I bought a D17 from Ebay on Wednesday and it was in Rogers Arkansas. Thursday it was here in Illinois. Wow!
 The white stuff isn't a dirty lense, we've been getting some snow here.
This is a series I bar grill, I have an early series I with the mesh grill, a series II and a series IV. I only need a series III and I'll have a complete set of D17 gas tractors.
I have the expensive ones left to fill in my collection
I have unstyled and styled WCs, a WD and a WD45. I'd like unstyled and styled WFs
I'd like a 170, a one seventy and one seventy five (All gas).
But this has depleted the "Fun fund" for awhile. LOL! This one runs nice but needs some mechanical TLC. and cosmetics.

| Nice collection Dave. Now myself, I just like the black bar grill tractors. Some day I would like to own all of the B bar grill tractors. I have a long way to go, but for now I have two 17's, one high clearance diesel single front wheel , a narrow front gas and a 14. |

| If you don't mind my asking, what did you pay for it, I have one I have been asking $2500.00 and have no takers I thought it was a good deal. |

I gave $1750 for it, plus another $500 for shipping. It's a little rough, it runs great but will need some work to get it looking good. The brakes need adjusted and the power director too. I hope adjusting is all they need. LOL
I was bidding on another one on Ebay before this. It was a narrow front, that had new rear tires and was nicer all around. I stopped at $1900 and it went for $1925.

Dave, I bet it wouldn't have gone for $1,925 if you'd have kept bidding.LOL! That's the bad thing about auctions I guess. I saw a pretty nice looking D-17 diesel NF last Thursday while taking a lunch break. Grill screen was caved in. Other than that, it looked pretty good. Hope to get back in a couple of weeks to take a closer look. ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |

You've still got plenty of D17's to get to fill out your collection, propane's, diesels, high boys, industrial's, the list goes on and on. I suspect your new one liked it better in AR, looks kind of chilly in the picture, maybe you should put a blanket over it. Good find at a reasonable price.

| Only collect gas ones cheaper to repair & maintain and I'm addicted to the sound of them, would love a wheatland, highcrop or industrial but the price goes up real quick on those. LOL |
