 Topic: made a run on the honey hole today
Posted: 13 Mar 2012 at 7:46pm |
Here's the D17, subsoiler and two boxes of parts. This is just a little load of the goods in there. lol
Put some new gas and set the points and she runs like a top again.
Then I found why the old guy parked the D17; the front axle pin is gone. So now I have two D17's in need of the pin being replaced.

Used to be you could buy a new pin and weld it onto your axle tube and you could buy the bushing for the front support too. Just cut the old on off with the blue wrench and weld a new one on. HTH

Skip - we plan to have Tracy make us new custom ones that are longer and we'll put longer bushings in the front casting too.
Don - I see you got a set of milo fingers for an All-Crop. I got a set in the shed too! Mike

The custom pin will fix the weak point on the D14/15/17 front end. If AC had put the 1/2" more on the pin when it was new the pins might have lasted the life of the tractor!
I'm thinking the sun shade will be coming off.

My dad put a threefourth inch plate behind the wish bone on D/14 and push pin forward when he first noticed it was starting to wear.
