Here's a few pictures of a D-15 I've been working off and on for the past couple of months. It's been hard to keep on it with harvest going on and lots of other stuff also. I just got it wired up and the rest of the connections needed to fire it up today and get it moving agian. Did some work to it such as replacing and repacking the front wheel bearings which were shot, replaced the back PTO seal, and had one axle assembly off to replace a final drive seal and clean up the breaks. Cleaned it up some and shot some paint on it next. The grill needed some straigthening and some tack welding in places and the rest of sheet metal was all in pretty good shape, needed some minor body work in places. Need to get the rest of the wheels mounted and finish painting the side panels and it will be finished up before the snow flies hopefully. I'll try to get some final pictures when done and completed.
    Just wanted to share. Thanks.

| Very nice... as usual. Have you gotten any more older implements to restore like your row-crop cultivator? |

It looks really good! ------------- Think for yourself and be your own expert. Be willing to change your mind; however, willingness to change your mind doesn’t mean that you will. Blindly following any path is the pinnacle of insanity. |
