Gary Whiteman and his Diesel Seventy-Five

Thank you very much George! Im glad you enjoyed it, its really great to have such a big tractor thats that old and runs and operates like new. I am really proud of all the hard work my father and i put into it, it was worth it! Hope to visit with you again. Gary Whiteman

Lol, i guess i make the tractor look kinda small being im 6' 5"

A few more pics of Gary, some of him working his d4 and some parade shots.

Here are a few pics of an D315 engine that Gary rebuit for This man (sorry I forgot his name) and his Bucyrus 15B

Thank you Erik!! That guys name is Jim Lipstraw from Limestone Ohio, he worked for the Goerge Gradel Co. in Toledo operating these draglines for years. At his age he rebuilt all the cluthes and all of the track and undercarriage all in his little shed, amazing!

Im sure it was a typo error,lol, thats my D4 7U41493

Thanks Erik for all those wonderful photos!

I noticed the 315 Cat engine in the gentleman's 15B machine. I'd very much like to have the serial number for our list to be published in the ACMOC Magazine. Am working on the list.

Gary, I forgot to mention how well the gear shift worked too. Yes, I ground some gears, but actually the motion of the Johnson bar was smooth, and for a Cat, once I got used to the shift, it wasn't bad. Some are nearly impossible to change gear in. All in all, a smooth-running machine.

Was it an ag Cat or in construction?
