Barn find!!!!

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?

Well I tried to just download a picture from my phone that I took real quick. We’ll see if it downloads

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.

Welcome to forum and concretes on the find. Sounds like a neat deal

NICE!!

actually... sounds like win/win to me.

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.

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.. :(

Them pie weights are worth $4-500/set, around here...  Yep, you stole it!

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.

To hear it run after all those years is keeping me up at night!! But he needs to get those stupid sprayers out-of-the-way oh well I’ll be patient.

That would be a nightmare ....haha

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.
