I wanted to take a quick informal poll of all those out there who might have a 1927, 1928, or 1929 John Deere model D.
I'm currently restoring my 1928 (SN 56748) and I'm curious as to whether or not my fenders are correct to this tractor. I have tried searching several sources and even spoken to Kevin over at Detwilers, and I'm starting to think that my fenders are not correct.
In the parts catalog (PC0658) there are two types shown:
What I call the "Fat Rib" similar to item 1A.
And the "Skinny Rib" similar to item 1C.
It looks like the break point of the "Fat Rib" to "Skinny Rib" fenders happened around late 1928 or early 1929.
So I ask, those who have a 1927, 1928, or 1929 model D, what type of fenders do you have? Is there a defined break point for one type to the other? If you can, include your serial number to better understand when this change might have happened.
Thanks for everyones help
