Hello,
Can ANYONE tell me if a D 17 series 4 in excellent condition, was a diesel, but they now put a D 19 GAS engine in it (72hp is what they say it is now) would this tractor be worth more with this engine or less? Will the rest of the tractor hold up to the extra horsepower?

Second: Is a D 17 GAS worth more, and more desirable, than a D 17 DIESEL? Which would be the better buy and the better tractor?

Third: Would a D 19 DIESEL be a better and more desireable tractor than a AC 170 GAS?

Fourth (and LAST): What is a good average price to pay for a:
D 17 DIESEL Series 4 in excellent shape- ?

D 19 DIESEL in excellent shape - ?

AC 170 GAS with 2500 hrs in REAL good shape-?

D 17 Series 4 with D 19 GAS engine (what would it be worth in EXCELLENT shape-?

ALL HAVE FACTORY 3pt HITCHES! ALL HAVE minimal hours (4000 hrs at MOST), ALL in GREAT shape!

I can't tell you how much I would appreciate ANY info that I could get in regards to these questions, I would be ETERNALLY greatful!!!
 
Once you get above about 50 HP, gas versions just are too thristy, so diesel is worth more. D19 is kind of the red-headed step child of the D series, so of the bunch, I'd prefer the D17 Series 4 diesel.

Go into external_link and look thru all the differnt price ranges. Really depends on the area you are in. Series 4 D17's are probably worth more to collectors that users. I have used all you have listed and all are great machines. The 170 I would prefer over the D17. Nothing wrong with the D19 motor in the D17 except fuel comsumption. D19 gas working pretty hard uses about 6 to 7 gallons an hour compared to the diesel using 3 1/2 to 4.
 
I want to thank you ALL for giving me your input, time, and kindness, I REALLY appreciate it VERY much! I am new to the AC crowd but have heard MANY good things about them and I'm looking forward to being part of the AC community. I am also VERY impressed by the kind of people in this forum, VERY helpful, knowledgeable, and KIND, your a GREAT bunch of people, I am VERY greatful! Happy SAFE Holidays to one and all! God Bless! and Thanks again!!!
Sincerely,

A 170 and a series 4 D17 are almost the same tractor with different tin. The diesel version would be different, 4 cyl Perkins VS A-C 6 cyl. An excellent D19D will usually bring $5K to $6K around central Ia. About the same for a D17D series 4.
A D17 diesel will always bring more than it's gasoline counterpart. With the number of gas vs diesel, it must be about 8 in 10 were gas.
My opinion is a D17D converted to gas would be worth less than if it were still diesel.
The series 4 and 170 have a hydraulic system that is industry standard in pressure and volume. A D19 has the old high pressure low volume system like a WD has.
Unless the D17 with a D19 gas in it is weighted down so the extra power can be used to plow, etc, I doubt there would be any difference in power train life.
 
Thank you SO much for all that info, I am trying to decide on which way to go, and this info is VERY helpful. I was getting the impression from a lot of people that the GAS was more desireable, which I thought was a bit strange. Thanks SO much for your info and kindness. Have a GREAT Holiday Season and MANY thanks!
