I dream of owning a complete set of rare D model tractors. Any opinions on how these models would be listed in terms of most desirable and reasons why? I am thinking of the spoker, DI, nickel and streeter. Thanks

Production in 32 and 33 was lower because of the economy then. There are going to be less and less of any of the early Ds because many times it takes 2 to 4 tractors to make one good one. Some say the corn borer control Ds aren't rare but how many early Ds do you see with a PTO ? Also those tractors were all worked very hard and the survival rate was not as good with many being completely worn out and scrapped or parted out later. Starting to see reproduction flywheels so now finding one with original parts on it will be a challenge also. So be sure to check the serial number well and get yourself a unstyled and styled D parts books. Many D parts interchange between early ones and later 31-53 Ds. Lots of early D info in J.R. Hobbs unstyled letter series tractors book and recent articles in Two Cylinder magazine also. One each of the Ds with revised experimental parts on them, revision A & B might be nice to have also if you can find an original one. Turning brakes were not common on Ds and harder to find also. Also some more D pics and info from Oklahoma Two Cylinder club.

Might want to throw in a DO, and there was a year I believe 1933 or so that was a low production. Wasnt there a D lindeman crawler? Turning brake D"s. How about the centennial celebrations 1937 gold leaf D.

The highest ranking ie most desireable/rarest would be on of the first 50 made with the fabricated front axel.
Then a26"spoker, 24"spoker.
