Hi all. Some of you may know I have a pretty early 9U, #17. I’ve always thought it would be cool to have a really late 9U to have both ends of the spectrum. I’ve found a few, but not close enough to the end to suit me.
Well lo and behold bookface marketplace came through. Just a bit to the north of me in the heart of the Palouse country, a 9U popped up. This example, # 29,714 is 50 tractors from the end of the line. As you’ll see in the pictures, it’s had some modifications. These were done at Norm Wilson tractor in Colfax, Wa. It’s got a 44A dash, fabed up hood, and turbo. They also added armrests to the optional 9U seat tank that hold fuel to add capacity. It’s a factory Direct electric tractor. 24” pads with hydraulic track adjusters. They parked it 30 years ago when they put the place into CRP. Enjoy some pictures.
BP.
Hi, Bruce P.
Nice. And 'Jesus boots' too. Thanks for sharing.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Glad you got it Bruce. Did they make a hood for it or use a 44A hood?
