| I was talking to a friend the other day if he said that his brother-in-law’s renting a house in the way in back of the barn he found what he thought was a D15...!!! It has ended up being a D 15 series 2 narrow front with power steering !!!! I went over and took a look at it the engine is Free there’s no rust except for the Rims of course tires are newer. The guy never sells anything and the guy renting the house said won’t happen. So I met with the gentleman and talk to him for quite some time told him that I had saved my neighbors 57 wide front WD 45 from the scrapyard and rebuild it. He seemed to really appreciate that and we agreed-upon $800! He said under the circumstances that I do not sell to make money and after I fix it up he gets to come rake hay... no brainer Also told me the power director was just rebuilt a couple years before they stopped using it it has not moved in 20 years. I really need to figure out how to post pictures so I can document it. |

| Well it’s the first time I did not let my emotions of want rather than need to get in the way and I just simply said all the things I’m gonna have to do to it in order to make it how I want it .. If he was cool with it he said he would rather see me fix it up and than rot in the barn... Are the narrow front Series2 not common because I don’t see a whole Lotta pictures of them? Can you post pictures from your phone or does it have to be a computer? |

Posting pictures is easy. Resize your picture to 800x600, then click on the picture of the tree in the upper row of the message window. Select "BROWSE", then follow it to your picture, click UPLOAD, then OKAY. ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |

| One thing I’ve found, is if the pictures are too big, I can take a screenshot (by pushing the home and power button on my iPhone at the same time) and it will work. I’ve done that for two forums and if I need to text a picture. I’m sure there’s other ways to make a picture smaller, but that works for me. |

actually... sounds like win/win to me. tractor was doing him no good in the barn, and now he gets $800 and later he gets to play on a tractor that someone else invested time and money on. ------------- 3 Ford 8N's I loan to neighbors, but the '52CA, '41B and little B1 I do not. |

Great deal and it'll be good having the guy around that owned the tractor for years to tell you about it.Maybe he has some old pictures of it too? |
Posted By: Jk chalmers
Date Posted: 24 Apr 2018 at 8:13am
| Yes he does he can’t remember where fits him or his dad in either 64 65 cultivating a field . The tractor only ever cultivated planted fields or cleaned up pig crap. |

Sell the loader for $500. Then what do you have invested? Wow!!! Good for you! ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

| Well I don’t know ....I’ve got a 170 trip bucket loader off my D 17 Series 4 and I can’t give the thing away.. :( |
Posted By: Jk chalmers
Date Posted: 24 Apr 2018 at 9:59am
Trying to sell it as well because I have another series 4 with the loader that they bought and barely used so even though it’s not AC it’s the better of them.

Yep, you stole it! Wish you were closer I would be coming to get the loader to put on my D15. Is the loader trip bucket or full hydraulic? ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| Well how far are you... it’s trip bucket but I see no welds. If you’re not too far I’ll make you a good deal. |

Excellent job! You're quite the Hornswoggler, JK! In all seriousness, I'm happy for you and the agreement! ------------- 1939 Allis-Chalmers "B" restored in 2010- very good condition. |

I know the feeling. I finalized the deal on my B last July, late in the month. I wasn't able to pick it up until the first week of September that summer. I was a very long August. ------------- 1939 Allis-Chalmers "B" restored in 2010- very good condition. |

Better keep that loader for awhile till the original owner stops coming over... or it might leave a sour taste in somebody's mouth ... specially when you get half out of the loader what you paid for the tractor. ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

| Back Rims two new front tires and TLC... It has 650 15’s on it I was thinking to go a little smaller unless that is the tire size originally? Speak up if anyone knows thanks |

 update!! Finally got new to me back rim on and new tube got the essentrics torched broke free and no seased the crap out of em new points and coil. I had spare front 16 rims and one spare 5.50 16 bought another new one it had the Heavy duties with the 65o 16 and I did not like the look of that size.. Even though I’m sure they have them on there because of the loader. So I finally got to drive it down the road and test out all the gears and everything seems a rock solid so to say I’m excited is a understatement...

| I hope you see fit to give it new fluids.It will love fresh oils throughout. |
Posted By: Jk chalmers
Date Posted: 06 Jun 2018 at 5:31am
| Changed oil i Hydro and transmission had clean fluids.. Like they did it right before they put it in the barn I’m guessing. |

| Keep in mind,something that sat still that long would likely have have settled contaminates in oil making them look clean. |

Just goes to show there are some real good items still out there. Not many but this one sure is. GREAT FIND!!! Good Luck! Bill Long |

| Yeah for sure good point that’s why I ran it for a while and then checked everything and it’s all still clean but when I get the opportunity I will still probably change it out. I’ve got to D 17 Siri’s fours that I love but I’m falling in love with the D 15 series 2 Without compact and low to the ground it is |

 well still working and running amazing The hand clutch must’ve been rebuilt before it sat in the barn for 20 years because it’s as tight as I’ve ever felt one!!
