Bradley, that is a nice looking D19 diesel. Wish i could say mine had a family connection. Great story. I'd be inclined not to paint it if it was still factory paint.

I'm going to buck the system here and say that nothing looks sweeter than an immaculately restored/repainted ole tractor, especially a D19. Darrel

This reminds me of something I found about a year ago. I was looking at craigslist and ran across a old jeep about 70 miles from home that I was interested in. I went and looked at the jeep and I wasn't interested in buying it (too rough). As I was leaving something caught the corner of my eye in the barn. You see, Granddad had old WD for years when I was a kid. When he bought the tractor it had a narrow front. My dad put a wide front under it and fabbed a power steering on it from a Chevy truck (including the Chevy belt drive PS pump). What caught my eye was a WD style grill and right behind it was a GM power steering pump sticking out the side. I had found Granddad's old tractor. 70 miles from home and I was there on a unrelated matter.

I missed a D19 gas at a sale today in Brush, Colo today by about half an hour. We had quite a snow storm last night, over 12", and the trees still have a lot of leaves. Spent a bunch of time knocking off snow then drove two hours to the sale. Saw a couple guys I know and asked about the tractor, it ran well and is only missing the fenders, sold for $1200. Oh well.....
Nice Diesel D19, by the way!

Morton,
I have her twin for sale in Central NY (half way between Albany and Syracuse). Excellent sheet metal, SC unit with 3-spool valve and all lights still in-place. Even has the original A-C block heater on her with the A-C logo embossed in it and starts down to the high 30's without either, or being plugged in. I bought it from the original owner in 2004 and she just mows 10 acres/year with an old New Idea sickle bar mower to keep her lubed up.
PM me if interested as she will make her way down to Texas at some point if she does not sell.

I agree with you guys on keeping a good originial tractor originial. I'm not sure that this tractor hasn't already had a re-paint. Some orange paint on the head lights, rear wheel centers and weights are orange instead of cream, top of air cleaner in cream instead of black. I hope it is originial and just these items have been painted but I can't tell from the picture.

Gahhh!!!! Repaint it!! NOOOOO!!!! That thing is in its original work clothes...it looks way too good to be sandblasted and painted. I can only hope and wish I find a D-19 that looks like that some day.

Looks to be in great shape. Always great to find those tractors that were in the family. Even has the wheel weights to boot.
