A one owner 1963 D15 Series 2 DIESEL. Stored inside every night. Factory 3 point with top link. Engine rebuilt 10 years ago. Injectors and pump done 4 years ago. Runs great with no smoke. Original Nelson muffler. Downsides: lots of leaks, some dents, wiring is a mess and a lot of "farmer fixes" as I like to call them - some are shown below. Things will improve over time though. Owner #2 is getting acquainted with it, but likes it! Question for discussion: That toolbox on the left fender. I swear it is original, but it is shorter than others, with no hole in either end. Has anyone come across one like this?      The toolbox...  Farmer Fixes ...      ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

That short toolbox is for a D10/12 ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| That’s a nice score! So neat when you get original paperwork and service records along with the tractor too. Looks like the PO was religious about oil changes!! |

| thats almost as bad as my doner engine for my d17 when i fixed all the leakes on the pump and got all the cylinders doing all their work the blow by would push oil out the filler by the tune of going from full to add in about 2 minuts at idle,. i am the third owner but i should have inherited it any ways |

Most tractors did have the toolbox on the right side except when that space was needed for other things: like a D15 diesel battery box, or hydraulic console on a D17 series 4. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Didn't waste any time tearing into it. Tire chains - off. Homemade battery box - gone. Additional homemade supports for the 3 point hitch - gone. Homemade generator support - gone (served no purpose). Big tool box on left frame rail - gone (man, that thing was heavy!). Creative seat cushions - gone. Homemade liquid containment devices also gone. Additional homemade light wiring - gone (and very sketchy). Starter is out and getting rebuilt. Battery cables were undersized and had no insulation in some places. No wonder it would not start worth a damn! Don't get the wrong idea, it's not getting restored. Just how I like all my tractors: safe, reliable and presentable.    ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Does anyone have a picture of how the fuel is supposed to get from the sediment bowl to the primary filter? Series 1 is different. Oddly enough the AGCO parts website only shows series 1 and it seems the only manuals I can find are for Series 1s. I want to get rid of that electric pump. I figure there should at least be a hand primer somewhere, but I don't know where it would go. Appreciate any insight!  ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Congrat's on your new toy Myron! Oil leaks are good! They keep the rest of the Tractor from rusting. Pretty HD Generator bracket! Looks like a grill guard but for a Gennie.  Nice find! Enjoy!
