Hey guys, just ran across a 170 gas with a factory shuttle shift transmission that I have the oppurtunity to buy. Has a factor allis loader on it as well. Sheetmetal isnt horrible and rear tires are probably 50%. Needs a new front main but seems to run well. Any idea what this thing is worth? I've never seen one with a forward/reverse shuttle shift like this before. Shifter is a tall lever on the left side. Thanks! ------------- Making a living farming with and working on Allis Equipment |

Not sure what its worth, but if you dont buy it let me know, I may be interested. ------------- Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. |

| What you found is an Industrial D-17 most likely. Does it have a solid front axle also? |

| They actually did make a few 170 shuttle-shift tractors....the ones I've seen always had a 540/1000 PTO on them. |

| We have a 170 and a 175 Shuttle shift. Like Dr Allis said they have the 540/1000 pto on them. The 170 is also factory delete 3 point. very fun to drive and make good loader tractors |

| I should lay off the cold medicine. I totally ignored the 170 in the post above. Was the shuttle an option for 170 tractors? |

Dairyfarmer (Bernie) has at least two?...don't remember...here's a few pics I have:  I believe this one above might be the one Bernie later restored/repainted? Here's a pic of it apart later showing the 540/1000 PTO Dr. Allis mentions:  Here's another with a loader:  Mike ------------- 1981 Gleaner F2 Corn Plus w 13' flex 1968 Gleaner EIII w 10' & 330 1969 180 gas 1965 D17 S-IV gas 1963 D17 S-III gas 1956 WD45 gas NF PS 1956 All-Crop 66 Big Bin 303 wire baler, 716H, 712H mowers |

Jason - I just dug around and found those pictures and uploaded a few to Photobucket...this was the state it was in back at Aug 2009. I haven't visited Bernie in person since to see the end result.

Well hopefully he did it sure looks like a good start. You hear of more 170 shuttles than 175. They are always gas units too, i don't think they built a diesel one |

| I think Bernie (dairyfarmer) used one of these tractors to help me load a small gleaner 10' grain platform onto my trailer when I purchased his neighbor's gleaner E combine? It was a handy setup with that AC loader.. I would like to see pics of it when its finished. |

| I had a customer years ago with a D17 IV with the shuttle, the lever was on the same side as the a power director tractor. I remember it well cause it kept blowing the pd filter, I had to go in thru the PD cover and clean the PD pump releif valve. Thats the only one Ive seen. |

It is a 170 gas. Havent looked at the pto yet to see if its 540/1000. Has a 3 point on it I know also. Any ideas on the worth of it though guys? I'd like to have it as it looks like a handy little loader tractor to have around the farm here. ------------- Making a living farming with and working on Allis Equipment |

| They are kind of a rare bird, I've only ever seen one of them myself. I would say that price wise, It would definitely fetch a premium over a regular 170, but I'm not sure exactly how much, maybe $1000 to $1500 over. Darrel |

We have one with a diesel, but we installed a 248 Perkins alot more user friendly. The reverse is faster than forward very handy. ------------- 210,220,7010 AC,7020 AC,7040 AC,7045 Pedal Tractor, 8050& 8070 and Parts and Pieces of Many More!!! |

Nice pics. If you can buy a shuttle shift I would strongly recommend buying it.Not many of them around, I always thought a shuttle shift would make a great tractor for running a bush hog or pushing snow.Believe you only get 4 forward speeds but you get 4 reverse speeds also.
Have not seen Dairyfarmer post lately.How long has it been since anyone has heard from him? ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |
