Looking at a 64 D15 Series 2, nice shape, kept inside, 4200 hours, loader, factory 3 point, all gauges work, rear tires are crackedand not better than 50% left. I already have a D15 S2 but the factory 3 point has me thinking. Can rotate the picture on the computer, and save it but when I upload it puts it back to vertical. Hmmmm.

I think oval muffler and lights on the fenders makes it a Ser. III
Check tractor Serial No. and see if it is above 65001.

There is no Series III D 15. That only applied to the D 17's.

that's a pretty new ride. Too bad it don't need a pair of good spare loader cylinders. I got 2 here looking for a new home before Xmas comes. Actualy whole loader has to 'find a new home'.

Thanks everyone. I paid $3500 Canadian for the one I have in the barn, and a couple hundred more for the snap coupler blade. This one has the loader and 3 point, wondered what that would do to the price. It is a long way away. Have to go that way late November, so if still available may swing by and try to make a deal. May need special permission from "she who must be obeyed" to do any more than drool.

Good running D-15 Ser II around here that doesn't jump out of gear and power director is in good shape bring 4 - 5 thousand all day long. Even more if I start bidding on them. Tires hurt value , but if rims are in good shape they can be upgraded easily enough . I paid 4 g for my D-15 Ser II fct 3 pt without loader and tires were in similar shape . I have been very happy with mine .

Not a penny over $3000. That loader is not worth anything. IF it was a fully hydraulic 400 loader, it would be worth much more. Looks to be a nice tractor. Factory 3 point is nice, but can't do much with it - it's rather flimsy for a 46 hp tractor.

Sorry Dseries but I totally disagree, that’s not a flimsy tractor. 46 hp with loads of torque. Dad’s 1968 D-15 has that exact setup. I will agree the trip loader isn’t the best, but it does lift quite a bit of weight. The loader does have its limitations, but with the loader off the frame makes a great protector of the rest of the front end, surrounded by that tubular steel. As far as he tractor, the factory 3 point does a good job with 3-18 Oliver plow. That little tractor handled 150 acres of corn, hay, barley, wheat, and rye for many years until dad bought a new 6060 in 1981. All crop 66, 10 ft Oliver disk, corn picker, plow, planter, drill, it did it all. One of the best AC tractors built in my opinion. Still running strong today. Looks like a nice origional, $3,500-$4,500 all day long. Loader doesn’t add much value.

The oval muffler is correct and series II was the last they made.

You totally misunderstood. I did NOT say the tractor was flimsy (quite the opposite). Only the factory 3 point hitch assembly is flimsy. If the 3 point was more like those found on Series IV D17s, you could really do some serious work.

I do apologize Dseries4, I read your response again and I now see you was referring to the 3 point. Got defensive too quickly. Would it have been better with the D-17 lift arms? For sure, but for its size the lift arms have always done their job. Wouldn’t a series III D-15 been cool with the heavier lift arms and a second hydraulic port in the rear? No doubt. Again, I’m sorry for stepping on your toes

re: That loader is not worth anything.
yup, I have to agree.. I got two here,can't even GIVE them away so going to China soon at 6 cents a pound, won't buy much $5/gal gas.
I know they SHOULD be going to a good home but I can't keep everything for ever...

One more thing I forgot to mention is that the Power director jumps out of high when pushed hard according to the currrent owner. I think it has to be split to work on it, so that is also a factor in pricing. I am not familiar with the 3 point setup on the D15, have a 170 with which is Cat II and plenty heavy enough for the power of the tractor. As long as 3 point matches the tractor should be OK, I would assume.
I have a L3430 Kubota Cat I 3 point which is much lighter than the D17/170 Cat II but works fine for what I use it for.

hmm... .. the PD on 'Troy' D-14 #1 did the jump out too. I seem to recall moving some washers(spacers) at the bottom of the 'big handle' and it's been fine ever since. I also took off the parts connected to the Snap Coupler area that would automatically move the PD to neutral.
maybe it'll work for you ??

The factory three point on a D15 was one of Allis' weaker designs made. They nice and all but how they attach to the tractor could cause some serious problems. I can get you some pictures of a result of a D15 factory three point failure.
Every D15 I have ever bought came with factory three point on them. Switched out every one to snap coupler.

Well, I have to go close to where the D15 is the weekend of the 25th of November, so will stop and take a look. May be a bit cautious with the 3 point and the Power Director. Will see.
Supply of Snap Coupler implements seems quite limited in our part of the world. Probably all scrapped or sitting in some fence row, out of sight.

Power director will not be a major problem. You only need to remove a washer or 2 from one bolt. Done that with several tractors. Don't rule out the 3 point yet. It depends what you are planning to do with it.

If it has factory 3 point then $3500-$4000. Heck, so riding lawn mowers go for that....

Be careful to be sure and keep those 4 bolts into the bottom of the tractor tight. If the get loos the threads will pull out and the whole 3pt will drop on the ground. Allis really didn't have a usable 3pt until the D17 IV.
------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

Around here a D-15's will bring up to $4500.00 with out implements or 3-point. D-14 will bring around $3500.00 range.

I paid $3500 for a very nice all original 15 Series 2 a few years ago, I would say 3-4 K would be a fair price

The rear tires are loaded. If leaking you will new rims, tubes a,d tires if those ones are shot. They are 26" which are costly. You can put 28" on it and save a little.
It's a loader tractor! You gotta figure it's been beat. I would think the trans will or does have problems. Probably original Rad so that will no doubt need attention.
It probably has P/S which is really nice!. If it runs good, with the money you'll need to put into it I'm thinking 2000 - 2500.
