How about some photos of WORKING D17s?

Great photos guys thanks for sharing!

  Nah...thats just the way it was when I bought the tractor. You are correct though, the lights work very well. 

KY.Allis had the 170 fenders on his too. I like the way they look.

Nice Pictures. Here are ours:










And the "other orange" late night cutting completed:

Dan D,
Great videos, is that your Dad? I don't have any sound on this computer. I thought he was pointing to another shovel and telling you to get to work on the the feed grinder:)!
Dan 73,
That second cutting of hay looks nice with a 17 on the rake!

After now owning my first D17 for several months I am firmly attached to itI I have to get some pictures loaded!

That is my dad.  He actually was pointing at the bare ears of corn that the dear had eaten.  He wanted me to get pictures of that and show how deer come right into the yard and eat.  You can see how deep the snow was at that time though.

Dan73,
 Sorry my mistake. Get that 17 together!
Creston,
What are you doing in the middle of the field? Opening up the center? That is a good picture and I can see what mine should look like with the PO colored grill.

I just finished hauling wood, for the sugarhouse, with the D17 this year. Had a good time running it! Power steering sure made it easier to back the trailer around too. Was almost ready to do some fall plowing.

I guessing the low-side of second gear ??

Allis sold the D-17 as a 5 plow tractor. So I found a 5-14 slat bottom real close to home. My dad and uncle said that it would never pull it. I told them Allis usually under sold the equipment and it should handle it well. So I head out and start plowing the hay field. I thought I was going to be eating crow. First gear low range and that tractor was scratch in the dirt snorting and complaining . I tuffed out and after the bottoms started scouring it got a whole lot better. By the time I was done the tractor was in 3rd gear and jumping between low and high range. No wheel weights just fluid in the tires.

Ditto where I grew up. It would have had trouble pulling four bottoms.

Heck down there at Joes it could probably pull a 12 bottom till the goat heads pop the tires... All that sand would turn over easy as long as you don't hit bolders...
