A one owner 1963 D15 Series 2 DIESEL.  Stored inside every night.  Factory 3 point with top link.  Engine rebuilt 10 years ago.  Injectors and pump done 4 years ago.  Runs great with no smoke.  Original Nelson muffler.  Downsides:  lots of leaks, some dents, wiring is a mess and a lot of "farmer fixes" as I like to call them - some are shown below.  Things will improve over time though.

Owner #2 is getting acquainted with it, but likes it!

Question for discussion:  That toolbox on the left fender.  I swear it is original, but it is shorter than others, with no hole in either end.  Has anyone come across one like this?







The toolbox...

That short toolbox is for a D10/12
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.

D Series

I think I still have the Tool Box from my D-12 around somewhere.

I'll check when I'm back home.

WF Owner may have one as well.

That’s a nice score! So neat when you get original paperwork and service records along with the tractor too. Looks like the PO was religious about oil changes!!

Maybe different than gas but my tool box is on the right fender, don't have that big battery box on a gas.

Most tractors did have the toolbox on the right side except when that space was needed for other things:  like a D15 diesel battery box, or hydraulic console on a D17 series 4.

Didn't waste any time tearing into it.  Tire chains - off.  Homemade battery box - gone.  Additional homemade supports for the 3 point hitch - gone.  Homemade generator support - gone (served no purpose).  Big tool box on left frame rail - gone (man, that thing was heavy!).  Creative seat cushions - gone.  Homemade liquid containment devices also gone.  Additional homemade light wiring - gone (and very sketchy).

Starter is out and getting rebuilt.  Battery cables were undersized and had no insulation in some places.  No wonder it would not start worth a damn!  Don't get the wrong idea, it's not getting restored.  Just how I like all my tractors: safe, reliable and presentable.
