Ryan has the mount I need for my 82S mower so I’m very pleased to hear that. Will be doing some mowing hopefully by next week. Will be so nice to have PS instead of pure muscle on the WD. Looking forward to PD also.

I don't think it's an ugly Duckling. I think it's a good looking tractor. Hope everything runs good and you enjoy it.

Thanks Dave, maybe next fall after fixing some leaks and using it this summer she will get a correct paint job and decals. That’s the plan anyway. Needs a steering wheel immediately, this one is hard on the hands. My list of parts is quite extensive lol

Removed my 82S mower off my WD this evening. Kinda sad now as the ole WD I bought a few years ago and replaced a lot of parts on to make it right needs to be sold. Hasn’t been started since late October and she popped off on the 1st turn over on the 6V battery that wasn’t even put on a charger over winter. Replacing the battery cable with wielding cable made a huge difference. Wish I had room for her but I don't. Goes up for sale shortly.

Got my 82S rear pto assembly moved over to the D17 today. Machine shop is making me a new bracket that goes from the end of the pto support bracket to the bull gear drive housing. WD bracket is too short. Neat how this mower fits so many models with minor changes to the mounting system. Looking forward to having power steering and a PD. Also got the wielded on steering wheel nut off, soaking the steering wheel to hopefully get it off tomorrow.

I know what you mean. I have a family WD45 that I restored and love. I got a D17 SIII gas last summer and it is sooo much nicer than the WD45. Power steering, A regular seat, nice slow reverse for backing up wagons, and A hood that comes off really easily. I think you'll really like it.

Nice looking tractor !!
On a side-note, did the '17 have the raised, chrome lettering on the side hoods on certain years ?

Received a box full of goodies today, steering wheel, gauges, seat rebuild parts if the frame can be saved, 2 latch rebuild kits, bull gear pan gaskets. I know those have never been off, so it’s probably full of crud. Also waiting for some used parts to be shipped. Getting along pretty well, old steering wheel is being quite difficult to remove. Soaking it for a few days.

Diesel is easier for a 433-T transplant because the clutch shaft is shorter than a gasser and for power steering there's 3 more inches of room doing hydrostatic steering like I did.

I was unaware until I got my series one that a cigar lighter was available, and mine has it! I’m not a smoker but I thought that was neat lol. Have 2 new clutch pedal bushings coming to take the wobble out hopefully. Also the rubber boot over the manifold heater push button. SLI had both in stock. Going to start taking the seat frame apart tomorrow, hope I can save it. It’s really worn. New bushings and seat shock assembly have arrived also. Having a good time with it so far.

Yeah like Charlie said the seat frame pins can be a challenge . I did both of our D 15s . Also on the clutch pedal shaft I used 3 bushings , cut one in half . Worked well . Your D 17 may be different . Good Luck !

Seems like everything had a cig lighter in the 60's-70's. Wish my 8070 had one so I could charge my phone! One of them "get aroundtoits".

Steve that did surprise me they didn’t have a 12v outlet but then again cell phones were only beginning to become available…and usually only the wealthy could afford them. Smoking had become frowned upon as doctors encouraged everyone to stop. Today cell phones and electronics have taken off, most vehicles have multiple outlets. Other than Charlie’s D17 I really haven’t been around very many D17’s so I never noticed the cigar lighter. We have a D15 but it did not come with one nor do I believe it was an option for it.

Good luck with the seat. That's on my list for this summer. The small bottom pivot on mine has the bushings worn through, but not terrible. Let me know how it goes!

Charlie stopped by after we mowed, conditioned, teded hay today. After some map gas for 10 minutes, she popped off. After it cooled down, the new steering wheel is in place. Baby steps, lol

Pulled the tach to send to Haim at Star Speedometer for repair. Typical tach works and the hour meter doesn’t. Will be interesting to see the hours when it broke, unable to see them now. She has a lot of hours going by the pedal wear. Sure runs well though, new clutch, rear main seal, head gasket was a big plus when deciding to buy it. Steering shaft from the steering joint to the bolster is worn, pulled it off this evening to have it rebuilt. Seams easier to replace the shaft and have the gear drive wielded onto a new shaft. |

Yes he does, he did our D15 seriesII and my XT tach. They work and look like brand new. I found another oddity. Book shows clutch pedal should have 2 bushings at serial number 24001. Mine is a 24587. Bushings arrived today and when I pulled the pedal off there was no evidence of bushings. The new bushings fit the shaft great but won’t go in the clutch pedal. So another trip to drop it off at the machine shop to have it bored. This is starting to drive me nuts when getting parts. You would think at tractor 587 after the serial number change over previous parts from early model would have been used up by then.

I been following the posts on your AC diesel D-17 tractor and it nice looking original tractor. I curious to see the side mounted sickle mower on the D-17 tractor. My father had a ( we called it it a belly mower ) side mounted sickle mower on a Ferguson TO-20 tractor growing up. It got traded in on aMF-35 diesel tractor my senior year in high school. I wish I talked my father into keeping it and just buying the MF-35. They are great for clipping pastures because you can see what you are doing without looking behind you. Looks like the tractor going be real nice when you are done ( not like it not now ).

After applying some super clean, I should be able to see where I have diesel fuel leaks lol! And now I can see someone had the pump rebuilt. PO#2 was the give away. Tom I will post some pictures when I get it on, really looking forward to using it. Patiently waiting for Ryan to ship parts I have requested. |

Started the seat tear down this afternoon. Every shaft is rusted in place. Had no choice but to use my cordless cut off wheel to cut the shafts. Will try to press out tomorrow. Not sure if new shafts are available. |

And those are almost impossible to get out! I had to drill mine out. I used round stock steel for my shafts.

Lay the seat frame on it's side with the roll pin end down. Rest/support the pins pocket with a piece of pipe, socket, whatever. It has to be solid and straight up and down. With a 7/16" or near 1/2" punch, beat on the other end of the suspension pin with a 4 lb hammer. Usually just a few whacks will shear off the roll pin and it's much easier to seal with. Knock out the two pieces from the pocket. Turn the pin end for end. Drill a new hole thru the pin. Removing those pins is miserable and shearing them off is the best way !!!
