I notice in various documentation that what is ostensibly referred to as an FDE, is sometimes called an FD. Does anyone know if there was a model called an FD, and if so, what was the difference between an FD and an FDE?
The FD started life in 1936 with a Hercules DHX engine. In 1938 the tractor was upgraded and the engine size increase to a DHXB engine. In 1941 due to a shortage of Hercules engines the FDLC with a Cummins was made. In 1945 it became the FDE with a Hercules DFXE engine. IT was made until 1952 and then the OC 18 came out.
Thanks Robert, your knowledge continues to astound me!
