Greg,

I suspect you are recalling a JD 435 which had a 2 cycle, 2 cylinder, 2-53, 106 CI, 1.7L Detroit
Diesel engine in it. They were made in the 1959 and 1960 model year. They are good pullers but
terribly hard on the ears. JD was experimenting before the Major announcement of the New Generation
tractors in the 1961 Model year.

With my brain cells being what they are anymore I have a question. 
Somewhere in my foggy memory, I seem to remember someone saying that at 
one time JD had a Detroit Diesel in one of their smaller tractors, 
perhaps a 2 cylinder. In a way this doesn't seem possible, but on the 
other hand one never knows. So, is this real or do I call the doctor on 
Monday. I tried looking online but found nothing except modified pulling 
tractors which in my opinion don't count.
