| I purchased this d17 in the fall and I noticed that it has 38inch rubber and seems to be a high crop. It is a gas engine and has a narrow front end with power steering. If anyone could help me learn what this is I would appreciate it. I can't post a picture because the file is too large but I can email you pictures if wanted. |

What you likely have is a high clearance D-17. Is it dual narrow front wheels or single wheel? A high crop D-17 is real tall. You can email pictures and I can likely tell you more. there are four series of D-17's. Email address is in my profile. Click on my name.

Decent looking tractor. Looks to be a 1959. Did the narrow fronts have braces going back to the torque tube?

| 59 sounds about right. I looked up the serial number but wasn't sure if it was 57-59. It's defiantly series I. And those braces just bolt to the bottom of the bell housing below the fly wheel |

| I don't think a standard narrow front had any braces |

The grill makes me think you'll find your serial number falls in this range: Series I - Black Bar grill 1959 24001 – 28199 1960 28200 – 31625 |

Can you post some closeup pictures of the front end. Something going on there that I haven't seen before. It still has the brackets for the front mount cultivators. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

| Look at the high crop spacer under the front end...most original high crops have some sort of spacer in the spindles or under the front..Mark |

There is a peice called the bearing holder that bolts onto the main front casting if you have a single front wheel on a D series tractor. The single front yoke is the same as for the WD-45. Since the 'spacer' appears to be similar to a bearing holder, I'm wondering if they are using the narrow front conversion that the WD-45's used when you mounted a corn picker on a wide front tractor. In that case the whole pedestal turns with the wheels. It would bolt together. The standard D series narrow front bolts directly to the main casting with the pedestal stationary and a shaft steers the wheels. I have some of each. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |
