Have been working on a D19 gas for the estate of a friend. It appears that the engine is bad and needs overhaul. Looking through my parts catalogs, it seems like parts are not readily available for these engines. It seems like a tractor of the D19 size should have a diesel engine instead! Would a diesel motor from a D17 or D19 bolt right in place or the gas engine? Someone has mentioned that the engine from the D19 was also used in some Gleaner combines. Which model Gleaner would that be? There were probably more Gleaner combines built with that engine than D 19 tractors!
Other than a repower, it would seem that the tractor will end up in a salvage yard which seems a shame. It would make a good loader tractor for someone if a loader could be found! Any thoughts on the value of a D19?
