Well, the D19 looks a lot better from the back then the front! Still, it looks like the parts are all there, just a lot of work to put her all together again.

Looks like the typical D19 turbo diesel....motor problems so it was torn down only to find that parts are expensive, or couldn't find anyone to work on the engine....or possibly a bad head or block. Another problem is with the transmission, of course you can't diagnose that for sure unless you can drive it. I'd say the D19 is worth more as a parts tractor...tires look decent.

No doubt that restoring this D-19 would be a major project. My BIL has been wanting to restore it for a few years now but since he lives in Seattle I didn't see him doing it any time soon. I did make sure he was ok with me selling it since all of this equipment belonged to his father.

The story goes that when the engine went bad the farmhand removed it and started to disassemble it and then they just quit working on it. I can't say for sure if the block and head are good but there are no obvious cracks, etc. As far as the transmission, it was still good when the engine died. The tires were flat when I tore the barn down in November. I had to air them up so I could move it then and they are still holding air now.

That's pretty sad. You would have thought they would have at least put the motor parts in the barn or covered them up. Turbo's probably ruined. Block would be OK. Valve rocker shaft is probably toast. Crank could be ground if it's not too pitted. Could be saved, would be better for parts.

Looks like a great project for some ambitious soul! Hope someone on here buys it and then posts pictures of the rehab.

I am hoping someone here can tell me what these are for. I found them in the metal carrier pictured. I'm just curious to know if they go with any of the AC equipment. Thanks
