The Allis Chalmers D17 was one of their best selling models. It was built from 1958-67. Between those years 84,914 of these orange beauties were built and were sold for around $5500. The D17 featured a power-director hand clutch transmission that was four gears forward and one reverse gear. The AC D17 had power adjustable rear wheels, and a traction boost system. With the hand lever clutch it allowed for on the go shifting between the direct and lower drive and a neutral allowing the PTO to continue power.
Allis Chalmers made the D17 in 3 different engine types, regular gas, LP gas, and diesel. The gas engine put out about 52.7 hp, the LP gas engine produced about 50.8hp, and the diesel produced 51.1 horses.
