Subject: D10 question PICTURE ADDED
Date Posted: 07 Sep 2011 at 6:35pm
I spotted a nice little D10 coming up on the auction block this month. It has a full set of cultivators front/rear and is very straight, no dents some slight rust here and there on a few pieces of tin, Excellent rear rubber!!!!! I started her up and went for a quick spin around the auction yard in all gears and it runs out just fine.
Now the question. I really haven't kept up on the average/fair price for these little rascals. If a few of you could chime in and just give me a ball park figure so I have somewhat of an idea I would very much appreciate it. I don't really need another cultivating tractor BUT it's orange............ and well you know how it is! Dennis.

It won't be cheap but how expensive will depend on what series it is.
Series III is the one to get !!! Do you have the serial number?

Calvin it is absolutely a series III........ I don't have the serial number but it would be very easy to get it. Tomorrow I'll stop back at the yard and get it and post it here. Dennis.

A friend just bought a beautiful originial D-10 Series III with 3 pt and range transmission for $6000. I was next in line and would have paid that in a heartbeat if he didn't buy it. Excellent originals are where its at. You can only be original once and you can restore any piece of junk.

I take that back it's NOT a series III I was thinking about another I seen today. The above is the one at the auction with the cultivators. I seen another at a private residence without cultivators, and that one is a series III. sorry for the mix up.

A D10 series III with range tranny and front rockshaft with cultivators brought 6475.00 on eBay a couple of weeks ago. HTH Tracy Martin

IMHO I think they go for way more than there worth, and that one looks GREAT so my guess is it will go for at LEAST 3500.

Maybe I better take a look at the series III I seen at the farm. It's sitting out in front along the road with a for sale sign on it you never know.
I'm lucky to have some BIG auction yards both within 10 and 20 miles of me and it's rare to see a D10 or 12 period (and I check them both often) but to see two D10's for sale (one at the yard and one at a farm in the same day is really rare!!! Dennis.

That is a late 1960 or early 1961 D-10 but still a series 1. Does it have the live hydraulics with the little tank by the distributer?

I took her for a little spin and put it back where you see it. There were Semi trucks all over that place unloading and I was running late picking the boys up from school so I had to skip out of there pretty quick but I'm going to look at it again tomorrow as well as the Series III at the farm just for the heck of it. Both will probably be out of my $$$ range (I just bought a new pick up) she will be all over me like cuban's on florida if I leave with the trailer behind me LOL!
But what the heck you just never know I've been surprised more than once when they darn near gave something away at that auction but, that's usually at the December or Janurary auction with -5 below temps when you get the real deals. Dennis.

I may be banned from the site for this, but I had a series 1 D10, and, well, I wasn't impressed. The farmall 130 I grew up on was a much better cultivating tractor. The lack of live hydraulics kills them for me.

That looks like a early model (Series I) with snap coupler. If it has a hydraulic pump like the ones on a CA then it has neither live PTO or live hydraulics. If it has a hydraulic pump mounted on the engine (more common with 3 pt. or high clearance models) then it would at least have live hydraulics. Before AC went to a quill shaft to provide true independent PTO and hydraulics in mid-1961, these early D-10/12 aren't as useful as a CA - at least the CA had the hand clutch.
If it is an early model with the CA style hydraulic pump the value should be more like $2500.

Heck take a little ride up here and check out these BIG auctions. If I don't pick something up I'd rather see somebody from this forum get it. We'll stop back at the farm and have a beer maybe two then I'll trade you even the D10 for the beers LOL! Dennis.

Dennis, I'd like to know the serial number of the D-10. I'm trying to figure out at what serial # A-C changed to PO 2 and cream grill on the series 1 D-10/12. The printed info on serial # breaks in the early 60's is a little vauge.

It looks like one of the plainer ones with the stamped steel IH wheels. I say that because Farmalls had them first.

If somebody sees this within the next few minutes can you please tell me where to find the serial number on the D10 so I can tell Calvin.
I have to run out and get gas in the truck and stop at the bank before they close and I can check the serial # as the yard is just outside of town. Then I'll post it when I get back. Dennis.

according to my book by terry dean the serial number is left, front side of torque housing.

This is a D12 III, Serial number 9767. The number on the engine flange is the engine serial number. This is on the left side as sitting on the seat ready to operate the tractor. Numbers are on the 45 deg or whatever degree slope.

Well I just got back home and I took another quick look. The only numbers I could find Were on either side of the trans directly below the seat. On the right side (as you are sitting on the tractor is 208104 and on the left side in about the same place is 223945. The only other numbers I could find all started with AM- which I'm assuming were factory parts numbers. It's raining pretty good out here so I wasn't going to spend too much time crawling around a tractor. If neither of thease seem right I'll take another look when I get into town again and it's not raining.
It's nice to see rain finally though!!!!!!

No need to crawl around the tractor. The number you want is on the front flange of the torque tube on the left side of the tractor, just as Joe's picture shows. If you stand facing the left side of the tractor and look down at the torque tube flange, you can see the stampings. AM numbers are casting numbers for Allis Milwaukee.

The 1808 serial number tells me that the tractor has been repainted. 1808 should be PO #1 with a silver and black grill and orange wheel centers. Tracy Martin, check out the grill guard for early D-10/12 . Dennis did you buy it yet or did you buy the Series III?
