 Topic: A-C D-15 Restoration Complete
Posted: 04 Dec 2011 at 4:51pm |
Here are a few photo's of the last major project of the 2011 year because I will now be moving indoors and working on toy tractors till warmer temps next year. This is a 1962 D-15 owned by dpower off the A-C forum. I just finished it up Friday night this week and had it out in the snow a little today. It turned out pretty good, it seems to run really smooth and drives really nice also, fun little tractor I would like to have one myself one day.
Just wanted to share. Thanks.

It really looks great! Now I want one of them too! They look so nice in the snow, and your picture out over the fields is amazing.

Lookin good. I always liked the D15, maybe that is becuas I cut a pile of hay on one hooked to a Ford 535 Haybine

Amazing restoration. That is one SHARP looking tractor.
I always thought the D15 had an oval exhaust and lights on the rear fenders? Was there some carry over between the D14 and D15 that had the lights up front and the round exhaust??

I think my lights are on the fenders and i am sure it has oval exhaust. it is factory 3 point so i am guessing later model. Again beautiful restoration job.
