D2 5U1164 Overview and Steering Clutch inspection

I walk you around the 1948 D2 5U1164 and take a look inside the steering clutch adjustment compartment.

Great start ... Tool boxes are 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre'

Hehehe - yes they are, always interesting to see what lands in them

@@froghairfarm Old fuel filters? Oh I see what they did ... put the old fuel filters in the toolbox so it covers the tools with fuel oil so they don't rust. 😂🤣😂

You will be able to adjust the steering some; I’ve had some where the square head barely protrudes from the clamp. After it’s been driven awhile, you likely will have to back the adjustment off, as the frictions/disks will clean themselves.

When I get the pony back together I'll give it a run regardless, but would have liked to have a bit more adjustment!

What is the serial number?

[@froghairfarm]

5U 1164 on this tractor

@@froghairfarm Early Sept. 1948 my best recollection.

[@froghairfarm]

I would think that's about right. I can't recall when production started in '47

[@Fatamus]

@@froghairfarm I assume they started at the half year mark June 30th because they only made 666, in 1947, and 1,532, in 1948.
