A 200 with factory cab and ac. It was fun to run, but I had to sell it to be able to afford my 7045. The 200 was ok, but it sure wasn't a 7045PS with M&W pistons.

D17 Series III NF that I sold for my Mom after Dad passed away. It was in ROUGH shape all around, clutch was slipping, lots of leaks, needed brakes bad, sheet metal was poor, etc. etc. Still should have paid Mom for what I got for it and kept it. Good thing is that I sold it to friend of my farming partner, he reconditioned it (restored to some people) and put a WFE under it. I got first rights to buy it back when he's ready to sell it. Mike

Dad and brother bought a 190XT Series III new in 1972. One of the best tractors we ever had. Traded in for a 7000. Wish we still had it. rrhead(SD)

D14 with heavy industrial loader. It was rough but would have been good to keep in the family. I got the bug and some extra money about four years too late.

I let dad's 7045 maroon belly PS get away in 1986. I was still wet behind the ears and didn't have a clue. What a dope.

I gave away a '48 G that I spent 2 years of my nights and weekends on,didn't have hydraulics but did have the low,low first and a skid full of implements,sigh..
The 'all original even the tires' '55 CA went away last month.....sigh
But a lot of bills got paid off and a '59 D-14 came home to roost.
So no matter how deep a wound I get, I still bleed orange!

You all will hate me for saying this, but when I got my little farm, I talked to dad and got the WD45 diesel and fixed it up and the orange blood has been pumping ever since. In the meantime, unknown to me about a year after I got my 45 diesel from my dad, he decided without telling me to sell his JD 730 diesel with pony start. The engine was tight from sitting but it had brand new rubber, a 4? bottom plow, and a loader that was sitting in the weeds. My dad sold it to someone for, get this 2000. He then called me and told me and I almost cried. I found out later that his grandson, my nephow offered him 3300 for it a year earlier and he wouldn't sell it to him. I talked to him the other day about it, and I have been pushing him to go up on a Saturday and visit the guy who bought it from him, and I want to talk to him and at least if he ever wants to sell it, I want to at least have the option of buying it first. I know, I know, it's a JD, but it was one of the original tractors that my dad had on the farm. It was also fixed up by my brother and my grandpa one summer when my brother was a teenager, and he was the one who pushed my dad to sell it cause it was taking up space in my brothers shop. I will never understand that.

190 XT III with a big chrome stack that I sold because it jumped out of third gear. Bought a 4020 to replace it. Its transmission locked up while I was coasting downhill backwards mowing the sideditch. Seems they have a pump in the tranny that doesnt work while the clutch is in! Knowing what I know now FROM THIS WEBSITE I should have kept the 190XT. It would have been a fairly easy fix. I do have Dads old 45 tho.......pry that from my cold dead hands..

sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"

My dads '66 D17 S-IV. That tractor was rock solid. If had been a few years older at the time I might could have talked him out of selling it. Everytime I see one of the guys he worked or farmed with back then I ask if they know who he sold it to. Maybe I will get lucky

Dad says he and Grandpa ordered a long block for a WD45, right after the D17s came out. Sure enough, the crate was labeled D17. SO, somewhere near Beatrice Nebraska is a WD45 with a D17 engine! Dad just talked about that one last week!

53 WD
Dad bought a WD new in 1953. I spent many hours on that tractor when I was a
teenager. My brother bought it from Dad and it was eventually traded in on a D-14
at Butler Coal Co. in Oelwein, Iowa. I have always wanted to find it and try to buy
it back. It would plow sod with 3-14's from 8-5 and not run out of gas.

I'm going to southern Indiana to look at a 190 XT that my father bought new in the winter of 1972, from my description to the owner and his description back to me, we both believe it is my dad's old tractor. i'll be posting pictures when I know more.

I know it the wrong color,but I had a late 1953 stage II super H Farmall that I bought from the original owener. I pulled in a lot of wagon loads of seed corn with when I worked for him in high school.I had a belly mounted, balanced head mower on it. It was sweet to mow side ditches with.I got the bug for one of those green JD things and sold it. I really miss it but I like my WD.

How about one I don't regret letting go, a JD 520 wide front with 3 pt and PS. All I regret is not getting more for it. It hated to start, needed a lot of work and I never felt comfortable working on a 2 cyl.

i am glad to say that every tractor my dad has bought he still has. it all started with a d17. the one that's in danger right now is the 185 diesel that has been turbo'd by previous owner (i don't have any knowledge what this involves, but looks factory, so looks like it was done right) . it has an engine problem and we have not taken it apart to find out whats wrong with it (losing water badly and is in oil) but that tractor ran great. it had no turbo lag and i just loved the power that thing had. i am hoping someday to fix the engine and use it and do not sell it.

I will add to the regrets.
I was second owner of a 1957 WD 45 gas with factory power steering with trip bucket Freeman loader, good tires, ran great. I tried to buy it back from guy I sold it too when I was better off financially, he said, no way.

Regrets; Parting out my Dad's WD (the only tractor he ever owned) 35 years ago before I had any thoughts like I have now. Also selling my first farm tractor in 1980, a D-21 that I bought when I started farming in 1975. The good news is that I have what was a neighbours WD and there is a D-21 in the shed again.
