I found what appears to be a D4 based tractor. Looks like they borrowed a radiator from an earlier model, but upgraded the battery box on the fender. Engine doesn’t appear to be stock either. Make do with what is available I guess. This was from a news article regarding middle eastern farmers. I can’t even see eyeholes in his “do rag”.
Sort of a “FrankenCrawler” or Johnny Cash special, “one part at a time”.
Let’s see some other scary ones please. JM

Maybe a D4D or D4E with a radiator change, could possibly be an AG version.

I’m curious where they even found the parts to put all that together and then they found what appears to be an old Dyer chisel. That is a morphedite.
I have been curious about putting a 4 BT Cummins in a U model D4. Nope, no time ✅

Hmmm, from the rear of the engine back it does look like a D4D, what's going on up front is making me scratch my head!

Maybe it's a Minneapolis Moline hybrid sister to Squatch's, only MM didn't get a chance to slap their paint and decals on it.

***One day I would enjoy going to Zimmerman's in Missouri and check out some of there re-powered crawlers. They have had several IH TD-9B with Cummins adapted, as well as a D5C? that had been converted to JD power and JD powershift transmission. Talented folks. Looks like they would take good iron and make vast improvements. ***JM

Looks like a D4D with a 9U radiator and an unknown engine.   That exhaust manifold doesn’t look like any cat engine I’ve been around.  Front idlers look too small as well.  

Interesting for sure.

Hey BP, where have you been hiding? Don't tell me you are having way fun with your new stash from Uncle E!
Yes, that tractor is something else. Compared to what some of their fellow farmers use (4 legged type) I am sure that is a Caddy-yak. Tough job. JM

After looking more does the bottom of radiator say D6 ? The D is plain enough but not sure about the 6.

Having a 9u D6 come to me in pieces, had what was to have been a D6B fuel tank. Has the light brackets the same as picture. As I have looped chain through them several time to move it.

Yes idler looks very small.

"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."
