I bought a 1960 D17 this weekend with a fully hydrolic front end loder for $3500. It is a diesel and runs good..... was that a good deal?....second question is it has the aux hyd pump on the front for the loader. can that be modified for additional hyd for emplements? Third..... it smokes on the left side out the breather cap. is that bad?..... fourth....what type of hydolic fluid do you use in it for the loader as it appears it uses the center or transmision area for the sump the fill is on the left side..... .I will probably have many more questions if your patient with me please as this is my first tractor I have owned myself and want to restore it.....oh one more.....how do i check the alternator as it appears to be bad.....I put my leads on the tow posts on it and had zero volts..... Thanks again..... ..Wayne

The resivor it is using is the middle pan that fills from the left side of the tractor and not the loader arms. The return line goes there and the other line comes out the bottom..... And the altinator appears to have something attached to the back of it (power steering pump?).....

Wayne,
The time to ask if something is a good deal or not is before you bought it...haha. $3500 isn't ridiculous for a loader tractor combo if it's useable for what you need. If it has a front aux hyd pump...check, because there is most likely a resoirvoir built into your loader somewhere so the system is independent of your tractor. As for smoking...sounds like blowby...typical on 47 year old tractors...more typical on allis diesels...many feel they weren't the best motors...As for the alternator...don't waste time trying to figure it out...take loose the 2-3 bolts holding it on and take it to a local parts house and let them test it...then you know...while you are there get some 303 tractor fluid which will work in most loaders...good luck!
