Gerry,my Dad always told me if Iam doing something to do it right so Iam trying!

Great D Rick. I can see why it is your favorite D. I noticed your 180 has the parking brake on the panel and also has the two notches back movement of the motion control lever. Mine has the same set up. I have been told the lower notch is a parking brake as well. I have been hesitant to use it as such and briefly looked at the linkage and could not see how it would engage the brake.

On mine a prior owner bolted a steal plate over the panel parking brake lever making it inoperable. I have not been able to conclude why yet.

Curious - Do you use the lower rear notch on the motion control lever?

Darren,on this tractor I dont use the motion control but use the knob on dash for park,Rick

Well Rick, you make him proud I'm sure. Just incredible, can't wait to see your 18 Auto proto type as that's what I have been told I have but someone installed a 20hp in it, and it has been modified in many ways for working.

Thanks so much for sharing them with us. :notworthy:

I love getting glimpses of your herd. And I would agree with the rest, Dad has to be proud. You have definitely done it right!

That tractor looks awful familiar.

[rickv1957 72]

Jim,it should it came from your place,it is very nice as you know,I talked a fellow when this tractor sold at an auction,original owner claimed less than 90 hours since new as it only had a snowblower only since new,Rick

Rick,

Awesome tractor!

I always liked the look of the Ds.

They look like a beast of a machine.

Thanks for the pics

Rick,

I was told it had about 30 hours on it when I got it, and I believe it. I put about an hour on it in the time I owned it.

YOU MUST OPEN A MUSEUM!!!!!!!!!!! I would pay nearly anything to see all those in one spot. How long have you been collecting? Do you use the FEL to get the ones off the loft???

BTW...I have my eye on a D two miles from where I live....just lying, waiting in the weeds for the right moment.
