Hey, let me say welcome to the forum. That is a nice looking D-17 you've got there, big enough to do what you need and small enough not to break the bank on fuel. ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

thank you. It has been on the farm for along time. I just cant wait to get it back up and running right. I almost dont want to repaint the tractor. the rear blade is great. I will have to get pics of it hook to the plows and disk. |

I dont think the front wheels are the correct wheels. what do i need to look for to make them correct? i wouldnt mind putting a 3 rib tires up front on those existing rims. but i am not sure how it would look with the wider tires up front |

Nice lookin D-17!
Those are car wheels and tires on the front. I am sure somebody has the right wheels on here, if you want them.

Welcome to the best Allis site there is.
Nice D-17; Series II.
It has the fully pressurized oil system and modern filter.
I picked up a D-17 a couple of years ago with Ser. #34633; only 226 machines before yours.
Your tin work is much, much better than mine as the prior owner had "rolled" it
once.
I have a WD and a coupla WD-45s. The "45" is a step up from the WD and I think the D-17 is a couple of steps above the "45".
The power steering and the Hi-Lo "power director" are real nice features to say nothing of the extra power and the more comfortable ride amidship.
' hope you get her percolating and when you do you will really like that machine.
I have a blade like yours but at times I sure wish I had extensons on mine.
The front wheels are the same as used from the WC right thru the D-17 Series III so you should be able to find them fairly readily. There are reproduction wheels out there too.

Nice D 17. I'm curious as to why the front axle is adjusted wider on one side. ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |

well i haven't moved the axle since my grandpa has passed away in 2001. i really only run the tractor to plow my pumpkin patch and disk it and havent had a reason to change that. he ran it that way. He got me in to farming and allis tractors so i just really havent touched what he did. may sound kinda weird. So that is why the tractor is shifted the way it is
