picked up a tractor at a yard sale that has been sitting for some time can't find the model number on it anywhere . I found 2 numbers in the casting . on the bell housing it reads D17 3107 and on the trans. 120H . i am assuming that it is a D17 and 3107 is the serial no. would i be correct to assume this ? does anyone know a website where i can run those no.'s and get the year ?

Found this on the internet.

Can't find Serial Number (SN) on D17
Bruce McKay Looked everywhere... not finding the SN of my D17. Please provide photo or detailed description of it's location. Maybe I just need to use degreaser on everything as I suspect I'm not finding it because of goo! (grease)
Thanks in advance.



daryl Check on left side of engine where engine block bolts to clutch housing, Should be stamped into clutch houseing on flat part of flange.

From this website i think the serial number can't be 3107. 1958 seriaql number began at 4300.


D17 Serial Numbers:
Location: Left-front of torque housing

1958: 4300
1959: 16500
1960: 28200
1961: 33100
1962: 38070
1963: 65001
1964: 70611
1965: 77090
1966: 80533
1967: 86061
Final: 89213

thanks for the quick response don .. yes indeed it is a D17 on the torque housing followed by 3107 . I'm wondering if some of these tractors were made here in Canada ? I by no means any expert but i think it'd gotta be in the 60's because it's coil points and condenser 12 volt and has a voltage regulator up by ignition . Were all the Allis Chamlers this way ? I thought maybe the earlier ones had mags

 

[moose1]

oh and by the way i took brake clean wire brush and rags and srubbed that torque housing and those are the numbers D17 3107

I am afraid we may need to see some photos here. If you could, a few shots of the whole tractor, and maybe a few more of the serial #

k will take a few photo's and post after supper . Were the allis's only built in the states ?

 

[moose1]

there is also a patent pending sticker on the left side of the tractor i will take a photo of the last patent on that sticker is a canadian one from 1964 if i'm not mistaken . will try to upload some phots after supper that might take a while unless wifey helps :thumbsup:

If your eyes can tolerate the blue and orange colors the allis site might be some help.

i will take a guess and say since the last patten filled acording to the tag says 1963 that it was made in 63 are later since before had how can you have a patten date instead of saying patten pinding

Or could the date mean the date that the patent expires??? And maybe it is an early 58 or late 57 D-17????

thank you sound guy for posting pic's .. Let the debate begin . Do patents expire ? the last 1 is a canadian one 1965 . That's my guess as for the year. I have some others pics as well if anyone thinks that may help . that is the model and the serial number in the photo right ?

Do patents expire ? the last 1 is a canadian one 1965 .

Patents do expire -- US utility patents now expire after 20 years, US design patents after 14 years. Formerly, utility patents lasted only 17 years.

I don't know about Canadian patents.

I believe what you have is a 1957 D17.:thumbsup:

I was doing some googling and getting a little conflicting info, but some places list the the D17 starting in 1958 @ SN 4300.

But others list them as starting in 1957 @ SN 1001. So I believe this is what you have got.

But whatever year it is, I believe it is definatally pre 1960's, because of the metal allis-chalmers logo. The later D17's had it painted on the hood. NOT a metal plate.
