    The first DI built was restored and owned in ga. Absolutely beautiful tractor.

      I’ve seen pictures of that tractor. As you’ve said, outstanding! Thanks for watching!

    Nice find!! One of my favorite tractors, have had a few of them.. Don’t see many DI’s around for sure!!

      It’s my thoughts that the brakes have been removed for whatever reason. The axle housings that were used for the brakes are still there and you can see where the support brackets for the brake backing plates were removed. A lot of searching ahead to try to find those parts! I really appreciate your comment! Thanks for watching!

    I see you have a lot of the unique DI parts including the extended brake control, the brake lever, the extended throttle and what looks like the double clutch. FYI I've tracked down 38 of these DIs. Yours would be a new addition

      I have been to your website. I’ll add the serial number of this tractor to your list. Am I correct that you had to find brake parts for yours? All of the wheel brakes are missing on this one. The second clutch handle was cut off with a torch. I have another lever to recreate that. I really appreciate your comments and any other help you can provide on this project! Thanks!

      @@MichaelBarney58 I saw you loaded cast wheels on the trailer. Are they the cast wheels for brakes (I was glued to the screen but couldn't tell haha)? I did have to find the parts for one side of my brakes. ALL the parts can be stolen off of a styled D...except the 28 inch tire center hubs for brakes are VERY hard to find. I would love to discuss this and any other details you wnat

      @MichaelBarney58  Před 6 měsíci

      Unfortunately, those are the standard cast centers for a regular D. They were thrown in on the deal. I've sent you an email with the serial number. Looking forward to visiting with you!@@weirddeere

    First Poppa B, thanks for rescuing her, second, is it normal for a D of this age to be on rubber ? Thanks, Alex.

    • @MichaelBarney58
      @MichaelBarney58  Před 5 měsíci

      Hi Alex, this D came from the factory on rubber as it is a DI. You could get either rubber or steel wheels on a Model D in 1936. Thanks for watching and your comment!

    Чем отличается трактора модификации DI от R

    • @MichaelBarney58
      @MichaelBarney58  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks for your comment! The main modifications between a D and DI were the individual rear wheel brakes, controls, seating, drawbar, and rear axle sprockets, The R John Deere was the first John Deere diesel production tractor , introduced in 1949, and destined to be the replacement for the D. The D carried on for another 4 years until production ceased in 1953. Appreciate you watching the video!

    I hope you can answer a question, I gave a D in my lower paster . I found the model number and serial number, dates back to 1934. I have the same yellow coming thru the green paint. Could this be a DI?

    • @MichaelBarney58
      @MichaelBarney58  Před 2 měsíci

      I have the serial number list for all of the DI s made. They were first produced in 1935 but it would be worthwhile to at least check yours out to see. Send me an email and I’ll look for you. Thanks for watching and commenting!

      You are correct. On an upcoming video I'll show how much yellow paint is still there! Thanks for watching!

      @MichaelBarney58 paint or primer. Jd used a yellow primer. I seen a lot of green on that D. Only way a industrial tractor would have green on it is if someone painted it the wrong color. Definitely a interesting situation you have

      @@kennycriswell141 It’s paint. I’ve heard (not verified) that Deere wasn’t using primer that far back. It has been repainted at some point. Also, the serial number has been verified by Deere archives and I have the letter. It’s the real deal. I appreciate your comments!

      @MichaelBarney58 that's one awesome find. I was rooting for it to be the real deal. I just didn't want you to be disappointed down the road. Sounds like you've done your research and know what your doing. Hats off too you and congratulations on a great find.

      @@kennycriswell141 JD using primer started in the 40s. And it was only on castings. With my grandpa's D, I was scraping all sorts of grease and loose green paint, finding lots of yellow spots. It was indeed a DI, and many of the DIs were shipped off to the farm after working in construction
