D-19 Allis

Hello all! A neighbor wants me to buy his d-19 tractor and I was wondering if most of the D series are known for jumping out of gears? It has its original paint; nothing has been touched as far as engine or the transmission as far as he knows and he only had it for 15 years. The tractors did a lot of work for him so he thought highly of it. And would $3000 - 3500 be a fair price for it? Thanks!
 
3500 if it was great and really good paint also . check those brakes they are a pain . I got one and that's what I paid .
 
Diesel or gas?

I have a diesel that's been a dependable old workhorse over the years. It's been in the family since 1971. I bought it originally, used it for a few years, and sold it to my father. Then inherited it back when he died.

And, yes it will now eventually jump out of 2nd gear on the trans (3rd and 5th final drive) if you pull it hard enough. But, I don't use it hard enough anymore that it's a problem. It could be a shift fork problem rather than a gear problem, but I've never bothered to go into it.

The price, $3,000 to $3500 sounds reasonable enough. If you bought it for that price I don't think you'd go wrong. There's a gas burner in the YT photo ads for $4,500 and it looks average. There were something over 10,000 D19's made over a three year model run, but I don't have a breakdown of numbers of diesel, gas, and propane. Probably well over half were diesel, a few propane, and the rest gas.

Hope this helps.
 
I never had any trouble with the brakes, but keeping the oil in the right compartment is a pain. It keeps going some where. My three point arms settle down fast. Do like the power director hand clutch.
 
Some of the D-19s had over heating issues. IRC it was the early diesel models. I think the weak part was the cylinder head. The $3000-3500 is a fair price IF everything is in working order. If not then it is high. The resale is not high on these tractors.
 
If it is not jumping out of gear and is in good operating condition (with decent tires) a D19 with a 3 point for $3500 isn't bad at all. There's no real issue with the brakes - until they are worn out and need replaced - then its a GIANT PIA to repair. Especially compared to other tractors of that era.
 
There a good tractor but what are you going to use it for? Don't forget they don't have true live p.t.o or hydraulic. It makes them start easy in the winter but when the clutch is down everything is done. Also if you don't shift the power director in neutral a gyro mower can actually drive the tractor forward even with the clutch down. I had several Allis and liked them all but again if the tractor is taken care off you won't have many problems. I never had one that got to jumping out of gear but I got a 1550 Oliver that when disking In the right spot it will pop out usually when you least expect it.
 
I've had a gas D19 for years and its been a great tractor for me,as far as the PTO/Power director set up I like it a lot better for some things than regular LPTO.And apparently its not too hard to get used to as my wife 'mastered' its operation in about 30 minutes,plus its trouble free compared to the high/low set ups in Farmalls and Olivers which I also own.It will hold back in low range going down hill a big plus.
 
I would say if it has 3ph, and the gears are solid, I have 5 allis and none pop out of gear, but if some one who owned it like to grind the gears then it will pop out from the abuse. My question to you is do you need one that big. Price seems fair and if you get used to it the hi low with neutral is great. I baled alot of hay with a D series and loved it.
