Well made the mistake of going and looking at a D9 19A and I can’t justify getting it other than I want it! I’m looking to replace the torque converter to direct drive wondering if anyone has a parts machine D9 18A, I need from the flywheel back to transmission or last resort a good used torque converter for a 19A but would much rather make it direct drive thank you!

Fresno tractor has a couple 18A parts machines. I know of a couple in MT as well.

What's your 20?

I seem to have the same problem with No.12 Motor Graders, they've been following me home for years. I have a theory 🤔 perhaps, if I would take the wife's car and leave any oils and greases at home when I go look at a new find. Maybe just maybe one is less likely to follow me home.
UPDATE:
Didn't work.😆 I even took a shower, used the wife's foo-foo soap and dressed in my Sunday-go-to-meetings (no greasy Carhartts). The new find still sniffed me out and followed me home. The Uber ride home for the running 9K was 1.25 times more then what I paid for the Grader itself. 🤷‍♂️ ...
Wife's response 🤦‍♀️🙄. I could see in her face a change when she realized the new "shiny object" would keep me out of her hair for a good length of time. She regained her countenance, smiled that fake toothy smile 😬 nodded then turned and walked away.
🤣😂🤣
