I really want one in original paint, no loader on it a plus. Can't tell what is covered up or abuse sometimes with new paint. A one owner or second owner tractor would be great. Thanks Tracy Martin ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

Looking for a shedded unmolested low hours original paint is tough at best. Don't mind paying a premium for it. Just want the tractor to be all it can be. These repaints, and loader tractors rode hard and put up wet won't do. If they truely have low hours they will show it. Still searching.

I'll keep an eye out at the auctions. That is where I have bought almost all of my tractors. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

John, auctions or an estate sale is probably the best place, after straight from an owner wanting to downsize. Tracy Martin ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

I don't understand, why do you think that tractor is repainted? The only parts that look to be repainted are the rear wheel weights, and I'm guessing that's because someone wanted them black instead of cream. Also how do you know those are not original tires? I have looked at all the pictures and what I see is a nice, clean, original, 175D. Am I missing something? ------------- In Search Of: 1958 Allis Chalmers D17 Diesel serial #9643D |

| Yes, there are 2 in ky. I think the one that has a pic is diesel. The other is no pic and limited description. |

RW ,take a real good look at the photos. The easy to tell is always the dash photo. Look at wishbone and engine. Overspray on the hood latches. Dirt and grease at gear shift lever. On and on,but that is just my opinion. What do the others think. Kinda interested in that now. Tracy Martin ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

take a look at the photo that shows the steering cylinder, you can easily see the overspray on the hydrualic lines leading there. It definitely has had orange sprayed one time or another after the original. I think they are out of line on the price as well, and I don't quite believe the description to be all fact. IMHO |

| Should have added I don't deny the fact that it could still be a great machine., May have been one owner too, But I don't think its as pristine as the descrip sayss |
Posted By: Jordan(OH)
Date Posted: 25 Apr 2012 at 10:10pm
| Maybe its just me, but I don't see a repainted tractor there. The hydraulic lines mentioned is cracked old paint, not overspray. What I'm looking at is the hand clutch, floor boards, and pedals all show very little wear. I'm not defending the tractor as I know nothing about it, and I agree, it is WAY overpriced. |

The dogbone under the seat is nearly worn through as it looks to me. The paint is differant shades over the tractor. The dash and hood paint are aged differantly. Paint on the hood looks way better than the steering wheel and cap. But I may be wrong. I wouldn't go look at it expecting original paint. Engine actually looks totally a new paint and over a little crud under altenator. JMHO Tracy Martin ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

My boss when I was in highschool had a tractor with a loader on it, was a pretty nice machine...I suppose a lot of folks abuse them but so far the ones I've had dealings with were ok. I was trying to help till I realized the guy was looking for new condition for the price of rode hard and put up wet. 1.He'll find a specific tractor in fixer-upper condition for a good deal. 2.He'll find a specific tractor in great condition for a kings ransom. I agree that $20,000 tractor was insane, I'd swear they must have put an extra zero in there.

Holy cow, 20 G's for a 175? Those steering cylinder hose lines hanging down underneath look like good candidates for getting snagged on something. For 20 G's those hoses should be properly secured.

I think the 20k tractor might be legit, but I wouldnt say till I could see it for sure. That being said the seat is the major thing that makes me think otherwise with it ripped. We have two extremely nice low houred tractors in our collection and have had some tell us they are two good for original but our mechanic says they have all the factory runs in the paint. And he has work for an AC/AGCO dealership since 1975. 7000 has 1675 Hours 185 has 990 Hours. Just a comparison

Thats not too far away, the guy before the current owner, had it listed with a brush hog, for $5000 on CL. This guy I am guessing low balled that, and is now asking $5500 for just the tractor. He is a local wheeler/dealer. ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |
