Good looking unit. Should be easy to sell. JM
Hope so. It isn't perfect but would be an easy restore and runs well though the pony decided to give me a headache this weekend. After 2 years of being reliable decided not to start. Going to rebuild the carb and replace points and spark plug wires which should help. Better then anything in the region on Craigslist at the moment.
Did some tinkering, replaced the pony spark plug wires and cleaned the carb on the pony. Cleaned coated pony fuel tank. Once the pony was running the main just like always fired up by the book. Did some grading on the driveway. Changed engine oil in both and put a new thimble on the winch cable. Sunday it gets a bath from a friend. Some fresh pictures and it is on the market. 1112 hours on the clock now. Not perfect but a pretty darn good starting point for someone looking to do a nice restore on one without having to go through everything.

Hey Pete! hope all is well with ya'll😄
[quote="Garlic Pete"]That is a sharp looking D4. Nicely equipped with the blade, (with tilt!) and winch. Probably very well balanced and easy to work. I like the F. O. P. S. and back of head protection for the heavy winching jobs, too.
I guess you'd call that blade a Semi-U, huh? If you extended those side plates top and bottom, you could call it a Carry Dozer!
I hope it finds a good home who will appreciate it as much as you have.
Nice Freightliners and Camaro in the background there, too.

The D4 sold for asking price on Facebook marketplace but due to some issues with loading and the trailer the buyer brought it remains at my house for the time being.
The Freightliner is a 1980 FLC that will get restored at some point. I have some of the parts to get it going but the replacement engine needs a couple things before we can swap it in and have it able to move under it's own power.
The other truck is my 1959 Kenworth CC925 which has a rare 62-64 wide hood that came with the earlier small Kenworth cab.
No Camaro - my 1971 Mustang Mach 1 that has no grill currently and is sort of a street legal road race car.
Not appearing are my International 484 which may be the ugliest 484 on the planet or my Case 446.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
