 Topic: My latest addition to the fleet
Posted: 05 Dec 2010 at 12:57pm |
Went on too long of a roadtrip from Friday night through this morning to go to Nebraska and pick up a D19 from Josh(NE). Clutch is out of it right now, so my goal sometime this winter is to put it in the shop, split it and put a clutch in and then see what else needs fixing. Here are some pictures:
It has a set of these Rowe foundry weights on it. Anyone know how much they weigh?
The rest of the sheetmetal is pretty nice, but the front radiator shroud needs a little work to say the least
It runs pretty nice, just doesn't move at the moment! I am unsure what I am going to do with it at this time. I was thinking of making a puller out of it, and putting the narrow front from my D17 on the front. I don't know if I should just put a regular clutch back in it, or put a button clutch in it, but if that makes it such a pain to use it for anything else, then I will probably just put a regular clutch back in. I have never put a button clutch in a farm tractor yet so I am unfamiliar at how bitey they can be in that application.
I will be looking for a grill screen, grill shroud, and trim panels for under the gas tank. Other then that and the seat, it's just the usual guages etc. and tires when I get that far.

Looks like a nice but expensive project. I would leave the wide front on or go with a D19 narrow front. Looks like you got it on the trailer backwards, surprised the rear tires fit between the trailer fenders.

Very nice, Chuck! The one I picked up in August has seen some use too. I still have a power steering cylinder leak, a noisey hydralic pump to deal with. At some point breaks and front tires. Why didn't God make this addiction lower in cost? Ken

Chuck, glad to see that you had a successful trip. I'm kind a bummed out that the weather didn't cooperate so that I could of met you in SD. I did get a lot of work done at home, though. Good luck with your new project, you can't go wrong with a D 19. Talk at ya later, Darrel.

Claus, I went a local lumber yard on the way up and got some cinder blocks and some 2 x 10's for ramps. The tires then went over the fenders and the blocks. Worked alright, but I am thinking of instead of fixing the fenders this year, I am going to remove the axles on the trailer, drop them down and make a steel extension for each side of the trailer to make it a deckover style. No matter what I use the trailer for, the fenders are always in the way.

Larry, Chuck sent me a note indicating the wheel looked to be in good shape, so I'm sure it is. I'm going to meet up with him in a week or so, but with the trip and the weather he had going out and back, I'm going to let him rest up.
Thanks to both you and Chuck for making the connection on the wheel. As I'm sure you found out when you met him that Chuck is one of the better guys you'll ever deal with.
