Man, that thing looks like just a bit of work and away it'll go. But 40 years IS a long time. Good luck, and give us periodic updates. steve

Very nice........

Edison Splitdorf Type Magneto....One of my Ds has the same mag...

Tractor looks VERY complete and not physically abused..

The chains that drive the rear axles have a very unique way of tightening them..

Good looking machine..

I'd love to find a D like that.

Suppose that's the original work clothes?? If so that's a really nice find. Looks like the original tires. Probably not a ton of hours on it.

When I see old tractors like that, I imagine how proud the new owner was when he got it. I am sure he is happy you are going to save it!!!

That style of Firestone front tires always looks so nice. What are your plans for it? Tractor pulls, maybe?

I wish i'd found that. That's going to be fun. Share your progress with us as you go!
