The KT17 engine is very capable engine both first and second series.  The main problem I have noticed is the cooling fan screen plugs easily when mowing.  That was solved with the 417 that had a large screen.  Put one on my C175, simple bolt on improvement.

Series 2 like the one in the picture resolved a lot of the problems with series KT 17s that earned such a bad rep.

Hi Guys.

Hey thank you for your responses.  Hmmm. I am figuring what I may be repairing before starting these two tractors,.the owners resently pass away leaving these 

in storage for three years. I know better then to put detergent oil in them. So figuring on straights weight oil non detergent oil

Then also locating gasket gets. Might need tune up and new air filters. By the way, your right they are c175.

Thank 

Bill

Today, I recovered both tractors from the barn. I have never seen a mower deck rusted so bad that one has rusted holes on the outer sides,

Before heading home, I took them both to a car wash. 

Next task, pull spark plugs and see if they turn over. One thing at a time.

Thanks for all your help.

Bill
