Arrrrrrrrgggggg!!! Your're taunting us. Those are NICE!!! Glad to see you have mustard to turn under for green matter. Hardly anything growing around here due to lack of rainfall.
Do you have a particular one that you like best? Tell us a little about each of them if you don't mind. PLEASE. Hahaha. My only D2 4U here, I must say I really like it, considering how tiny it is; a real workhorse as well as fun for odd jobs. Thank you for sharing pics and video. JM

Here is another one that wanted to come out and play too. It has never left the ranch since it was purchased. 2F4249.

I am glad you liked the video. It was a nice day to run them around a little.
Left to right.
4u7498 Direct start. My dad purchased new. Good power and starts as long as batteries are kept up. I use it every other year in rotation with next one. Cat #41 Pump.
4u7501 Pony Motor. A friend purchased new and I am 2nd owner. Good runner, good power. I use every other year with my dads. They both have the larger engine. so powerful.
4u980 Converted to direct electric. Was my grandfathers, sold in the late 50's and I bought it back from second owner 10 years ago. I use occasionally.
4u290 Good runner,. I use occasionally.
3j8203 I purchased from original owner 25 years ago. It was completely rebuilt 40 years ago and is great runner. Engine "barks" sounds great.
5u11779 PTO runs good and doesn't fit in 8' vineyard so only used to push stakes in the ground.

Its good that others appreciate them.
Thanks,
Gary

You have many to be proud of. Very nice of you to share, especially taking some effort to line them all up for easier viewing. Show off. LOL. Just kidding...
I never thought I would like having a few D2's here myself. Fun to own, and don't take up a lot of room. Easy to see why so collectible.
Okay, bring out the rest of them that you have been holding out on! Thanks. JM

Wow Gary, they're all good and the Twenty-Two is an absolute gem. Everything about it is good; one location since new (88 years ago!), runs as it should and can do a day's work, in its work clothes, and in good hands. My cousin's tractor is a 1J so a year or two younger. It's at least in the same town it was purchased new in, but no relation to the original purchaser. Runs but needs a little bit more rehab (leaky fuel tank, carb heat components missing, needs a new manifold (Byron! I'm patient but ideally before I die.... : ), and the seat is nowhere near as nice as yours.

Cheers,
Neil

Very cool pics and vids, thanks so much to taking the time to get them out and share with us all!
Awesome to have them still in the family, and hopefully for generations to come.
