Thanks, the D17 & 185 have some modifications but both are original paint, the D17 has flat top fenders and 18.4X30, the 185 has a blower installed by McKim's and rear cast wheels off a 6080 and 11.00X16 fronts. we went to a local plow day and Dad had a blast with the 185 and 4-16 ac plow:)

With those mods, that 185 had an easy job! Sharp looking tractors!

Great looking pictures. I noticed the mans clothes on the D21. Safe to say those two pictures were not taken on the same day.

Some beautiful machines you got there. Really like the looks of the 185 with the 34's on the back.

I really like the D21 picture----------there's something about them that I like. Maybe it's the bulldog look they seem to have.

Thanks for sharing your tractor - farm pictures. In the first photo of the D21, it impresses me still today in 2011, at how much that machine demands attention & allures the senses. I can only guess that seeing one working in a field back in the 1960s (like your photo) made a person do a double take? As a kid in the 60s, I never saw one working in the fields. There were none of them in our small farming community. We only farmed with WDs, a WD45, & a D17. I only saw D21s at local fairs pulling sleds down the track in a torrent of smoke. The first time I saw one at a fair tractor pull, I remember asking my older brothers & Dad, "What's a D21?" They quickly cued me in and I have been given them double takes ever since.

I would like to put a set of 34's on the rear of my 185 also. Does anyone know where another set of 34"rims and centers may be?
Thanks.

You copy the IMG code from PhotoBucket and Paste it on your post. Just be shure you don't get mixed up and copy the Direct link insted of the IMG code like skateboarder68 did.
