My D17 Series II

I keep asking a lot of question on her so I decided to snap some photos to show you what I have.

Nice straight tractor, I've always been partial to the narrow front too.

I have one just like it.Love the NF.Never had one in the past but quickly am becoming a convert.Turns easier and looks better.Tires look OK, fly wheel base minus pulley is a plus,How much? I paid 1700 and your tires are better.

Brian G. I believe you are correct on the series I and II differences. The bar grill were just a late series one. Series II debuted in 1960 with the PO2 and creme wheels. Very nice looking D-17 by the way.

30+ A-Cs ranging from a 1928 20-35, to a 1984 8070FWA, Gleaner R52

I am still in need of help with the front pedestal shimmy. I replaced the lower bearing and seal which were shot, made sure the coupler matched the lower and upper shafts and had no play, but I have slack in the gear mesh in the power steering unit. I checked the gears for wear when I had it apart and I did not see any wear. If I have the front lifted up I can rotate the wheels side to side maybe 1/2 inch each way from center before it catches. Can the Ram shaft be adjusted in to take up slack? As this is where it seems the slack is. The steering worm gear and the main gear snicked up tight when I put it together.

Another thing new for the 1962 Series II is the thumb guard on the power director.

That appears to be the factory top link bracket for the Series I, II & III D-17.

BTW, the reason they call it a "Bracket for P.T.O." is that the other version of the 3PH adaptor places the top link bracket on a bar between the lower arms which precludes the use of PTO powered equipment but does allow full use of the traction booster feature.

Charlie, on the power steering rack on the right side of the bolster underneath the cowling sheetmetal there is a plate about 4 inches square with 4 flathead bolts in it. If you take that plate off you can remove some of the shims to bring the rack up tighter to the gear if that will help. HTH

I will try that next, thanks

Overall, that's a fine looking D17. All the panels look to be in good shape. A little elbow grease and it should look like new in no time. How's the engine running on it?

Verne - Looking for a teejet sprayer for my tractor

Does anyone know where I can get the center handwheel replacement for the top link?

Verne, yes it does run pretty good although I have nothing to at my house that will test it. I'm pulling in the 5,000lb class tonight so I will get to see how much umph it has.

PB, it does doesn't it! :)

If might run my helmet camera, just need to find a way to mount it.

Hmmm, high dollar piece is it? I will search around. Can't imagine how someone broke it off.

Got there late, the pull order was not the same as posted on the web at sign up and we were up first so I had to run around unloading and didn't get to take any pictures.

Track was tight, I elected to pull 1st gear which it hummed along OK in, only pulled back to low at the end and it was still powering through it as I spun out. 2nd would have been to much though. Last 10' I hit the same spot as many of the previous pullers and it pulled hard right to the line. I guess I made a bad line choice. Front danced a little as I only had my B rear weights on the back. Weighed in at 4700

I forgot to lower my PSI as my dad said the rears never buckled so I am sure that would have helped. Right wheel slipped on the ecentrics and tucked all the way so I need to take them off and get them freed up.

It was funny as the announcer keep saying "now this is a great STOCK tractor and wished there were more of them".
