| Just saw a D17 diesel. Serial # D17 240092D. Is this a late 1960? It had a narrow front and a turbo charged diesel with the tach cable unhooked. This makes me think that it was a conversion with a combine engine. Owned by a tractor scalper. Runs nice but needs a lot of tlc. Wants 2800. Can anyone give me advice on the originality of this tractor? |

The D17 wasn't turboed. What kind of shape are the tires in? Will he let you drive it and see if it jumps out of gear? |

Could be a D19 engine or it has had the turbo from a D19 added. I don't believe any combines had a turbo 262.

| It's been a long time since I've seen a turbo on a D-17 diesel, but there's no way it fits under the stock hood, is there?? I think the hood had to have a bubble in it ?? |

| The hood was cut out. It had the seat, steering wheel, and drawbar off a series 2 but the serial # of a 1959 so I am thinking it was a mechanic’s “dream”. |

Not according to Norm Swinford's book. But I believe it is possible. There are engine options in the A combine manuals not mentioned in his book. ------------- 1970 190XT, 1973 200, 1962 D-19 Diesel, 1979 7010, 1957 WD45, 1950 WD, 1961 D17, Speed Patrol, D14, All crop 66 big bin, 180 diesel, 1970 170 diesel, FP80 forklift.

I've seen a D17 with the 19 turbo on it, makes a mess out of the hood with the holes cut to make them fit. One of the guys on the Facebook sale site had a complete running D262T out of a C2 for sale. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

The D17D used the 262. I have absolutlely NO doubt that guys have adapted turbos from other applications to fit, and I'm CERTAIN that SOME guys have figured out how to make the hair-dryer hide under the stock tin.

I wish. She'd kill me... and I'd kill me too. The workshop is highest priority right now... need LOTS of liquid rock, and a little steel. Once that's done, I'll get these projects done, then mebbie take on another. ;-) ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem.
