Brooks Baker wrote on Monday, July 15, 2013 (PDT):

HELP! After having the 160 for over 40 years, the conical rubber washer at the base of the cartridge oil filter finally failed. I cannot find anything to replace it and no spin on conversions seem to work. I know this has happened to someone else, so what is the solution Thank you!

John Hancock wrote on Sunday, April 28, 2013 (PDT):

I posted earlier comment about hydraulic problem.The intake filter is on the right side of transmission. Sorry for confusion. It has been 30 years since we had tractor. Hope this helps.

John Hancock wrote on Sunday, April 28, 2013 (PDT):

I noticed several comments about hydraulics not working.There is an intake oil screen that plugs easily on tractor we used to have. It is located on top of transmission on left side and has a cap with 4 nuts holding it. The screen is a long plastic tube with fine mesh.Pull it out. Soak in gas and blow out gently.Reinstall and see if that helps. I had to do that on a regular basis.

we have 3 D17 s 2 series IV with live low pressure high volume hydraulics we have owned the Series III since new and it has around over 7000 hours on it and one of the Series IV s has 9,700 hours on it and is used every year to run augers and other odd jobs and we recently purchased another series IV but the Tac was stuck so the hours are unknown... needless to say the engines last a very long time. If it has been stuck for 7 years its anybody s guess but with proper care it would be a very good tractor

Brian Watson wrote on Saturday, December 12, 2009 (PST):

The only D18 s built were experimental prototypes. The D18 tractor had the drivetrain of what became the D19 tractor with the sheetmetal of the D17. Just didn t look right. They raised the hood line to make it a bigger tractor and somewhere along the way the model changed to D19.

I truly enjoy reading through all of the comments, stories, and questions of all the A-C devoted owners. I too grew up on a farm within a family and extended family that had a fair share of various Orange Tractors. It is difficult to say which were my favorites. On our farm we had a really great D19. While the companion D17 is a great tractor in its own right and I loved the handling and manuverability of the D17, the extra power provided by the larger D19 really came in handy on our farm. I learned to drive tractors on the WC models one of which is 1941 model still owned by my brother. It is essentially as good as the day it was new.

D17 hydraulics problems. This was my fathers tractor, he died 11 years ago of cancer. I finally got it back in the family, but it has problems, it sat for 5 years under a lean-two. Hydraulics are not lifting, please help. Checked hydraulic hose in pumpkin and o-rings in cylinder.Everything looks good. Why wouldn't any oil come out the back of the hydraulic line, going back to the rear hydraulic lift system? Screwed transport valve in, no lift. Screwed out, no lift. Loosened line on pressure side of transport valve, started engine no fluid came out the pressure side of line. Pulled relief valve apart and everything looks good. Left relief apart, started engine and no oil came out at all. Followed both hydraulic lines to the front, one was on the left side of the gastank and the other is on the right side. Disconnected both lines, blew air threw lines and were clear. Next, blew air into pressure side heard oil bubble on pressure side. Did the same to return side, same thing. Started engine with lines disconnected, no oil at all. Moved levers up and down still no oil. Also, power director lever is stuck in the forward position. PTo lever will not move. Will not engage. Is this a pump problem? We have the IT manual is that the best one?

Wayne, the Agco dealer was the only place I was able to find the brake disc. Have you taken them out and checked them? They frequently get a glaze on them that can be sanded off with emery paper. I replaced one set and sanded the other set on mine. The sanded set seems to work better.

To T. Roger on your rough running 1960 D17. Mine runs rough also at times. Try using a good lead substitution additive and Marvel Mystery Oil to every tank of gas. If it smoothes out after a tank full continue using it until the next overhaul and replace with modern valves and guides. If this doesn�t affect it, then rebuild the centrifugal advance behind the points in the distributor housing and see if that doesn�t help a bit. Also I use a good multi-viscously oil while using the tractor on light loads. It seems to keep it a bit cleaner. Remember to change the oil to 30 wt summer and 20 wt winter if you have it in regular service. Hope this if of help.

It is fitted with a 2200cc diesel engine manufactured by Standard of England and was built in approx 1960. The restoration is now nearing completion but I am in desperate need of a pair of rear wings (fenders)the wings do not fair very well in this country so if you know where I might be able to find some in the states I would very much appreciate it.

I just got an AC 160 series with the diesel engine. I work at a scrap yard and a man sold it for $80.00. Just for kicks I hooked up a good battery and it started on first revolution. Everything seems to work except the hydraulics. Is there some trick to priming the pump on these? I suppose the pump probably needs rebuilding. Since I am new here can someone tell me where to get the pump parts? I will be replcing a '59 Ford 600 Jubilee with this one. I'm sure I'll like the AC better.

It also comes with a box scraper. It was running very good until it stopped. I took off the head and found 1 scored cylinder insert and piston. It was not leaking any fluids before that and I would guess that it needs very few parts to get in good running condition. All the sheet metal is there and the tires are in very good shape 75% or better. I am asking $500 for everything if you are interested. It does need paint however as there is a of of oxidation and some rust. Please contact me if you are interested as I will sell it to the first taker. Richard

I grew up with a 1957 D17 and spent countless hours plowing, discing, cultivating, etc, etc....(Of course I had to learn to drive a tractor using a WC). And for a short time, worked on them at an implement dealer. Recently bought a D17 Series IV at an auction. It has the heavy 3-pt hitch, but it goes down rather quickly when engine is shut off. Anyone have an idea what might be the problem? Perhaps faulty check valve? Also, where would be a good place to find an additional "stack" valve to add to the valve bank to run a loader bucket. This tractor came with an Allis loader but has a trip bucket that I'd like to convert to hydraulic-cylinder controlled and perhaps make it self-leveling. Does the Series IV use the 821 Lube for hydraulics/power director? Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.

A friend has a D-17 Series 4. It has a add-on hydralic spool valves with two control levers, is this an option avialable through A/C or is some farmer doing some "shade-tree mechanicing"?. We are not sure if it works as it isn't plumbed correctly. One of the pressure ports are hooked to the return side of the spool valves. Can someone tell me the correct place to hook up the return line from the spool valves to the hydralic resevoir. I am wondering about the hydralic specifications (p.s.i. and g.p.m.). The tractor is a later model of the series 4. We have been told it is rated at 60 hp.. If the hydralics can be made opperable is it possible to run a Hesston 14 foot hydroswing hay conditioner? Appericiate any comments concerning the hydralic system.

If not I should be able to help with alot of them, I grew up driving my grandpa's D14 and the first tractor I bought for my farming operation was a D17. I have in the last five years gone throught EVERYTHING on both tractors ie. motor, convert from 6 to 12 volt on the D14, the piston hyd. pumps for high pressure low volume, addition of front crank driven pump to run modern loader, added 3 point to D17 etc. etc. Just thought i would throw that out there, i have read most a-c books and manuals and I guess I am a true A-C fan. The above mech. work I did with an old friend that worked as amech. at an AC dealer when they were making and sellings these tractors and I would be happy to share any info. with someone wanting to get into A-C's.

I started driving AC many years ago. I have used WD.WD45.D14.D17 (4) D19 7010. &B. You can do more work on less fuel with a 17 than any thing else made. I use mine for discing,sowing hauling everything,mowing and even baling. As to the problem of creeping with the hand clutch in nuetral,(they all do this), try a novel solution; either use the brakes, or idle all the way down and turn the front wheels full. This works on mine. As to the gentleman who inquired about the 17 stuck in gear; We had a 19 that did this and we had to pull the trans cover off and align the shifter forks and move the gears to nuetral. Hope these tips help

DaveS wrote on Wednesday, May 17, 2000 (PDT):

I grew up on a farm. Never could afford the "green line" of tractors and my relative was an A-C dealer. We had a WD45, D17, 170, 180, D19, 190, and a 200. All were gas except the 200. I began driving the WD45 on a baler when I was 7 yrs. old and admit the hand clutch was great for "feathering" into hay lumps in windrows to keep the baler from shearing a pin. I still have the 170. It has an A-C 500 series loader on it. It was the most useful tractor on our farm. It has only about 3000 hrs. on it and has been shedded all the time. Really liked the 190 but it had more power than the rear end could handle. A weak spot. The 200 was better in that regard. We had A-C cultivators, A-C plows, an old 60 combine with a Wisconsin V-4 engine, an A-C digger, and an A-C disk. Very few A-C (Agco-Allis now) dealers still left around here. I'll always have a soft spot for those orange tractors even now. Nice to see so many of you out there who have one or like them. The 226 cu. in. 4 cylinder put out a lot of power. Only bad thing about all of the older models was that the poor operator sat down in the dirt when it was dusty/windy. If I could find a nice D14 or D15 I'd buy it as the C that we have a Woods 72" belly mower on is getting a bit touchy to start (6 volt). Sorry I rambled on.

I bought a 1965 D17 series IV gas from a dairy farmer who went out of business. He had just overhauled the top end and did some minor clutch work. It looked very rough when I bought it, but I knew inside it was a gem. I completely restored it and to this day it is the best tractor I have ever owned. I use it for mowing, snowplowing and general use. I wouldn't mind restoring any "D" series Allis's.

Rick Nikolich (GeneD14) wrote on Wednesday, December 22, 1999 (PST):

Vermeer has a required horse power table for their balers on their web site, but the 506 must be an obsolete model. Your best bet is to contact a dealer. If your D17 is an older series it has a high pressure low volume hydraulic system that won't be compatible with your baler. If you want to use an older D17 with modern low pressure high volume hydraulic implements like; loaders, balers, etc.... It is common to add an auxilary pump and spool valve to handle equipment that requires low pressure high volume. Good Luck!!

I bought a D-19 and am just wondering if there is anyone out there who has ever owned one could tell me any special characteristics of the 19. I have experienced the partial engagement of the hi-lo lever and I am glad to know that this is normal in the D series. I did discover that the O-rings on the power iverler lever shaft can be replaced without breaking the tractor apart if you happen to have a fluid leak around the diverter lever shaft. Be careful not to slide the shaft too far either direction when changing the O rings or the half moon key maight fall out and into the bottom of the housing. It can be reached by taking the cover off the right side of the housing, but it added about 3 hours to my original 30 minute job, but it could have been a lot worse.

Alot of factors are used to determine value; sheetmetal, tires,wf,power steering,year,electrical system,rim cond.,gauges, etc....The good 3pt conversions go for about $400 and they are worth it if you plan on using it alot. An early model D17 in good all around shape will bring around $2800 in the mid west. If it's in rough shape and has a bad engine or trans. I wouldn't go over $500. Good Luck!

Hi, I've only had my 160 since Aug 99. The brakes were bad, I've heard the 160's are prone to brake problems. The tie rod ends were worn out and I had to custom make new ones. I replaced the seals on the lower lift arms (big job!). Some parts are very tough to locate. Now for the good stuff; power steering! live pto! live hyd! heavy tractor with tires loaded. The Perkins engine has a good reputation for reliability and good cold starts. So far my 160 has been pretty good, it was restored by the previous owner a few years ago. Good Luck!

GeneD14 wrote on Thursday, November 18, 1999 (PST):

When the power director clutch is in the neutral position the transmission oil between the clutch discs causes just enough drag to make the tractor want to move. In cold weather the fluid is even thicker and will make this even more noticeable. This is normal for D-series tractors, so be sure to shift the gear selector into neutral before dismounting the tractor.
