The 417A is a very capable machine.    I run a 48" side discharge deck on mine to mow about 2 acres.      

If you maintain the tractor properly, it should run for 2000 hours.

I too have a 417-A, I inherited it from my step grandfather. He’s the guy that introduced me to Wheel Horse tractors when I was around 12 years old. He was a retired tug boat captain and had a lawn mowing business to keep him busy! When he passed I inherited his 417-A and his C-161 Twin Automatic. The 417 has around 1700 hrs on it and who knows how many are on the 161. He bought the 417 because the 161 was getting tired. It’s now my dedicated snowblower tractor and only sees a few hours a year. The C-161 is resting peacefully in my basement waiting for the next assignment.
