Hi everyone Will plows and disk from WD45 fit D17. Going to take our 17 up the road and grab set of plows and disk to bring home. Just making sure the hitch beam is the same length. And no surprises. Thanks

The lift links on some SC implements need to be longer for the larger D series tractors (d14 & up), otherwise they bind up on the bottom of the tractor and pull on the Traction-Booster spring to lift the implement harder. Just be careful how high you lift it the first time. ------------- 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 |

| Dad had a 70 series 3 x 16's on our WD45 and that the same plow was used on the D-17 IV. I think the CA hitch and probably D10/D12's were a little different. I have a 70 series 4 bottom that came from a D-19 family and it works just fine on my D-17 S3 XT. |

I don't know the answer from a design perspective. But from a practical point of view, I have used these old plows that were originally for a WD45 on my D17 (early 1958).   They seemed happy behind he 17 also:  Regards, Chris ------------- D17 1958 (NFE), WD45 1954 (NFE), WD 1952 (NFE), WD 1950 (WFE), Allis F-40 forklift, Allis CA, Allis D14, Ford Jubilee, Many IH Cub Cadets, 32 Ford Dump, 65 Comet. |
