I usually post on the Farmall Board, as I am and International Guy. However, I've been looking for an inexpensive loader tractor and found this Allis D17. I can buy the tractor for $5800 with two new Good Year tires on the back. The tractor is a 1962 model (gasoline) which I think makes is a series II. The loader is an AC model 400. It runs perfect and everythink works, good oil pressure and there does not seem to be any leaks. It has power steering. The loader has a separate hydaulic pump on the front of the engine and there is a set of remotes on the back that seem to be connected to the loader hydraulics. There is another remote that seems to be connected to the tractor system that runs the rear lift. I think this would be a high pressure AC connection. All the fluids look good and everything is full. Looks like tractor fluid everywhere. The tach shows about 2000 hrs, but it is not working. The only thing I see wrong is that the power director seems to need adjustment as I believe the tractor is supposed to stop when in the middle position. You can stop it, but you have to hold the brakes and it sounds like there is a load on the engine when you do that, so something must be dragging. Works good in both high and low range.
So.... is the $5800 a good price??
