Looks and sounds great, can't wait to see it up close. Did my best to get the weather to cooperate this winter. Another calendar pinup!

Very nice job.  I gotta ask....how much are diesel D-15's worth?  There was one at an auction near here a while back but didn't get the chance to attend.

Another excellent job! Now you just need a D17 Series IV diesel to squeeze between this and the D19TD!

Got One, although not a series 4. I have a series 2 D17D waiting to come into the shop for restoration. Tin is pretty straight....will have to see how it is mechanically, may have to part it out.
Technically, I am only missing one, the mighty D21, and I will have all the D series diesels

Couldn't tell ya Stewart. I have a value book for antique tractors at the house which is what I based my purchase price of this one. Obviously, being diesel and factory 3pt made it worth more. Of all of the work I put in the motor, pump and injectors rebuilt, all new valves, guides, seals, pistons, rings, block and head decked and couter-bore reset plus new skins all the way around...IF I were to sell it, and thats a big IF, ..... lets just say I would have to have alot of money......

Looks great!  I've never even driven a D15 gas, not to mention a diesel.  I was just wondering if all the diesels had the battery box there on the fender.  I assume that's a second battery?  Did D15 diesels have 2 twelve volt batteries in a parallel circuit, or two big six volt batteries in series?

Beautiful work Don!
I had a chance to buy a 1963 D15 II diesel, but I went for this 1966 gasser instead.  I have it around 70% restored and still pushing.  It should be as good as yours sometime in the summer...

Yes, all D15D used 2 batteries with the second one on the fender, both were 12 volt. The one the fender is called a starting battery. It is a group 29NF, which is actually now a classic car battery.
