| Well ,I just found a D17 series 4 diesel wide front ,and quickly purchased it . I have a couple questions ,Is the center hood support the same as a d19 ? Also ,can anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement grill screen? I found her at an old farm supply off in the weeds . Glad to have her ,it turns over , but gotta take fuel filters and batteries to get her running . Should be fun . |

| Congratulations on your purchase. A series IV is a very desirable tractor. I have a gasser but would love to have a diesel also. Hopefully a couple batteries and filters can get you going but there might be more to it and that's why it was sitting. A diesel will cost much money if more engine work is needed and done right. Keep us posted and maybe some pictures. Ryan |

| Will do Ryan ,I’m glad to have her ,I am a generator technician by trade , so I have been around a lot of engines . I see that these old D17s have had their share of troubles . I will want to pull the hood and give her a look before I put it to work . She’s sorry looking now but some repairs and then cosmetic and paint she will be very nice . Thanks for the comment ! |

Welcome to the forum! Nice buy on the 17 series IV! Good tractor, will give many years of service if serviced regularly. Mikez owns a A-C dealership located in Selkirk, NY, he will prolly chime in and welcome you. I would recommend him for any new or used parts you may need. The D17 sheet metal is not interchangeable with the D19, except the center hood section, A-C part # 235380. Diesel D17 is same as gas/diesel D19 ------------- www.awtractor.com A&W TRACTOR 920-598-1287 KEEPING ALLIS-CHALMERS IN THE FIELDS THROUGH THE 21ST CENTURY |

| I bought a d19 center section today ,thank you for the tip on the local dealer ! I love the tractor and would like to keep it original ,I doubt she will see much hard use . We are going to use it for blueberries and some vegetable farming . Restoring it to its original class is first . |

| Thanks for your reply, I've been looking for it for 20 plus years. I did buy a replacement for it, but still would like to find his tractor, as I still have the operator's manual with the date of purchase, dealer and his signature. Good luck with your 8N search, and with your 17, is yours 3 pt., or snap coupler equipped? |
