 Topic: My new d21
Posted: 22 Aug 2020 at 8:29pm |
Just got my new d21 a few days ago and have been working on it a ton. Hasn’t ran in 8 years give or take. All the sheet metal was butchered but came with good metal and hood. The turbo was broke at the base so just got that and put new turbo on. Waiting on the elbow and the oil line kit for turbo. Have changed all the fluids and even took cover off rear end it has a little more back lash then would like but will get to that. I would really like to get it all painted up and redone. Have wanted one of these since I was eight and my grandparents got me and ertl model. Will keep posted as I go on and hopefully have running in a week.

Chase that dream and by the way keep us posted on the progress. Especially pictures. Always liked that model and era too.

Looks like it's got potential! I would lose that muffler right away and go with a straight pipe. Mufflers create back pressure which prevents the turbo from doing what it is supposed to do. While you are going through it, I recommend jacking up the front axle and checking the drop spindles for wear. I had to get new spindles made for mine since the old ones were no longer round, the bushings were worn through as well. Another question: How many steering cylinders does yours have?

It had two extras one on each side. It only has main on now. The two back steering cylinder supports where cut off and a random cylinder put inside I’m going to have to fix that. And the wishbone bolt I guess you’d call it is wobbled our pretty good so need to fix that

That project should keep you out of the pool halls for a few weeks!

That is interesting statement about wanting one since you were a kid. The tractor that got me started into this larger tractor hobby was a metal scale modle of a Ford 601 tractor. I played with it as a little kid at my Great Uncle Bailey. Loved that toy tractor. When I saw this Jubilee I have now I just had to have the "big" toy! Great pictures of your tractor. I agree that the muffler doesnt look right but I am not a good judge of these. They sure look like a HOSS! Congratulations! Looks like your right into it. Take your time, get the mechanical things in order and the top coat will come along fine! Regards, Chris
