I just stopped at Colfax Tractor Parts hunting for some lost pieces for my D17 and saw several 175 tractors with the grilles intact. Seems like I've heard that they are usually missing? Two of them were pretty nice, one was bent up but looked repairable if you happen to be good at straightening. Also saw a salvageable RH D17 fender and a decent grille shell. Also saw a complete P/S NF bolster minus the mud shield (sorry, I needed one for mine) for a D17. ------------- "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."

| Hi Brian, did you happen to see a grill for a 5045 there? |

I didn't see one of those there. I was mostly looking for D series though... ------------- "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." Henry Ford |

Brain, did the 175 have a 248 Perkins? I'm looking for a good crankcase breather tube that comes off the valve cover. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

There were two 175's there both diesel. If you're willing to do some work, the fender could be used. ------------- "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." Henry Ford |

I don't know the street name is actually posted. Go north on 117 from I-80, when it starts to go up hill and there's a paint ball park on the NE corner of the intersection, that's the road to Colfax Tractor Salvage. They are fairly visible from the road though. Gerald J. |

Can't miss them from I-80. Just give them a call and ask for Alan. He seems to know just about everything there off the top of his head. Charlie posted the phone #. They're there and open pretty much 7 days a week. ------------- "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."

The owner is Benny. He knows every inch of that yard, and where every washer and spacer is located. Dave works at the counter as well, he has been good to work with, too.
I was able to find a lot of pieces for my Two-Twenty at their yard. I was lucky they had one in better condition than what mine was! ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |

Brian, Did you happen to see any 160 tractors in the yard? We need some hydraulic system parts along with other bits and pieces and haven't been having much luck finding a good source of parts yet. Thanks, Erik |

It's been a while, but maybe a year ago they had several. ------------- "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." Henry Ford |
