I think they changed the crank shaft pulley. If I 'm right (rarely) some time in late 59 they started to put a pulley with holes in it for running a hydro pump. I have a 1960 So I'm interested to know what changes were made also. I also think that's when they started making them 12 volt negative ground.

went to 12 volt...ring gear and starter have different # of teeth(don't ask HOW I KNOW that one....) but starters WITH a band near the end are 6 volt, NO band = 12 volt.

| Next question if anyone knows, was a there an operating instructions and parts illustrations manual that showed these changes. Can't find any manuals that go beyond Form TM-137C. Seems like there would be a newer manual showing at least some of the updates? |

No, because there were no major changes to the tractor. These are all minor things that did not require a different manual..

| If I am understanding right they made a factory 12 volt D14? I still have nightmares about stalling a d14 and hearing that six volt starter try unsuccessfully to start the engine. Nothing was worse than telling Dad I stalled it and needed a pull. Once in a while with a few prayers it would start when hot but most time not. The series II D15 on the other hand never failed me at anything. Tom |

yes, I didn't know until I bought mine (1960). I had assumed it was converted to 12v, but found out the changed them over I think I was told lat 1959? I was going by tractordata, it also said they didn't come with powersteering, but yep they did. love them 6volts, better start in the first couple rounds or your done...lol ------------- Just cause it's orange don't make it a tractor, there's only one..Allis Chalmers |

Found this on ebay. Can't read the form number, but since I have an original white covered manual that has publication code 257969 and has the Label on the right edge reading: (Prior to Serial Number 19001), I'm thinking there was a such a manual published.  I'll be on the search for it. My Reproduction business goes online next month. So far I have the following ready, a special edition WD operator and parts illustrations manual FORM TM-9 E, a WD-45 operator and parts illustration manual FORM TM-85 D, a D-14 operator and parts illustrations manual combining all of the forms upto TM-137 C, dealers repair parts manual for wd and wd45 tractors dated 1955 and original dealers repair parts catalog for the D14 dated 1961. I also have a complete pdf version of the 2017 AGCO parts catalog (current parts numbers included) for each that will go along with the reproduction parts catalogs for free. 3/4 done with the WD and WD45, WD45 Diesel and D14 Service Manual. No funds at the moment, but I'll be searching for that late model d14 manual. |

Good day - I have been following your posts about changes to 1959, 1960 D-14 tractors. I am looking for a D-14, either year, either fully restored or in good shape that I could have it restored. I have been wondering about a number of things for those 2 years. Was the D-14 decal, near the gas tank, in that location for both years? Was the grill black, with horizontal bars across it? Were both those years essentially the same? I am not sure from the posts if both years were 6 or 12 volt? I appreciate any help you might provide. Thank you Todd

Thank you so much - very helpful. Would anyone happen to know of fully restored D-14 tractors? 1959 or 1960? I have seen some beautiful tractors that others have restored. I'd love to find one. Todd
