Was buried in between a bunch of metal & what not on a Hansen auction site. Sat on the bid until the last 3min, of course then after I upped the bid the min amount it reset for 10min. No one else bid after I upped it though.

 

Gonna pick it up from Neenah on my way home from work today.

Nice score! I can't speak for your area, but D's are unicorns down here.

Ok now I'm really ticked for what you paid for it! 

The decal was worth the price of admission! 

[Achto 27,571]

Now that I have this thing in my possession, here are a few more pic's

 

@WHX?? pointed out the decal on the hood. Clear proof that this tractor is nothing but a chick magnet. 

 

 

This hitch on the back is heavy enough to pull almost anything.

 

As for the two 1/4 barrel carriers on the back.

 

I think the grill may answer that question. Note the faint LP above the smiley face. I think that someone had this ole girl running on LP at one time.

 

Most certainly an engine transplant.

 

Engine does turn over by hand, sounds like the starter may be hanging up though. Gas tank has that horrific smell of varnish, so guessing she hasn't been run in quite some time.

 

If by chance I do decide to make a show cruiser out of this, the first I'll do after I get it running is to put her on a diet. With the tires filled, the cast iron wheel weights, and what ever that fender pan & seat weights ( all made from 1/4" material ). This thing is a tank !! My trailer seemed heavier behind the truck than it does when I have 4 normal 's on it.

That poor thing is uglier'n' a stump fence. It even makes ME look halfway to normal.  

 

I like it.

That's not a seat, it's a couch

Almost lost the seat once I hit the highway. Once my speedo reached 75MPH the seat flipped up.  Good thing that it is saturated with water & weights about 40lbs. Pulled over & threw it in the back of the truck before I lost it.

If the D is rockin,..,...............

If it becomes a cruiser you will have to keep the seat so the your clown friend can hold your beer.

If you go back to the LP, you could add a flame thrower!

It's the green and yellow on it that's offensive.

Wasn’t that long ago, we were talking about all the spare bus seats I have for sulky builds.  Looks like they fit on a D just fine too!

You should make a D with an extended frame with a bunch of bus seats. Now you have a Par-D bus! Maybe throw on some disco balls or something.
