Bought my first tractors of the year today, one 30 miles NW of me and the other 60 miles NE. Couldn't pass them up for the price.....

I'm not up on Allis, more Ford than anything

The bottom looks a lot like the D15 sitting out in my barn for a retirement project
What are they?

Top is a WD with early single front wheel...fairly rare. Bottom is a D17 diesel.
 
Nice pair of little tractors . Hard to believe now that a farmer could make his living farming with those
little guys. Beat the heck out of a team and a walking plough though. Just think of all the equipment you
could run with those two tractors when they where new. Plough , work the dirt , plant , cut hay , rake
and bale, pull your Allcrop Combind , spread manure, the list goes on . What can you do with them on a
farm today ? Not very much.
 
I knew you would get that 3 wheeler! I've been watching it for a week or two... Good buy, I figured it must be rare. Never seen one.

I have another just like it, but offered her what the rear tires were worth and she took it...so if I have to part it, it will still be a good deal.
 
That WD has straight tin on its for it age and a mag. Before dad took the mag off his WD if started to kill it would hear the mag click and hit the clutch. Would not do any good at my age. Would not be fast enough to save it.
 
You could still do all those things, and likely make a living, if you lived the way they did back then.
 
That's a nice-looking D17!! Have always been a bit partial to the D15's to D19's. Just something about 'em.

I think it's in an upcoming Mecum auction that I saw a D22. Didn't even know they made a D22!

D21 was the big horse, either they made a typo or someone repowered one and wanted it to be "special".

Here's a pic of mine...

Actually the people I know farming that are actually farming without the help of Gov't Farm Welfare are using the older under 100 HP tractors.I have beef cattle and meat goats make hay for them
and other related things my biggest tractor is 70 HP.The so called Big Operators I know of apply for every gov't subsidy,Gov't crop insurance, etc they can find, they're the ones with the new high HP
tractors.So which is really "Making a living Farming"?
 
(quoted from post at 04:50:58 11/08/17) how many Ac,s does that make now? lol

Well since I sold two this year, it takes me back to the number I had at the beginning of the year :D I'll have to count them again tho, as it has been awhile...
 
(quoted from post at 04:46:18 11/08/17) Good shopping. Never saw a three wheel WD.

The single fronts are more popular around vegetable growing areas...I like them, never grew up around them, so they are a novelty to me. I now have 2 C's, a CA, WC, two WD's a WD45 diesel and a D17 gas with single fronts. I'm thinking of getting a few red and green ones, too.
 
(quoted from post at 08:40:11 11/08/17) Always wanted a D-17. How much were they asking?

$1500, I bought a mate to it 13 years ago on Ebay for $1700 with brand new Firestones and an F10 Farmhand....had to drive 1000 miles to get it, tho :(

Our neighbor farmed with a D-17 gas and a WD-45 and a Ford utility tractor (probably a 6xx or 8xx, never knew what it was). He had crops and had a few cows and fed some steers. He also drove school bus. Raised two kids and kept a wife. It was possible back in the 60s and 70s. The family cashed in when they sold the farm to a big time developer, he has "cashed it in" long before that happened.
