Thanks Chap.3 and Tom! It took me about four years during the winter months. I had new liners and prechambers made for it. It also has new valves, guides,springs,push rods, cam followers, clutch, trans gears, finals rebuilt, bottom rollers, found new orginal track shoes that were under a parts machine.

Chad, I do too, but it costs an arm and a leg to haul them anymore, so I've kind of given up on the really big stuff. I had a Diesel Seventy-Five until last year; had to liquidate it to raise money to restore my diesel-conversion Sixty. Most of us can't have eveything we want. GWH

Gary,
I am impressed, your tractor not only looks good, but was done properly even where it doesn't show😊

I saw the disk and now finally I know why our Rome disks have always had trouble with wheels and wheel bearings. Ours never had duals on it since we had them. I believe they are wider (15.5 feet), maybe not heavier than yours, but too heavy for single 7.50 x 18's or 16's we have always had on them. Finally went to an airplane tire, but that is just one of the problem components.

Delta Dirt mentioned having a cable block around somewhere that had come off one, and I know ours probably were cable operated at one time, but I never saw it, just hydraulics. Lots of problems with that lift linkage which seems to be doubled/redesigned on yours.
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
