Looking for my grandfather's 1965 D17 series 4 diesel, sn 79556, last known to be in the Clara City, MN area on a farm sale sometime in the mid '80's, sale was conducted by Abner Jacobson. It had 18.4 x 28 rears on widened rims, wide front, Full Vision cab, homemade 3pt. adapter made from an allis cultivator hitch, and a Paulson loader on it when my grandfather traded it off to Lund Implement in Madison, MN. Perhaps it's still in the Clara City area, but the trail's gone cold. I'd sure like to find it and bring it back home again. Any leads are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure.

Thanks for the replies, gentlemen! I've been looking for it off & on for about 15 years or so with not much luck until a couple years ago when I found where it went after it left Lund's. I found my dad's '66 190XT he bought new and found grandpa's '71 XT series 3 he bought new, both by dumb luck with an interesting story for each one, so I can't give up on the D17 just yet.
