Anyone know Curtis Mabe? Is this a genuine prototype?

Read about that tractor on here before, I think.

Some of the pics are "gone" to the internet ages though, sadly.
Whether it is real or not, or just a recreated one via marrying of a D-17 front end and a D-19 rear end, seems up for debate...

I might have some of the blueprints for that. Got them with a bunch of documents out of the LaPorte Plant at an auction of a former Engineer named Craig Cannon.

The "D-18" would be pretty easy to duplicate by mixing/matching D-17 and D-19 parts.
