Diesel Tractor

J. Schwiebert · Dec 25, 2013

I am working on an article on Diesel fuel systems. I need a picture of the oldest diesel tractor (or stationary power unit) I can find where the fuel system is mounted outside of the engine. I also posted this on the IH site. Thanks for any help and may you all have a Merry Christmas) J.

Caterpillar would have to be on the "short list" for that, I would think?

What I mean is you can see the injection pump and the fuel injectors. Early Cat, IH and Cletrac come to mind. Fuel system not visible would be the Detroit diesels.

How about a Man Ag 1906? Just about everything is exposed.

I was told by an old boy in Saskatchewan that IH WD-40 was the first production diesel wheel tractor, in the late 30's. He had about 20 of them. Said the injector pump was mostly iron, weighed about 75 lbs.

Lance Bulldog with the hot bulb ignition in 1921 sort of qualifies.
The Lance D7500 in 1935 was a true diesel with injection.
Deere waited until 1949 to release the R. Still a surprising number of them around in working condition.
