Technically Yes, but you are putting an engine rated at the belt of 34.63HP, in a tractor that depending on the series, was designed around an engine running 250 RPM faster, and rated at 52.70hp at the belt. As you can see, it will work, but the tractor will not perform to your liking, but with some money you can change all of that. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

| I would not recomend putting a WD engine in a D-17, I would recomend putting a diesel engine in if it had a gas job if you can find a diesel block for it. |

If you have a WD45 block and you want to switch your D17 internals over you can but you'll need the WD45 crank. If it's a later D17 you'll be losing the full flow oil system.
I suppose you have a D17 with a bad block and a WD45 or at least the block. I would look for a D17 block, or an E Gleaner motor instead but you gotta do what you can afford to do. ------------- AGCO My Allis Gleaner Company |
