Coggonobrien's D15 Series III

   Hey Coggin,,,can you post some side view pics of the engine that shows the Hyd. pump, idler, fan, water pump,,?? Thanks.
   You might want to consider a 5 blade fan that will move lots more air than the 4 blade. The D15 Series II, I used to have,  had the 5 blade fan and was noticeably louder than the 4 blade on the D14. 
   I was wonderin how you were going to address the additional pully to drive the new pump,, My D14 has the single pully and now driving the front mounted pump and don't look like any room to add another pully,,,????
 Thanks,,,

Started fitting up the console tonight, Looks like it's going to fit like it's meant to.  just need to drill 2 new bolt holes.  The 2nd picture is an illusion, my leg is not rubbing the console

It wouldn't be tough, it's just a matter running hose.  The valve stack has 1 input and 1 outlet.

Wish me luck boys, I'm in the running for free paint and tires.

What did you enter

Again, very nice work. It proves to yourself that anything can be done. After doing a few things like this it makes you think from a different point of veiw when you do a project.Makes the "inventivness" come out. A lot of fun when not pressed for time. Good Job!!!

   Gosh Dang Coggin,,,,,you and The Doctor just don't let much grass grow under your feet do Ya,,,????. Thet set-up looks great,,,and again KUDOS for thinkin on the idea of using the thermo housing for the mounting of the bracket. (great!)
 You mentioned using a D14 pulley and machining the backside,,,,that one looks to be bigger,,,but,,,the big center hole would,,I think,,allow the drive shaft to go thru it to engage on inside pulley,,,,, HMMmmmmm,,,,I Like it,,,!!!!
   Now,,,all you need is to get you a 5 blade fan and lash it all up,,,,,

Gotcha, just an FYI for next year but contest says the tractor needs to be mechanically sound

    Hey Coggin,,,,,,you just goin right along ain't you,,,!!! I'm curious,, how much clearance did you wind up with from the D14 pulley to the back of the PS reservoir,,??
    You just gave me an idea on how to address my set-up, which already has an additional pulley for the front mounted pump,,,  I could possibly add the outer part of another sheave to the OD of the front pump for the additional belt,,,???  HMmmmm,,,,
 Gonna run out there when sun comes up and take a close look-see,,,,,

Well we are starting reassembly.  belt is 54" long x 5/8".  front pulley is held on with 7/16 gd 8 bolts.  bought them long and cut them off to have as much unthreaded shank as possible.  t-stat housing is held down with grade 8 bolts, hardened washers and lock washers.  hydraulic remotes are all 3/8" jic with break away coupler's.  New mounting plate is grade 50, 10 gauge mild.

The fans not bent but the corners were clipped for the original loader hydraulic pump install.  I would find hardened washers (black ones) vs larger ones.  There really isn't any more surface area for a larger washer and the concern is when you crank on the bolts the force tries to draw the bolt through the center hole which distorts the washer and turns it into a wedge.  If I was you I would find a new housing to ensure no failure
