The project started with the removal of the ugliest and biggest loader I have ever seen
on a TD9.Once that was out of the way I could work on the tractor. Repairs
included a full engine overhaul (sleeves, pistons, rod bearings), rebuild and repair
cracked head, rebuild injectors repair injection pump, make a complete new
wire harness, replace all gauges, rebuild main clutch, rebuild both steering
clutches, new seat, four new top rollers ,machine resleeve, and then rebush
both front idlers, disassemble entire machine sand blast or wire brush all parts
then prime and paint. I am sure I forgot some things but this is most of
it. 

Comment:  Mike has done a first class full restoration on this tractor.  Based on the recent pictures that Mike has provided I am now not sure what type of loader was not on this machine.  I had originally thought it was a BE30 Loader or the Bucyrus Erie Loader. It is the biggest ugliest loader I have ever seen.  There were several other companies like Adams and other that did make loader attachments for the TD9.
