Fred you find the neatest tractors. That is the first narrow front D10 I have ever seen. Was it a mower for a school? Are you going to sell it or add it to your collection?

Fred,  You find the most unique equipment.  Narrow front D-10.  That must be the only one out there.  Looks like it is not too bad.  Will be very unusual and draw a lot of attention.   Very good job with the front end.  You know, it looks original.   Fred,  As I said before you find the damdest things.  That three point hitch is really great.  Is that an original Allis Chalmers set up?  I only sold the Series I.   You know, I can never see you name that I think of Uncle Bill.  What a wonderful man.  Was a real delight to know even if it was for a short time. Good Luck! Happy Thanksgiving! Bill Long

Where does the battery go now? What is all the bracing for on the left fender outside? Funny place to stick the tool box. 
 
 Was the mower controlled by a valve that varied the speed? Seems to be a large volume of oil for that application but I guess heat was concern.

That is an early C front end with the short arm on the steering. I'll bet the geometry makes it turn very sharp. That actually looks more like something factory done than when the long arm units are used.
  ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.  Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

That does look sharp as a nerrow front. Wounder how good the mower works. Not sure you would want to be out on hot days though sitting on hot hyd oil. Or bumpy field with out some kinda seat suspension

I like the narrow front. Looks like a half scale D15-D17. It would be a fun little chore tractor. Tom

That one NICE tractor and mower. I like the hydraulic drive, but I would need LOTS of padding on that seat. Congratulations, Fred, and Happy Thanksgiving.

 Fred, this is becoming a habit, you just gonna post a new D10 ya bought every couple years or so now? We had a sign in our high school locker room that stated, " Good luck is the result of hard work."  Finding this stuff is no accident, good job man!

     Quite a nice find. Never saw a mower run with a hydraulic motor like that. Looks like a good idea. Is that a factory set up?

  Did they tell you if the Optional TorqueTube Gears were set up as a 2 speed gear box, OR as a Reverser like an I-40?
