D17 LP High Crop

Referring to ebay listing 161744946509. Seller indicates this is low production. Does anyone know how many were produced or any literature indicating how many were produced??? Thanks
 
Allis didn't keep the best records of production numbers for highcrops. This might be a legit tractor. Might not be... You can take pretty much any allis tractor and make it a highcrop and/or LP. A diesel highcrop would have more value over all than an LP.
 
Traditional Farmer,

Does yours have the spinout wheels and smaller front axle with 16" front tires?
If it does it is Hi clearance not a high crop.
The LP tractor is Allis built high crop tractor.
They used taller drops that had another gear at the top of the drop.

No way to tell on the production as no separate records were kept.
 
No mine has the high arched cast front axle with 20 or 21 inch wheels and the rear wheels have the longer drop final drives with the larger rear wheels its a real high crop.
 
In my opinion,the tractor on Ebay is a true series 4 Hi Crop. From my research only series 4 true hi crops which this one is has the front end shown along with other features which this one has. Series 1-3 have the arched front end which was built by Thompson machinery. Sure some series 4 could have the arched front axle but it would be a Thompson conversion. Sounds like yours is a row crop with a Thompson conversion regardless of the series. I have a D17 tractor which is 6 S/N's from this one and it is built identical to this one except for the home made hitch. My information came from the dealers son that sold the tractors new in La.
 
Thompson supplied the front axle and cast center front wheels and used a 21" front wheel.
The rear center are cast and the rims have a angle welded to them for mounting to the cast wheel.
If you have rear drop with 2 gears at the top it is for the high crop tractor.

I have different opinion than most as Allis supplied Thomson tractor parts to build high crops and these are as much a Allis.
Just my opinion.
