Are you sure you don't have a 1961 D-14 ??? D-15's are 1962 and up. What is your serial number ??

Does the Power Director Hi / Lo Lever have the Thumb Guard at the top.
If 'No' - it is a D-14.
If 'Yes' - it is a D-15.
Also post a clear photo of the Tractor Serial No.

The last D-14 and the first D-15 occurred in 1960.
Possibly on the same day, unless some major renovations were planned between the model change.
I have witnessed Model changes occur in the same hour of the same day if there is little change.
On the other hand I have witnessed Pickup Truck Model change take over 6 months due to a total Plant Tear-Out and complete Refurbishment.

Yes, my bad. Didn't have the book in front of me. But there are 1960 D-14's and 1960 D-15's as the D-15 was introduced mid year. D-15's always the new cream grille screen with horizontal screening while D-14's were always black and an "X" screen pattern.

Norm's bible states that the D15 was the first tractor to be painted persian orange 2 in 1960. No D15 ever had a black bar grille either. A D14 black bar grille would not fit.
This was brought up on the Facebook page a few days ago. I suggested it was a late D14. I asked to provide a picture of the tractor and serial number - none have been posted to date.
I have a 61 D15 diesel - Persian orange 2!
