AC salvage yard

Interesting day yesterday in Quarryville PA. Went to a salvage yards hoping to find some parts. Had a good few hours but was sad to see what rough lives these once fine machines had. A few notables were the D21’s, 440, and a super nice belly sickle mower on a WD. It was a pretty organized yard, with a lot of used parts stacked neatly inside buildings.

OK... I gotta ask.... 1/2 way down, there's a propane powered D-14(?) with a 'weird' looking clutch pedal ! What's that all about !!

Only a few B’s but they may have already parted them out and on shelves. Mainly larger tractors. A few D17’s, D-15’s. 1 D-19. Several WD’s. I was able to get the parts I was looking for and at good prices.
Could not believe it but was able to get the rear cover that goes over the transmission oil level check/fill for my brothers XT! They were usually thrown under a work bench after having to take bolts out to remove them in order to check the oil. That was the find of the day.

no, though that's 'interesting', the one I meant has  a 'plate' of cast maybe 1 foot square on the lever, where your ankle/lower shin will be.
mighty strange to say the least and I've never ever seen it before..it does look 'original'

Is he the guy that bought all of Issac Martin's AC parts?

Hmmm,, ,, you could almost make a movie...call it "Tractors".

Ok... I blew up the D1x? picture to 450% and the 'shield' is NOT attached to the clutch pedal. If it's a heat shield ,I do NOT want to be on a tractor whose tranny generates that much heat !...
It does look like a GREAT place for bees and wasps to call home though...yeesh..

sure hope someone whose seen it chimes in as I can't see any useful purpose for it.

Later D-17's also have heat shields as well. Our One-Seventy has a heat shield to. Andy

its a real good thing that place is so far away from me, or else i would slowly own the place  

John I was there last year and they let us look around a while. They will sell tractors and parts but I thought kinda pricey.

The 7080 looks like it had an oil change in Sept, maybe it is a running tractor.

When I get rich some day, I'm going to have a D21. They would look good in any yard.

Just getting home from work. That is a heat shield, dad’s series II D-15 has it. I have never noticed excess heat from it in the 49 years he has had it. The running tractors tractors are for sale. The D-21 in the shop is a customer tractor and they just replaced the clutch. They not only sell used parts but they repair tractors also. A nice 1206 IH was on the lot that they repaired. I thought their prices were very good. That transmission cover for my brothers XT was only $10. Other parts I bought were very reasonable.
They do not have a website which was disappointing when I tried to get more info on them before my 3 hr trip. The 440 has always been a favorite of mine and was in pretty good shape. Do not know if its for sale or was a customer tractor. Just always thought they were tough looking.
ED 40 was nice but it doesn’t interest me personally. Looked to be very restorable.
