[@rickwalker7105]

Always a good idea if it works . Tire and rim new $ 75.00 .

[@rpeek]

Yea.... Now if only I could get the old ones off..

[@VintageTexas59]

@@rpeek I replace tires with the rim still mounted to the tractor using a saw saw, just cut across the top and peel the "skin" off, works great. No need taking the dang rusted rim of the axle Richard. 🤠

WOW what a deal clean that up n use it in the field at least u don't have to worry bout it braking and that's probably a koler moter good engine fix it up looks in pretty good shape yet..

[@rpeek]

Yes.

[@anthonycoach4551]

Oil the deck up the pulleys and stuff throw a belt on it and away you go and you got a nice tractor..

[@rpeek]

Yea.

[@billsmith1770]

the gt 275 has same engine as 180 and 185 hydro tractors . tractordata has a table to decode the date . just search jd 175 hydro , then choose tractordata . i have a jd 320 rider (originally water cooled kawasaki twin powered) that i swapped an fc540v from a 185 hydro onto , effectively turning it into a gt 275 . i love it . also have an lx 188 (still has the water cooled twin) , two lx 176s (same fc420v engines as your 175) and two 180s (fc540v) . the 14 hp fc420v and the 17 hp fc540v are my favorite engines . they're simple , and last forever .

[@rpeek]

Good to know. Season is coming and I need to spend some time with mine and get them all ready to cut grass again this year.

[@Bigdaddy1992.]

[@rpeek]

Oh...

[@anthonycoach4551]

Smokin a bit make sure you check the oil often.carb needs attention prob need a good cleaning it's moter boatn some..

[@rpeek]

@@rpeek Pss..replace the air-filter, usually a clogged filter makes the engine rpm up and down like that or adjust the mixture screw.

[@wtbm123]

Nuttin runs like a Deere! Did you buy Bill’s cart?

[@rpeek]

[@anthonycoach4551]
