Well actually more than I thought it should but, the engine has a fresh overhaul, new injectors, injector pump overhauled, new clutch & pressure plate. Four new tires, and all the gauges & lights work. So I will be honest and say $6000.. Probably too much but it a very late year (I think). I have other pictures if I could figure out how to downsize them so they would post. ------------- Don't worry about the mule going blind, just load the wagon. |

| Thats a real deal!! What tires cost and being a diesel makes that a great buy!!! One is coming up for auction next week, I'm intrested what it will sell for. If the economy was better I would think about it but as of now I will remain a dreamer. Ryan |

| I would say $6K for a rebuilt series IV D17 diesel is a great purchase. Lets see - factory 3pt, factory live hydraulics, reliable power director, beautiful styling of the early D series -wow! Did I mention that its a diesel?? Congrats, you have a great tractor. I want to hear that diesel power up & go plowing.... |

As far as the plowing thing, now I have to find a plow that sort of fits this tractor. Everything I have is a cat 1 hitch and the only plow I have is an old single bottom three point that I used on another tractor. ------------- Don't worry about the mule going blind, just load the wagon. |

Hopefully here are a few more pictures if I got it right. But knowing me, I probably didn't..

I want to thank everyone for the encouragement regarding this recent purchase. I think my wife is beginning to question my sanity, (again).
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a source for manuals for this tractor? It seems everybody on the net is offering manuals. But, I remember reading some advice on where to look some time ago.
Thanks Again, ------------- Don't worry about the mule going blind, just load the wagon. |
