Greetings! I have been on the forum for several weeks now studying and learning all I can but there does Seem to be too much written about the DL25! I bought this from California and had it shipped over to Missouri. I like having something different and this certainly fits That criteria. I Intend to cosmetically restore as needed to show condition. I do not Necessarily need to win the shows but I would like to enter for fun! As I continue to learn, I have several questions that I'm hoping the experts on this forum may be Able to help me with ... 1. My serial number is: 15306 IRDT IIGM00880M Does anyone have any idea what year this tractor is? I think it is some time in the early 1960s but there is almost no information here in the United States! What does the number mean? I have read only about 200 were built. Does anyone have production numbers? How many were built? 2. The tractor has no brakes. I have not started taking the tractor apart yet to figure out how to go about Replacing them. Any suggestions? Ideas? 3. Does anyone have any literature on the DL25? Owners manual? Sales brochure? It runs and drives great, I am just wanting to find out more about it! Thank you for all your help!
