| Are you sure you don't have a 1961 D-14 ??? D-15's are 1962 and up. What is your serial number ?? |

Does the Power Director Hi / Lo Lever have the Thumb Guard at the top. If 'No' - it is a D-14. If 'Yes' - it is a D-15. Also post a clear photo of the Tractor Serial No. G ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Dr. The last D-14 and the first D-15 occurred in 1960. Possibly on the same day, unless some major renovations were planned between the model change. I have witnessed Model changes occur in the same hour of the same day if there is little change. On the other hand I have witnessed Pickup Truck Model change take over 6 months due to a total Plant Tear-Out and complete Refurbishment. Gary |

| Yes, my bad. Didn't have the book in front of me. But there are 1960 D-14's and 1960 D-15's as the D-15 was introduced mid year. D-15's always the new cream grille screen with horizontal screening while D-14's were always black and an "X" screen pattern. |

Norm's bible states that the D15 was the first tractor to be painted persian orange 2 in 1960. No D15 ever had a black bar grille either. A D14 black bar grille would not fit. This was brought up on the Facebook page a few days ago. I suggested it was a late D14. I asked to provide a picture of the tractor and serial number - none have been posted to date. I have a 61 D15 diesel - Persian orange 2! ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |
