I just purchased a D-17 Serial #12610. After reviewing the serial number chart it looks like a 1958? I was told it was a 1957?

Is this a series I? What is the difference between each series? Is this information available on the web?

Thanks!

Well I believe Series #1 was that the front grille was a standard mesh with orange color, and the "D-17" decal was an oval I think. Also the front rims were orange, and back centers were orange, and the spin-out rim was silver. Series #2 had a black and silver grille with black bars running horizontal across the mesh. "D-17" decal was a rectangle. Rim colors I think were the same color yet. Also the mufflers on the Diesel engine were round, Series 3&4 were oval. Headlights were on the front by the radiator. Series 3&4 were on the fenders. Series #3 had a regular screen grille like the series 1 but was painted white. Rims were painted white too. Series #4 was the most modern tractor out of the whole D-17 series in my view. It had a live hydraulic gear pump, standard 3-point, with 2 remote outlets for hydraulics. Front grille was white I believe, and the rims as well. Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong with something about the D-17 Series.

Actually, snap coupler was still standard on the Series IV D17's. Factory three point was available, but only on the Series IV tractors as you said. THere were many mechanical changes and improvements in the different Series as well. For example, the full flow engine oil system, the addition of a hydraulic system filter, the combining of the hydraulic system reservoir and the power director, changing from a gear driven power steering pump to belt driven (don't know if that was better, but I'm sure less expensive), quieter oval muffler, dry air filter....I could think of a lot more if I took the time.

Hello, Also the series IV as compared to the Series I had better brakes (disc instead of pads). They had external hitch arm cylinders as compared to internal cylinder and the hitch lever was on the side of the operator as compared to on the steering column (? if my memory serve me correctly, I might be thinking of another D-series tractor) The hydraulics on the series IV snap coupler tractor here is awsome. I like the 17's !!

Series III also had the better brakes- disc and drum, instead of drum only. Biggest pain in renewing them is the need to pull the axle housings to get at everything. Series IV had a standard Snap-Coupler hitch, with the 3ph as an option. And the hydraulic system was independent, with the pump mounted in the same area as previous models had the belt pulley, but internally, the drive was different, and gave independent instead of just live hydraulic power.

Thanks for all of the great info. I am having a great time with my D-17. I am spending hours looking thru the old messages. My tractor has the oval D-17 markings.

Thanks again!!

Thanks Kendall!

Where is a good place to buy paint?
Is the series "I" persian orange no 2? What is the name/number of the silver spin-out rims?

Thanks!
