td-18

The oil seals for this are a CR 15250 , I’ve found that nobody ( at least around here ) has any on hand so my supplier got with the maufacturer and they will make them and they will be delivered 5 weeks after receiving the order , but they are spendy😕 The roller bearings are just as the factory sizes , the only difference is I had an annular groove added to help the lubricant be distributed throughout the roller and to reach the seals , they are 6-7 weeks after I submit the order . The only reason I offered this is to maybe help someone eliminate a bunch of legwork if finding all of this out in their own .

No unfortunately these don’t work for the td9 I’m sorry

I am having oil seals and bushings made for the early tractors and could obtain more if anyone is in need

Ya I don’t mind ... I think it’s a good color

Are you looking for a year of manufacture?

I think they are rated for 2 ton but they are only there for insurance

The color is as near as I can tell , all of my research indicated that the red pigment in the paint could vary from one factory to another and during world war 2 the pigment was very scarce sometimes. I was able to compare the new red that is on the T6 now to a few spots on another machine where it had been exposed to very little if no sun and it’s very close , but I will say I’ve never been to a tractor show where all of the red tractors were the same color . Just out of curiousity does it look right to all of you or is it off , I’m kind of curious ! Thanks

One of these days I hope to be able to show what I started with

Now onto rollers , idlers , track frames and tracks

Here are the tabs , I hope this helps

I’ll take some pictures tomorrow so that you can see how it is secured

It has some tabs that bend over and hold it in place , it has five squares per inch , I was able to find some at Steiner tractor parts

I know it a bit difficult to see but the casting date tag on the engine block reads 12-30-N according to the quick research I did that was 1944, I don’t think it looks to bad for being 73 years old today!

I ended up finding an original instruction manual on a large online auction , it was fairly spendy but worth it

It’s Omni MTK acrylic urethane
