Kelly 1,028 #1 Posted May 29, 2008 My uncle has found a WH for sale, but has little info about it, hoping you guys could help me arm him, with a little info, here is what he knows, 17hp WH hydro trans with hyd. lift and a 48" deck I know they made a 317 but did they have hyd. lift? also know they had a 417, or could it be either? The seller said he thinks the motor is no good but not sure, been setting in a shed for 3-4 years he is asking $250, I told him that would be a very very good price running, but about top money with a bad motor unless it was clean. I would like to guess a model, and range of years, he's going to look at it tomarrow. I told him to take his camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,280 #3 Posted May 30, 2008 There was also the C-175 auto, 1981-84, and I think those are the ones with the Series-1 Kohler 17's. I've never owned one but they have a bad reputaion(the motor, not the tractor). Mike....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
