Mike Osbourne, near Riverton, Wyoming clearing the driveway. February, 2023. The tractor is a 46A - the board will not let me edit the "subject" line.

Has been tough on the cattle guard and the bird feeder. 13' 6" blade and you don't have to worry about widening out.

Photos were taken by Mike's daughter.

Thank you for posting, great pictures, but are you sure that's a 15A ?
Looks like a later model to me, D8H 36A or 46A ?.

just what a old crawler should be doing pushing stuff around.

"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Hi, willwingo.
Good photos and thanks for posting. But, like gauntjoh, I'd put it at later 36a with the side hydraulic tank, which would make it about 1963 or later.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

The D8 is a 46A, the 15A in the subject line is a typo. 
Thanks for posting the pictures,

Is it a 46A? I was peering at the location where the powershift lever would be and I can't see one but I can see what looks like a main clutch lever next to a winch control lever - like a 36A would have. Must need to update my eyeglass prescription.

The text in the original post says the subject line was a typo and the tractor is a 46A. 
Maybe that's a typo too?

Its either a 36A or a 35A and either 235hp or 225hp. My best guess it is a 36A.

Hi, Wombat.
It does appear to have the offset fuel tank and the side-mounted hydraulic tank which went with the later D8Hs but I don't know enough or have enough reference material to be able to pinpoint it more than that.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Doesn't have the 270 style aircleaner.

"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."
