D8 2u and more

Haven't posted anything for a while so I thought I'd share some of my other gems. I have a 1953 leroi D13000 powered air compressor. This thing runs like a top. I use it with a 1 inch line and a 4 foot piece of pipe nippled down to 3/4 to make an awesome blow gun. Also powers my 1 inch guns if I have lots of big stuff where I have to rattle bolts. So far it's only a warm weather operation. Next is the 1947 D8 2U that I acquired with a property. I took the canopy from the 14a "Mr Cat" and set in on. It actually fits not to bad and with a little work it should work fine. Undercarraige is particularly poor. Thinking about using the seven roller swing frames from another donar 14a along with the excellent 9 inch rail with 24 inch pads that I have. Anyone ever done this? Not sure if 14a swing frames will fit the 2U. Final drive stuff all looks the same. And then there is the 1943 TD14. This tractor is ex US-7 fleet. Came up north during WW2 and built runways along the Alaska highway. Happy Fathers day gentlemen.[attachment=43140]IMG_1911.jpg[/attachment][attachment=43141]IMG_1912.jpg[/attachment][attachment=43142]IMG_1913.jpg[/attachment][attachment=43143]IMG_1915.jpg[/attachment][attachment=43144]IMG_1916.jpg[/attachment][attachment=43145]IMG_1917.jpg[/attachment]
