Well judging by the title you may have thought you would be seeing 2 literal orange horses, nope; you may have have thought you would be viewing 2 d21's or 210's or other disirable muscle tractors. Sorry, im just posting some pics of my 58 d17, and my 74 175. Both of which are gassers. First i want to say thanks to some of the people for helping me out in my trails and tribulations. Thanks to Gary(WI) for selling me a crank for the D17. And thanks to d17brown for selling me lots of parts and over the phone assistance. On with pics.
First is the 175 as i found it sitting beside a barn, waiting for me to buy it.
 Next is the D17 i purchased with a blown motor. Runs good now
 Mangled loader frame by previous owner :(
 And heres the 175 as she sits today. It seems to run very well also. Did some hydraulic work to it, changed fluids, etc. Yea the rims are rusty but its all there and straight. Note the chrome muffler i found along the road, sounds good actually; fell off some beamer.
   Hope you enjoy, i sure am.
