Finally got my d21 Series I from Canada

Very nice! I still can't get over how nice D21's look!!

Nice looking tractor. I would keep it original.

nice tractor where did it come from in Canada? there was one just like that one around the corner from me,I went to see it but it was gone,just curious if thats the one.

Looks aewsome im even excited. Vern can be a real pistol. You just have to threaten him a few times and he will abide.

Glad to see you finally got it, Jason.  Know you've been working on the delivery for quite some time.  Next time you have one of your "shows" I'll have to come up and drive it.  Dave

That's one cool looking tractor!

Well the tractor was for sale on yesterdays tractors almost 2 years ago. I contacted him and he informed me it was a one owner tractor and was very original. So we settled on a price and he told me i had to do a direct deposit to his bank from my bank. I told him that i have never done that before and that the check i send will be good and that he could cash it right away since i had to wait for the tractor to be delivered. Well he did not like this but ended up telling me to send him a check. He also told me that he had sold several oliver tractors to a collector in Iowa and that my tractor would be hauled their with those tractors for around 450 dollars which i thought was a fair price. Well he cashed my check and told me my tractor would be shipped within a month. Well the month went by and nothing. So i emailed and called him and he assured me that the trucking company would come to get it. I called the company and they told me they would get getting it soon to ship with the other tractors to Iowa. I asked them if they wanted me to mail them a check and they told me to mail it to Vern which i did. Well then over a year goes by with constant responses from Vern telling me the trucking company could not come out to his place because the snow as too deep or he was not home. Well finally my tractor was loaded up with the other tractors and taken to Winnipeg. Well they sat their for a long time because vern would not give them the money we had gave him to pay for the shipping to Iowa. So the tractors sat their for months and i had constant emails telling Vern he needed to pay the trucking company. Finally the money was paid and our tractors were shipped. I then contacted Sparky(He is the oliver collector in Iowa that had purshased some oliver tractors from Vern and my tractor was getting shipped to his place with those tractors and my trucker would head over to his place to get my tractor to bring back to nebraska. Well Sparky informes me that the trucker dropped off his olivers and a farmall tractor but no D21 allis. Sparky told the truck that this was not right and the trucker told him that he had dropped my d21 off by mistake in Wisconsin and the farmall was suppose to go to Wisconsin. The trucker pretty well told Sparky tough luck. When i called the trucking company they told me the same thing. So then I had to contact the gentleman in Wisconsin who was very cool and in a few months he went to Iowa and dropped of my D21 and a Massey tractor that had been dropped off at his place. Sparky told me that he had no idea who the Massey belong to and he agreed with me that we were lucky to tractors out of this deal. So any way the tractor is original but what a hassel to deal with. Most tractor people are honest but there are a few you have to watch. Again I happy with the tractor just the stress of wondering if you will ever get it sucks.

What a story behind it. Respect for the patience you've had with this D21. Glad that you have it now. It's a very nice looking 21.

Our series II

Sending all the money without receipt of goods? You are a much more trusting person than I am.

looks great  Jason.  I also would let it original way above average.  I have all your pieces cut and ready to weld together I just need to DO it!!  ha ha Sorry for the delay.  are you coming to the shop any time soon?

Thanks again!

Andrew

Dave,you have alot of wisdom for such a young fella.

way back most of the cabs were not factory cabs, they were made by other companys and then mounted later so the cabs are not Allis Chalmers. The factory cabs to me look nice and I would never remove them.
