Sounds like you're looking at a parts machine. Frozen pedals aren't so bad, but the power director lever not movable might be serious. Was there any water in the trans? If there is, I would probably part it. Good fenders for D series are hard to find. I might go $800. You could probably get your money out of it still. ------------- "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."

If you are parting it, and it has good fenders pm me please?! AS far as what I would give him, what you offered is about what he would get for iron price, maybe slightly more, but then remind him, that he has to do all the work to get it to the iron man, where as for about the same money, you will do all the work. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

I don't think the scrap yard pays much for water. Sounds like a money pit unless you plan on parting it out.

Nope $800 tops. You still have to take all the "stuff" off advertise, haggle and ship assuming you part it out. You have to assume worst case on the engine and tranny.

If it is the older power steering (pump between the dist and governator) let me know if you buy it to part out. Someday I would like to have the luxury of PS. .....hay I can dream you know.
cheers,

| If the gearshift boot is torn and/or the trans fill cap missing, the tranny is probably junk because of rainwater. |

Actually, I need so many parts, if you decide to go that way, let me know, if you decide to pass on it, let me know that too.
Thanks,

| I thought my d17 for $1250. was a bargain, but $1000. for a parts tractor seems like a little much. The scrap yards I do business with would only pay tops $155.00 a ton tops for it has to be downsized. |

my ol man checked the trans fluid and it was fine. as far as hi/lo leaver i didnt take much time with it it could be just the lock button? and the fenders
are in very good shape!!!! what would a complete engine cost any idea's ? ------------- 6060 s\n 5016 1947 JD B |

I've seen complete "running" engines on ebay for around $750.00, not suer if that is the right way to go, I don't think I would charge that much depending on how much stuff was still bolted to it? ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

Sounds like I need to go find a great shape non runner, and part it out to you guys, and keep what I need. :) ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

lol! you might be right orangeblood the way every one needs parts! the worst part is that i want a D-17 in the worst way cause my grand pap and dad farmed with one and it the first tractor i can remember riding on with my dad. my dad traded it in on a 6060 fwd. in the mid 80's. and their just are not many d-17's around the my area anymore ------------- 6060 s\n 5016 1947 JD B |
