Mine is missing it, would someone take a picture and provide some measurements of the cover that goes over the generator on series 1 diesel. Thanks in advance Rob ------------- 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 |

BTT, instead of me guessing a few measurements is all I’m asking for. Or a NOS would be even better. I’m trying to put this 3 bar back as original as possible. Just trying to fill in the blanks. Or a good used part will be fine.

| What is the purpose of the Genny cover? I ran my series 4 diesel for 25 years without 1. I never knew they existed until I read this post. |

It's for the earlier models with the oil bath air cleaner directly above the generator. Presumably it's to keep any spilled oil off of the genny. Not for late models with the dry air cleaner. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

They were on the series 1, when changing the oil bath filter it prevents oil from running down on the generator, belts if someone didn’t take their time and slop oil out of the pan. ------------- 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 made a card board version and dropped it off to the machine shop. Just going by the partial picture from my manual. It won’t be original but it will be close enough. ------------- 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 |

| Did anyone find an original one of these, or be willing to take pics and measurements of one? I could use one too, mine's gone. |

Apparently most were tossed aside but it’s actually a functional part that protects the generator. I didn’t get any response, I hope you do. If not, I will post what I am having made when it’s completed. ------------- 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 |

| Sounds good, Robbie, thanks! Maybe one will turn up on a tractor at a show, and perhaps the owner would be kind enough to let one of us get some measurements. I believe mine is a '60 model, if I remember correctly. Would you know if the wide fronts are different across the series of D17's, and between gas and diesel? My wide front has been a little modified. |

| The guy you got your shroud from didn't have the gen cover? |

He had already parted out the rest of the tractor and the shroud and grill was all he had left. I’m not sure about the WF, but as far as the power steering ,changes occurred several times over the series. ------------- 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 |

It will have to be a diesel to have one.

I picked up my fabricated generator cover up today and I’m pleased with it. They made it per my guessing measurements and the picture from my manual. I just need to drill some mounting holes. ------------- 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 have an original used cover; it came off a 45D but I think they are all the same. $25.00 plus small flat rate box. ------------- The 14th Annual Exclusive AC Swap Meet will be held in Boonville, MO, March 7-8, 2025. See the club website for details: http://www.moacclub.com/ |
