I wasn't really sure how to title this. Basically, a guy that has the family farmstead, collects farm related "stuff". Tractors, balers, power wagons, spreader, etc, etc, ETC!

If he has one he has at least three. It all just sits out in an open field. Amongst all of it are two D-21's. Not sure what vintage,,,, can't get close enough. The guy is half a bubble off of full plumb. I've known the family for many years. The rest of them are all nice. And they all have a retraining order against them to not show up on the property. Yea, really.

So what I'd like to know, if it's even possible, is there anything common on what, if anything that fails on these big monsters? It was such a shame to see them there.

Any and all input appreciated.

They weren't any too strong in the final drives/bull gear area. Bad enough at 127 HP. Even worse at 160 HP. More weight usually means more problems.

OK, thanks.

I don't live in that area anymore, but I do go down there on occasion. I've never approached him about them, but it's seems that it's now time to do that. It will be interesting how he responds. We know each other, but still...........
