I think they are a pretty neat power unit, but never understood why J.D. collectors value them so highly. Ive been to auctions where an incomplete regular ''W'' (not a Pure Oil version) would bring more than a nice running ''D'' tractor.

I guess for some production numbers and ''rarity'' come into play, but give me the self-propelled, plow pulling version I can sit on and drive around over something that sits on a trailer any day!
 
First you begin by sawing the crankcase/tranny tub in half, tapping some holes into that new surface and making a bolt-on plate to block it off and hold the oil in the shortened sump. Then you gotta fashion a front engine support to fit where the front axle used to mount.

Probably a few other minor issues....
