Last TD14,142 series built in 1958.Bare tractor weighs approx 20500 lbs (no way it is 38000 lbs even with a blade! ) If it starts on gas ,then switches to diesel,it is most certainly NOT a Perkins diesel!! Not sure where you would have come up with that little gem.

Welcome, I have one just like it I don't know if it's right but a previous owner told me Clyde was about 28k +or- that's with a 12' blade (too dang much) and 20" pads and canopy.

Welcome aboard OKLA,,

Anytime that my Uncle saw an engine that he had no clue what it was , He called it a "Deutz" or a "Perkins"

277298-R 1 Will be the IH part number of the component the number came from ,

If you take a peek at the construction forum there is serial number listing ,and year of manufacture , Lots of folks have 14's on here .

Have fun with your new toy , would love to see some pictures
