| Steve Barbato from B&B Custom circuits built for me, from scratch, a new wire harness for my D-17 Black Bar Diesel. Once again, a beautiful work of art. He updated the starting switch and everything is built heavy, no reason this baby won't turn over with a pair of 12 volt batterys. Do not hesitate using Steve on any wire harness work. This is a lot better than if I could have found a new old stock! Dave. |

You will be hard pressed to find anyone who competes with the quality of Steve's work. Guess it's easier for him on wiring bundles since he's already built low to the ground. LOL ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

See Dave, I said you will start something with your need for a D17 D wiring harness.
Looks like Steve will be building more of them now, this is how we get more parts out there for our AC tractors. ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

| Dave, I'll second that. The wiring harness he put together for my D14 was truly a work-of-art. Steve's craftsmanship and attention to detail is superb. I just wish he was closer to the Midwest! Steve, what would it take to relocate? Troy |

I had Steve custom build a harness for my D19 some years ago and it was also top notch in my book. So whether it's a factory replacement, or a custom job; B and B can and will take care of you!

I have also been very happy with my experiences with Steve. He's doing a carb now for a good friend's Silver King. I don't think you're gonna pry that boy out of New Joisey unless Fred offers him a cot in his showroom. Bob@allisdowneast ------------- I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure. |

Dave,
Thank you for the very kind words. Its greatly appreciated. Same goes for the rest of the guys here in the Orange family. You guys need to give yourselfs a big pat on the back also for suppling the patterns, sample parts, and important information needed for something like this to develop. We're all in this together, and working together is what gets quality parts available to all of us.
