Nice D17 pic, Mike! Here’s another for D17 day. A tractor I’ve made a deal on but haven’t rescued yet. Series IV with Full Vision cab, probably been sitting 10-plus years. Will have to do some clearing of trees and brush to remove from the property. It looks to me like original paint, but not sure til I retrieve it and look it over closer. The sheet metal is super straight on this one!

I hadn’t either until this one. Doesn’t look very roomy inside, but something different anyway. It’s a shame that they removed the factory fenders, but the lights, and grab handle were relocated to the cab, so at least they still exist 👍
And, by God, it actually still has both side panels under the gas tank!

Thanks for pointing out D17 day Mike. Today is my grandpa's birthday and his favorite chore tractor was his D17 Serries IV. He put many miles on it hauling water year-round for all the livestock. In the winter we'd put the winter front on with a Kent feed sack covering the grill. Thanks for trigging a memory. Andy

Thanks but I’m not taking credit. Dseries4 gave me the idea when he posted d14 day. Thought it was a neat idea. The picture is maybe three years old. Did you want more pictures of tractors or building.

Here's mine. 1958 LP with 400 series loader. Neighbor was going to scrap it!! All it needed was a tire and fill the propane tank. I brought it home 12 years ago.

D series days are happening on Facebook now, so those who are not on there should not feel left out.
So, here is a late addition to D17 day - 67 Series IV gas, 67 Series IV diesel, and a bonus D14 in the middle!

I find it both fun and depressing to think about the relative age of tractors and how perspectives change: When you bought that second D17 in 2000, it was about as new a tractor then as a Deere 6400, Case 7000-series, or Kubota 5030 would be today. I still consider those models 'new' in my head. But back in 2000 I would have still considered a D17 an 'old' (but still very good) model.
