Been needing to fix the left brakes,put new feets on the front and wash it for a while and since I’m waiting on my painter to finish up the D14 sheet metal(another story for later) I figured I’d get this done today.Dad was in the woods on the backhoe after an earlier mishap (still another story) so I took the 170 on a road trip and burnt some gas on a rather warm day down here Carolina.

That is a nice look'in 170! I bought one a few months ago that needs restoration, but I don't have the time right now. Your machine is a true inspiration!

Thanks y’all,I appreciate it!! This one is probably my most comfortable riding tractors for sure which will most likely be my parade tractor this year and the one I’ll take to the Benson NC show also.

Beautiful AC One-Seventy! Thanks for sharing. I own a 1967 model. What year is yours? Is that a D-19 in the background under the roof?
