JD's 745 wagon

[Nevadan]

Here's some pictures of some of the modifications I've done to get my 745 fully operational.

Tinted windows, very dark on the back windows, legal darkness on the front's.

Looks great! Oil cooler should help with engine temps in hot weather. Rare to see a 700 series headliner still holding up -- was yours redone?

I've got a wagon in that same color -- I put early 760 10-spoke alloys on and liked the way it woke up the exterior appearance, esp on a wagon w/o roof rack. I'll see if I can find a picture...

It looks like a prior owner did glue the cloth to the pressboard or plastic. I'm not sure what an original looks like so have nothing to compare it to. I would guess the pressboard is different also.

I'll look for your picture with the other wheels.

In the summer it is frequently over 100 F here in Reno and Northern Nevada and I know the oil cooler will help the engine.

One of the best Pick-n-Pull finds I've ever made was the front seats. They are comfortable, they are mechanical and adjust easily and the leather was in very good condition.
