| I purchased online a AC tractor stating only that it was an AC. Now I have it and trying to identify what I have I could sure use some help from those in the know. I thought It was a D14 but now after digging into the books I'm not sure. Are there any identifying features in order to separate it as either a D14-D15-or D17 looking at the tractor. The serial number is not visible due to the rough casting on the housing. I have wire brushed it extensively and there is no sign of a number. The tractor belonged to the State Of Missouri and had passed through departments and I purchased it through an auction that the Department of Corrections held. I have had the pan off of it and know the oil pump is behind the flywheel so I think that would eliminate a D-17. It runs so good I hate to take it apart to check the engine bore. Any help would be appreciated. |

| You may want to look at other places for the serial number.......it will not be located on the "rough casting" but instead on a "boss" ground smooth on the casting. |

If it is a D-14, D-15, or D-17 the serial number would be on the Left front side of Torque Housing. Left Side facing front. Remember, the tractors you are talking about had a Power Director lever on the left side of the transmission. Moved from high range to low range with a pull or push of the "Big Stick"
Serial Numbers D-14 1003 - 21800 D-15 1001 - 23753 D-17 4300 - 86061 Picture would be good too. The D 14, 15, and 17 all had the basic hood line Let us know what you find out. Good Luck! Bill Long

I think Bill meant to say the PD lever is on the right side.....at least as you sit on the tractor. The D-17 has 28" wheels.....24" wheels would at least eliminate that model.

To stir up the mud, a little, some industrial models had the big stick on the left side, in which case it can be a shuttle shift, F-R... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

| You're right........there can be a lever on the left but that's not a Power Director/Hi-Lo lever of which Bill was speaking. |
