D14 came out in '57, touted as almost the same hp as a WD45, but smaller wheels- THAT was DUMB!. Lighter weight than the 4400 lb WD45. D17 came out later, 53+ hp- so if another said 17 under for the D14- very likely in the ballpark. That would be 36, WD45 was about 40+. Most features were the same on the two tractors- live pto and hyd via Power Director hand clutch. Eight speeds forward, two reverse.

Only saving grace that AC had in those years was that they went to wider tires than the competition, to gain traction. All others had 34-38 inch diameter tires. More lugs on the ground, more leverage.
