I know that feeling. I'm down to putting the head, injectors and pump on my D262. Then I can finally put it back in the tractor...

She will be running this week. Have to pull start it therefore the compression is bumped up to the point 8volts wont do the job. Then she will be put on to 12 once i know everything is sound and ready for the final paint job. There maybe a plow day scheduled to break her in as well.

Looking really good. I am in the process of ordering the final parts for my 45. Hope to have her back to life before the holidays. Been almost 12 years since she last fired. Can't wait to hear that engine come to life. Good luck.

Just sharing that the WD45 runs as of tonight. Had to pull start her and she popped off. Got her warmed up and set the timing. Sound real nice:)
