Are D15 this cheap

I bought a D15 series 2 allis chalmers at the neighbors sale yesterday. It was an estate sale and the man's grandson came in fron out of state and just wanted everything sold and leave. Most everything had been sitting with the weeds growing for 4 years or so. It had two flat fronts and they did not try to start it. I bid on it as it did not even have scrap metal price on it. I have it home now and it is loose and I think with some point work it will fire. It has one good rear and one weak. I saw it was a 13.6x26 which is kinda like my fords which are 13.6x28 on 12. It does not say how wide a rim it is on like the ford. I am wondering is this wider than my ford 12 inch rim. The tire looks wider. I knew the old man and seen him brushhog with tractor and would like to fix it up some just because he was a pretty good fellow.

AC's are not real good sellers in some areas except to collectors. My area for example, the AGCO dealership changed hands, went from being very good to poor at best. AC tractors here don't bring much and even the newer ones, the 100 and thousand series are going for cheap.

I watched a D17, near new rears and good fronts, good metal and an all hydraulic loader bring 1700 at auction 2 years ago. A comparable JD or IH would have been t least double.

Near me, common tractors (not real collectible) in non-running
condition with poor or questionable tires are about scrap price.
Location makes a lot of difference on price and what is "common" though.
Farmall H, Ford N's for example pretty common here. (everywhere?)
As long as you're happy with it and can get part support, it can be fixed.
They are great old tractors. I'd like to find a D series for myself!
 
D15 series II should have come from the factory with 14.9x26 tire, on a 13" rim. I'm not sure you can even get that rim any more. I think a 12" rim is available, for the 13.6 tire. The 14.9 could be put on the 12" rim if necessary. (I have a "new" tractor- NH TT60A, with 14.9x28 tires on 12" rims)
My D15 II has become my favorite antique tractor. Power steering!, and 8 speeds
 
I think these must be the 13 inch width. This has the power steering and 8 speeds foreward. An extra tire on adjustable rim also came with the tractor but it was in poor rubber also. It was also 13.6x26 rim. The back wheels must have been changed at some point. I am going to get it running and see from there. I am not in a big hurry and will see if I can find a used tire on craigslist or locally. The bad rear will work till I find something else. I will post back about my progress.
 
So what did you pay for it? I read your post but didn't see anything
in reference to the title of your post.

Here in Western, Pa, there are pockets of AC lovers. An AC D15 in good running condition will bring approx. $2500. I have one and it has plenty of power and it is user friendly compared to an old IH 300 or 400 tractor.
 
You will like that little tractor as they are very snappy and good on gas.Dad always had one around to rake hay and pull wagons.Many have some rear end whine and the live pto is on the hand clutch and takes a little getting use to.I picked acers of corn with a D15 and two row mounted NI picker.
 
(quoted from post at 06:18:25 07/22/14) I got it for $400.00 at the auction.

$400 is a very good price, provided you can get it up and running GOOD, with no issues. At that price, you could put 2 brand new tires on the rear and still not be upside down on the investment.
 
Your not going to loose any money, running or not. D15s are great tractors. I have 2 of them, wouldn't trade them for nothing.
 
I'd look for some old combine tires (Gleaner E?)to put on it. While old most combines have spent a majority of the life inside and the tires are better for it (and have nowhere near the wear a tractor of equal age would have).
