White & Bright - full of light.... An important shop detail. It makes it easier on the eyes. M I on the otherhand, have a light attached to my forehead so that I can see. It looks like the D17 is off to a great start. Do you have an overhead hoist or just using rafters for suspension of chains? Thanks for sharing..

Way too much room in there. You need ten more tractors.

Tires were shot and rotten when the previous owner acquired it. His neighbor had these construction tires lying around so he put them on.

Not really.................
I've been buying parts for this thing since the mid to early 90's...........................
The joke around here between my dad and I is that "I'm restoring the D17 this winter right?"........................
Well, it just seems that is finally actually happening!!....

She's done. Well, 95% done. Still waiting for a wiring harness and then plan to replace the construction tires. Got to paint up the plow and get her hitched up next.............

I happen to know how hard it is to make a tractor look like that, and you did an incredible job. Paint and color looks great, I hope my WD comes out half as good, Trev.
