I really want a 17 (gas or diesel, any series, but a 4 would be nice), but the guys at the shop say that a 15 will do the same work. So I'm not opposed to a 14 or 15.

I finally found a 15 local, but the owner is LOCO. It's a diesel (yeah, they're rare)with battery box on the axle, fair/poor condition original paint, ps pump on the generator (bad), 25% rubber, and front wheel weights. Guages look okay but fuel gauge is full of water. Snapper only-- Asking $4600--yikes I'll go buy a Chat's tractor with that kind of dough.

So, 17 or 15- which one would you prefer to start your collection with? I already let the WD45 slip away (The definitive snappy governor!) From now on the ORANGE stops HERE.

I plan to collect at least a 15, 17, and 19. Maybe a 10/12 for grins and a 21 for pulls and general head turning.

And if you see a 15 or 17 for sale within 150 miles of Middle TN let me know. Thanks

Wade; The tractors you mentioned are all first rate machines, in good working order of course. If you plan to buy all you mention it really won't matter what you get first. I own 18 Allis's currently from A to U, and yeah 10's, a 12, 15, two 17's and 21's. It's been a hoot fixing 'em up and working them. You'll have a ball too. Lot's of luck. If I hear of a 21 series 2,3,or4 I'll send you a e-mail. J.L.

Start with whatever you find first. If you're really going to get them all anyway, what difference does it make? D17's are a lot more common around here than any of the others you mention. Everybody wants a 10 or 12 and a 21. I had a 19 and it was the worst one compared to the rest. Cripes, if you can, get the 21 first and turn heads right away!
