Just to post it. No real reason. Like to see the pictures and need to look at something other than this snow we're having again.

| Dave, how big is that disk that you are pulling? I just got a D17 series 4 and my dad has a JD 12' disk over by him and he was going to sell it, and I told him to hang onto it for awhile for me. |

| Chuck, it's a 13' disk. No problem pulling it. It's really a nice combination. I really enjoy working it with the D17 IV. |

| I have a JD 12` disk and have pulled it with a D17 . The soil type and condition makes a big differance. Disking down corn stalks or grain stubble is no problem as you can pull it usually in 2nd Hi first pass and 3rd Hi after that . It`s when you have a soft plowed field and or steep hills you`ll be down in low range . Having at least 16.9 -28 tires with fluid and weights is a big help. |

Brings back good memories of the first Allis I ever drove when I was about 7 or 8 (Parents didn't know about it lol). We had an early series 4 diesel D17 (5 bolt front hubs) that my Dad traded in for a NH when I was about 12 I think (about 8 years ago). It apparently got sold to someone somewhere in KY, I think near the Indiana border or something like that, and is now restored to show quality. I still want to track it down and see it again one day. Great tractors. Ours was a SC instead of a 3pt too, as all of our stuff was SC until my Grandfather traded in our older fleet of D17s in for 180's except for the series 4 diesel. It was a great square baling tractor. Hurst ------------- 1979 Allis Chalmers 7000 5800 Hours |

Yeah its a project like most of the other tractors I buy but I enjoy fixing them and using them I plan to restore this tractor to better than new and then put it to work with the hope that it will last another 50 years ------------- 1938 B, 1945 B, 1941 IB, 1949 C, 2 1938 WCs, 3 1950 WDs, 1951 WD, 2 1955 WD45, 1957 D-14 |

Dennis; The tires are 14.9 x 38. My tractor came with the standard 16.9 x 28's. 13.6 x 38 were a high clearance factory option along with the long spindle front axle. I used this tractor to cultivate 400 acres of kidney beans and needed a narrow tire. This is the tire size that should have been standard equipment. I have since found a high clearance single front wheel that I may install since I've retired from growing kidney beans.
The rear rims are the same as a MF 65 high arch and that where these rims came from.
The front rims are from a Gleaner A for the correct offset to get a 60" spacing. The standard D-17 6 bolt fronts were either 58" or 62". Not good for following planter tracks.
The D-19 front rims also gave me a 60" spacing.

Very refreshing post. Calvin thanks for including where you got your taller rear tires. Great looking tractors - all of them. Dave(NE) great disk combination. Mike Groupa great looking mower rig. Andrew, you always have great tractors. Dennis in MI, I wish I had a shop & tractor like you have on your trailer - looks like hours of fun & entertainment getting the ol' diesel girl going again.
