It's the real thing. The Waterloo boy R was getting old and JD wanted to build a new and easier to handle tractor. So the designers hit the drawing boards. That was about 1915 I believe. It was built in 1917. It incorporated a lot of the features that the later Two-Cylinders would continue for years. A lot of the working parts were out exposed to the dust and Rainn so a cover had to be fabricated. This cover become known as the "bathtub cover" around the company, which led to its name of the Bathtub D. Actually, its bears little resemblance to the D. It looked more like a Waterloo Boy and actually used the Waterloo Boy name on the radiator. It used a Waterloo Boy R 2 Cylinder engine, and a steering system. In 1992 in Waterloo during a construction project the crew thought that they found a D main case, and Earl Scott bought it. Earl never had time to work on it and in 2011 sold it to Dan Thomas. Earl told Thomas that a number of pieces of scrap iron were stolen of his property , and the main case was dragged out and left behind because it weighed too much. Over the next 6 years the Bathtub D under went a full restation to the state that it is today. The rest is history.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
