My AC D-17 Posted by Richard Naylor on 09/07/2013

I have owned this tractor since 1988 when my father died and it was passed on to me. He bought it new in 1962. It has never been out of our family. One of the most reliable pieces of equipment I have ever owned. It is just now getting to the point I need to do some injector work on the engine.

Of course, being as old as it is, it isn't easy to find parts. I was in S.E. Asia (Vietnam War) when he bought it, but I remember him talking about how great a tractor it was. I am proud it was passed on to me. It only once has failed to start and that was my fault.
