We have a D17 IV sitting on our ranch that is missing all 4 loader hydraulic cylinders, missing her original front wheels, and who knows what else. She's in pretty sad condition actually. Is it worth refitting her, overhauling the engine and whatever else needs doing? How difficult is it to get parts for this age of tractor? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Unless a D17IV has been through a fire it is nearly always worth bringing back to life. New and serviceable used parts are still available. Front wheels are easy to come by. How do you know the engine needs overhauled? Even engines that have been stuck have been freed up and were good to use. The biggest headache could be if the transmission jumps out of third gear. Then you have to split the tractor and replace gears. I don't know how costly or available loader cylinders would be. In my area a D17IV will bring $2500 to $5000 without the loader.

Thanks for the info. We spoke with the previous owner and he said that when he fired her up, there was a knocking sound in the engine. He shut her down then and there she's sat. So we're only going by what we were told. We priced a new set of hydraulics for the loader. An AC dealer quoted us $3600cdn new for all 4. Do you have any idea how much weight the front end would hold? and how much a loader like that can lift?

I don't know what kind of Loader it is, but I just bought a D17 and a Dual Loader, and the guy who had it told me he used it to lift round bales, weighing in at around 1300lbs, so these were not the big round bales.

Again, I am only going by what the previous owner told me,as I have not lifted anything near that heavy with it. I would definitely start out by taking it easy, lifting a little bit more weight each time--it kind of depends on what kind of loader it is and what shape the hydraulics are in.
Hope this helps.
