Finishing up my story for Diesel World on the Walker's D315 engine (soon to be installed in their 1950 D4 6U). Wanted to include an image of a 6U D4 to show readers what the D315 was commonly mounted in. Well, turns out the images in my D4 folder are not a D4 but an RD6. Is there someone here willing to let me use a high res D4 6U image? A 7U is OK too. Original "patina" or restored is OK, as long as it's presentable, in period trim and a good shot. Here's a chance to get your D4 into a national magazine with your photo credit. PM me. Many thanks!

Geez, I go to bed and wake up and there is a fleet of D4s in my inbox! You guys are the best! ACMOC rules!
Think I am going with Joe Mancuso's '54. He sent me a D4 picture that says "I kick ass!" Will be listing ACMOC as an overall source too, of course.
It's funny, though. I go to a fair number of tractor and engine shows... not so much to the heavy machinery shows, tho... to find material. I see a fair number of Cats but no D4s. Of course, I can't run nothing but Cats in my two columns, much as you would probably like ( : < ), but if someone has plans for the Portland, Indiana, show, let me know. I'd shoot a D4 for the future. Of course, this year, the shows are dropping like flies and I am really going to be short of material this year. With magazines dying like flies too, I may not need all that much source material either.
Many thanks for all the worthy responses. I truly do appreciate the help.

I have an early '50s D4 brochure, but it doesn't list what track shoe sizes were available. Also, did the D4 have the smaller idler wheel option for ag use like the D2?
