Sheet metal D-17

[weggej]

I bought a used series iv D-17 a while back and it didn't have any of the front sheet metal on it. The radiator cover and hood sections were gone and they didn't know where thei Gpa put it years ago. It did run fine and I mainly wanted it to use as a loader tractor since it has an Allis loader on it. I bought a used font radiator cover and grill off ebay for 25.00 but it doesnt fit the radiator that is on the D-17 and I was wondering if someone had switched the radiator on it and I have no reference to compare it with. The sheet metal seems to be to narrow and short compared to the radiator. I was wondering if someone with a D-17 would messure how tall the front section of this should be so I would know if the sheet metal they sold is really from a differt D sreis tractor.

Radiator in mine is 18" wide x 23 1/2" tall. It's a series III would have the radiator as a IV.

Thank you very much. My radiator messures the same thing so the sheet metal cover is from something else.

Sorry I dont know if the cover would be smaller on a Series I or II

I'll bet you got sheet metal for a D14 or D15. As far as I know the differences in D17 radiator cowls were the early ones had headlights and the later ones the headlight were on the fenders.

I have a couple of Series IV D-17s, I could look at yours to see what you have, if that would suit you. I live between Washington and Union. 636-239-7503 Thanks Roger
