasket out of the seat with my pocket knife. The D-17, I bought last fall. I immediately added a factory 3-point from a salvage yard. It used too much oil when we got to running it a little harder this spring, so we ended up buying and installing a rebuilt engine this summer. It's in perfect running condition now. ------------- Kindest regards, F. W.
