I don't know what the setup looks like on a D-17 gas (mine is a diesel). I know that the WD had a partial filtering system. Oil was pumped to the bearings and filter simultaneously. Some goes to the filter, some goes to the bearings. You can find alot about it in the archives by searching for WIX filters. I know a lot of folks have agonized about the WC/WD/C/CA/B oil filter system. Allis eventually determined full filtering was better and instituted the change on the D-17, I believe. However, WD, WC and WD-45 tractors have worked well with the original design for a half of a century. The engines commonly got 5000 (and more) hours between overhauls (ours did at least). Most people today are hardly using these tractors. We used to plow 14 hours a day with them and noone ever suggested the improvement. A typical year saw 1000 hours. So, I think it is an improvement but hardly important enough to do as a modification.
