Neighbor gave me a D17 with motor stuck. He also has a c gleaner that has been sitting for 10 years put can turn motor over, will it fit in D17.
I own a WD, but would like wide front, if above will not work can I put wd into d17

I'd try to unstick the D-17 engine. I have a D-17 that had engine problems and it now runs great. I fill the cylinder with ATF after making sure it didn't have any water in them. Some how mouse had made a nest in at least one cylinder and it took a lot of messing with to clean the junk out

If the D-17 is a deezel, that combine engine would go in with minimal work. The deezel engine is 3 inches longer than a gasser. A WD engine could be grafted into a D-17 gas chassis using parts from the D-17 engine, but will be waaaaay short of HP.

The Gleaner has a full rev governor. When it's started, the engine on the Gleaner will go up to rated RPM and stay there(2100?). Of course, the D17 has a hand regulated throttle governor. Swapping them is not a lot of fun. Best bet is to get the front cover gasket, and just swap the whole front case cover, including new shaft seal. Plenty of labor, but you'll have adjustable throttle then. May also need a new oil pan gasket, depending on how the front comes off.
