I have a 57 D-15 which I like for many reasons. It is a bit light HP wise to handle everything I need to do on our acreage. I'm considering a D-17 either diesel or gas. The early D-15's don't have what I describe as live hydraulics which makes loader work difficult. Some where I recall reading that Allis improved the hydraulics on the D Series to provide constant pressure whether the clutch was engaged or disengaged.

Do the later model D-17's have the upgraded hydraulics? Does any one know what year/ serial # determines the change from the old to the improved hydraulics?

No D-15's have Live Hydraulics from the Factory.

Live Hydraulics can be added with a front mounted pump like the Model 415 Loader.

The last Model D-17, the D-17 Series IV has Live Hydraulics from the Factory.

The Live Pump is located on the R/H side of the Tractor where the Optional side belt pulley would be located.

Thanks Gary. I see on tractor Data that production of the D-17 series IV began in 1964 w SN 75001. Were there any additional improvements made in the later years 1966 thru 1967 that one would want?

I believe the only other notable change was the availability of a rear 3 pt hitch as an option in place of the standard Snap Coupler.

My recommendation would be to look for a D-17 Series 4 with a gasoline engine. Engine parts for the D-17 diesel are hard to find and expensive.
