  Finally got my 82S on my D17. Oh how nice it is to have power steering unlike my WD.

Thanks Mike, have a long ways to go but hopefully the end result will be nice. Need to get a good muffler for it. That shorty puts diesel smoke right in my face while driving lol. I have a sticker on my truck that says” I love the smell of diesel smoke first thing in the morning”. But I don’t like to choke on it. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

I wouldn't mind having a set up like that. Is that a seven, or nine foot bar? Looks good 👍 Darrel |

Robbie, i dont know why, but sometimes the pictures seem to rotate 90 degrees when you install them... I keep the photos on my computer desk top... I just open them in PAINT and then ROTATE and SAVE as a different NAME... Then download again.. I have had that happen several times. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

You are going to love your mower. The Hi-Lo range and power steering on a D-17 makes it ideal for cutting square corners without stopping which most mid-mount mowers can't easily do.Back in the early 70s my neighbor used to let me borrow his D-17 and 82S in the fall to "clean up" around my place. It wasn't until many years later I was able to get myself an 82S but I had to mount it on a WD-45 as I hadn't yet gotten a D-17. I picked up a D-17 a few years ago still haven't transferred the mower over but it s on my "to do" list. Since I use my mower mainly for 'trimming" and mow around alot of scrub apple trees and such, I cut the bar down to 5-1/2' and tweeked the linkage so the mower lifts to full upright position with the hydraulics.

Fired up the D-14 with power steering and the 82S mower for two miles of rod ditch bank mowing. Great improvement over the WD-45 with the 80R mower. Added a second hydraulic cylinder to lift the cutter bar fully vertical ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

The side mount 82S saves my neck. I had neck surgery 6 years ago and I do not have full movement anymore. So seeing the mower with only a slight turn of my neck is the main reason I wanted it. After using it on my WD it surpassed my expectations. Just needed power steering with 650 lbs hanging off the side. Now I have PS and high and low which makes it a perfect combination. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Can't say for a fact, but I don't think so. And I would think that would be too much weight to add to middle of a D-10. I just want to trim around the edge of our pond a couple times a year. A 3 point would be easier to mount. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

That's the one I'm looking for. But well worn, don't need to be in excellent shape, just want to do a little trimming around our pond. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

Ours has extra pads welded to the skid plate as it wore thru. I had to replace all the sickle hold downs and wear plate as well as the guards. $200+ just for that. I need to replace the sickle drive hickey puck thing with the groves in it as it's worn also.

Spent part of the day spreading her legs....ya know losing the locks and spinning the wheels out to give her a better stance and stability. With 650 lbs hanging off the side, the wider the better. Also spent 4 hrs drilling and removing broken bolts holding the side panels on. Ahhhh, never a fun job. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Mowed some more today. The diesel runs well with no leaks. Even the injection pump isn’t leaking at the banjos anymore. Previous owner only used it on his generator and would start it to keep the battery charged up. Since I’ve put a few hours on it even the power steering is working smoother. Someone put ATF in it instead of oil. Not sure if I should go back to oil or leave it? ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Pretty sure my D-17 had ATF in the power steering. I think that is the correct fluid for them. |

I wish I could an almost wore out 3-point one, to go on my D-10 series III, to mow around our 3/4 acre pond a couple times a year. Almost wore-out = cheap, yet service-able. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

I’m willing to try that Dr Allis, steering is still a little stiff but has improved. I’ve changed the other fluids so I plan to change it also. Service manual mentions SAE30 but I can see why you mention the 821XL since it is a hydraulic pump. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Fitting it to a D-10 or D-12 requires that an extra piece be installed to take the place of a frame rail. If I had one on a D-10 or D-12, I think I would be putting a counter weight on the LH side for more stability. As a matter of fact I have even thought of doing this to my WD-45 because I mow some pretty steep side hills.  |

Thanks 720MAN & Bryan, but all I want a mower for is to do a little trimming around our pond. If I was going to mow a bunch of hay I would consider something like that. My D-10 is a series III and has a 3-point hitch on it so a well used, cheeper, sickle bar is all that I'm looking for. I would think that there would be several out there.
