Is this D17 a series 1, if so is that a positive ground cable hanging there? Thank you Daniel Drape Alaska

Question! I have the 743B How do you bleed the fuel system for the machine to start again?? Btw great video on this rare machine.

I can tell you live where there is no salt on the roads in the winter

Thanks good info

Is it possible to put shift lever in after tower is installed

Do you have a video on servicing the air oil filled canister in front over the battery?

My drive gear lost a tooth. Is it possible to get that gear to drop down through that hole and not have to split the tractor?

Is the WD hand clutch a wet clutch or does the PTO run in a different oil sump???

When did you put oil back into the pto case?

Thank you

Hello.. I just rebuilt my cylinder and it's leaking where it treads together in the center. It's as tight as I can get it. should I put tread sealant on it? Thank you

Awesome video man, this was a perfect guide to touch up this model

Great video, I'm not getting fuel to the top filter on my Long 2360 so I must have a stopped up fuel flow pump.

I've got a 175 that I put 9 gears rebuilt a transmission for a guy. And I don't know if it was that way when I got it or not I don't remember the 3-point automatically comes up with the neutral spool. Any idea how to check what's wrong

Would that bearing setup be cause of a stuck shift lever?

My seal on shaft is leaking. Cant i pull shaft without removing rear axle???

Great video . Now ,can you show us a magical way to remove and replace the starter ? From what I can tell , looks like the starter has to pass through the exhaust system . Lol . Just kidding but really , remove the hyd pump ??

Back in the early 60s Dad had a mounted corn picker on a WD and he would slip the hand clutch all day long ( the tractor ground speed was too fast when fully engaged )There was smoke coming out of the hand clutch cover at noon and at the end of the day. At the end of the season we would remove som shims to tighten the clutch. What a great tractor that was. Glad to see you making videos on this tractor.

don't know if you'll see comments anymore but how the heck did you get the bolt into the base plug. can barely get both hands in to hold the bowl up and screw the top bolt let alone get the bolt aligned with the female thread in the top of the "base plug" edit: after posting that I went back out and tried again and the bolt found the base plug first time LOL now I'm wondering how tight I can go on the bolt without breaking the glass bowl...I have a tiny chipped area at the top edge of the bowl but the mating surface where the rubber gasket sits looks fine so I would think it should seal...but there's still a little wet after giving some pretty snug turns of the wrench....since there's two rubber gaskets I can imagine you need to tighten it up pretty good - just don't want to snap the glass bowl....any guidance?

I appreciated your video. just did my air, oil and hyd filters...you were right about the mess from the hyd filter...I thought I was going to be clever and put a plastic trash bag around the old filter so the mess would drain into the bag...problem was it didn't quit pouring out after the old filter was off so trying to put the new one on was a comedy - the filter was so oily in seconds i could hardly grab it to turn...couldn't get the threads started - finally after a few quarts of oil I got a wrench on it and got the threads started what a mess...fuel filter is next... anyway what I wanted to ask is if you ever had a leak at the fuel manifold where the lines start that go up to the injectors? I don't know if the fittings are loose - can't even get a wrench on it because of clearance...any tips?

Why would you not drain old oil and hydraulic fluid if you are charging the filters. Waste of money towards filters if you are not refreshing with new oil and hydraulic fluid after draining. Otherwise great job! 😊

What plants did you use around the pool? Will the plants roots ever grow into pool liner?

What size bolts/nuts were you using for this setup?

I do not know whether you’ll answer this or not I just installed a brand new clutch pilot bearing and pressure plate and to my D 15 which is actually an eye 600 Backo Allis chalmers when I press the clutch pedal down makes a loud grinding cylon what do you think is wrong? It’s all brand new wondering if I put the plate in backwards but it wouldn’t go but one way. If you would answer I would greatly appreciate it thank you very much, Doug

Hi Nash, are the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft gears factory marks? Or did you premark them yourself before disassembling motor? I have my motor totally disassembled now but never thought to check for the marks or center punching my own marks...

Hello.. I'm not having any luck or the dealer finding the part number for the seal to go into the front of the hydraulic reservoir. It's leaking and allowing oil to dip out the inspection plate below the clutch. Would you know where I can get that? Thank you

I’ve gotten the exact gauges and can’t figure out how to hook the temp and fuel gauge. 3 prongs. Which goes where? Thanks

How did you pull the crank pulley? Air hammer? Pulley puller?

Thank you. Didn't even occur to me that those darn weights would be held in place with nuts that had keepers on them. I spent yesterday afternoon trying to loosen those nuts. I will pull the gear off while I am at it just to make it easy. I appreciate your time.

What’s a good pressure for each side of the director? Also is this similar to an Allis 180?

Is this similar to a 180 Allis

where do u buy parts like door hardware, window rubber, top cap valve etc ? can u provide links ? is year a round still in bus & can u get parts there ? superb vids. thanks

Nice video! Do you know what type of transmission fluid the 205 takes?

Nice video. That fuel filter is a bear! A few comments: 2:55 yours is missing a hydraulic hose assembly with a steel elbow on one end and a cap on the other (or maybe it was added to later machines). You just pull out the end of the hose and remove the cap to drain the oil. When you're done, the hose just lays horizontally behind the engine. Bobcat P/N is 6572070. They have a real nice online parts book showing the parts breakdowns. I don't trust those oil change valves. If the valve leaks/gets bumped/vibrates open, the oil could drain without you knowing it. For much better access, change the fuel filter before you reinstall the hydraulic filter. Also, the coolant overflow bottle pulls right out - up and to the rear (I also remove the bracket, but YMMV. My battery is also on that side). The o-ring you pick up at 24:20 does not belong there. It goes on the filter housing at 26:46. I don't know why they don't give you the drain screw o-ring or the rubber washer on the bowl bottom either. You are correct about the primer bulb at 29:03. It belongs on the inlet side of the filter housing. 29:26 Don't need to take the line off the pump. There is a knob on the top of the injector pump, right where the fuel return line to the rear injector connects to the pump. Crack this valve open, and squeeze the primer bulb. This flushes the whole fuel system up through the return lines to the tank. When you don't hear any more air going through the lines, tighten the knob and the fuel system is bled. The worst thing is that there is a universal joint between the engine and pump. There are three fittings accessible by tilting the cab and reaching around the left side of the pump. They're real tough to get to, but they need grease.

Super helpful video thanks for the effort you went to making it

I’m needing parts for the power director. Wondering where to order them from?

It would be nice to know which parts you found were damaged or badly worn when you disassembled the tractor sections. And if you could say which disassembly video is associated with the assembly video, so we could review those in the associated order without watch many videos. Thanks. I realize these videos are a whole lot of extra work. So thank you for that. I have X2 WD-45s, one is my parts tractor and the other one is my operational tractor. SO I am watching for the education that your videos nicely provide.

Where did you find that heater valve? And where can one find a heater core for the year around cabs?

I have a 2460 would like to get a new steering cylinder any idea where I could get a new one? Thanks

I've done that a time or two, having lots of allis tractors. Not being critical of you, but shouldn't have you used a dial indicator to check end play of the center shaft? Make sure that you had the right shim thickness? Like I said, please don't take that as me being critical or derogatory. Thank you

System reset codes and maintenance

I have used petroleum jelly on tires before just rub it around the sidewall the the over spray can be wiped off or pressure washed off later

I'm doing the same thing right now. I decided to clean and paint the axles before I remount the new tires. Looks great. Used Van Sykle Allis Chalmers orange. Perfect match. I may regret my tire choice. I bought rice tires with really tall lugs. My old tires have been bald for years and have been tired of the spinning. I bought new rims because the old rims were rusted out. The paint job from the factory was pretty bad with lots of deep flaking paint. Did the best I could with it. Should have had them sandblasted before hand. But the finish job still looks good but you can definitely see the issues. Didn't have time to add filling primer to smooth out the surface.

Great video.....now I can get my Universal DTC455 started again.... Very clear....well done Lions Head Ontario Canada

@13:47- that side of the tractor and fuel filter, we are looking for the supply line coupler for our AC 170, any ideas where to get that and/or another name for it? Thanks!

Thanks for this video and have a great day

I believe that the engine on the WD 45 diesel is the same engine on the D 17 six cylinder diesel. Everything on the outside of both look the same. Im referring to the six cylinder diesel.

Just purchased a used 743. This will be very helpful when I perform the first service. Thanks!
