oldscoutdiesel Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Information I can find shows that the TD-18 had 6 rollers but I have wrong before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray54 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 That head ack rack cable blade is most times a Letourneau. But something is a bit different about this one. I think the braces are a bit different than most. Not thinking of any other manufacturer that used overhead the same as Letourneau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardtail Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Here you can see 5 on original 18, 18A may have had both, 181 and 182 series I believe had 6, usually apparent by how far back the tracks start in relation to front end or rad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
td9bcf180 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 If you look at the size of the man in pede's picture and the man in hardtail's photo, then I would say that pede's Dad was driving a TD14. I know that TD9's had 5 roller, extended track frame as an option. My 56 has it. My 51 doesn't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I have no technical knowledge to contribute to this but I'd reckon that, in no nightmare of the time, did a TD 18 have a single exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardtail Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Only the very last 182's had single exhaust and were starting to look like a different machine, they had a 3 piece hood that was higher to cover the horizontal muffler underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pede Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 So Hardtail, the 182's were what, late 50's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardtail Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Seems like 57-58 then they came in with TD20 200/201 series which were almost the same, real changes came with the 20B which would be early 60's, correction I was off by a year...

pede Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I started on, what dad always called the 18A, but now think it was a 182. We also had at that time a 20/201 which was for the most part the same tractor with a few improvements and more HP but believe the undercarriage was the same size. The B series was the start of the collaboration with Stalowa Wola. Anyways I will agree my picture is a TD14. Thanks everybody! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike newman Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 ....hardly construction..but a picture of my old T20...pulling some offset discs, on the head land of a tobacco paddock...Circa early 1960's.... Mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard_P Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I've got a question perhaps you can answer Mike. I ran across a video of a transmission swap and installation of an auxiliary in an AR-160 ( The auxiliary was called a Joey. Here they are often called a Brownie because a common aux. in the past was made by Brown-Lipe. Do you know the origin of the Joey name?

Mike I really enjoy your tobacco farming farming pictures, Mike. I can’t say that I enjoyed it that much while I was doing it, but often find myself missing those days now. Tobacco farming “here” is also a thing of the past. There are still tobacco barns around, but every time there is a bad storm, another one falls in. Since they are of no value for anything except burley tobacco, they are not rebuilt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, DFP...and as I slowly sort those old 35mm ''slides'' out ..I have a lot of 'tobacco pictures' ,,,we had a big acreage of flu cured tobacco...no air dried burley.....but there was a lot of burley grown by other blokes around the area The T20 picture was more about my enjoyment for getting old relics going again....rather than showing off the latest tractor technology......
