This is my 1959 D17 Diesel. I did a complete overhaul (brakes, seals and hydraulic pump). Converted to narrow front from wide front end. Thanks to Orange Knight, Steve Fischer, Mack, Chad S and a special thanks to ReedE (Reed) at Central Iowa Farm Store!

Yes Charlie. There is. But it's money well spent for the end result that will probably outlast Doug. Doug, that just looks better than a great job. It's excellent!!
