AHS 1,520 #1 Posted May 11 New to me, 417-8 w/ rototiller and 42” RD deck. Oooh, and WH tractor cover! (I have never seen one!). The implements are in amazing shape! The tractor has got 974 hours on it. The tractor has no lift cable for the rototiller. The points are toast, i have ordered new points. It has electric lift, I’m not familiar with it… is it good for lifting up heavy items? Like a 2 stage snowblower or rototiller? Here’s a picture. I will get more when the tractor. Im going to get it tomorrow! 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gasaholic 269 #3 Posted May 11 Nice! I just got one too , added to my stable a few days ago. (tractor, tiller, snow blade, no deck) Had to order bunch of parts for the tiller, and it is in nowhere near as good shape, but runs. need a whole bunch of work and re-wiring after years of "beer buddy" cobbling work on it... but nothing too difficult. Will have to get some pics if I remember to and post here.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 58,940 #4 Posted May 11 Nice pick-up. The electric lift will handle your attachments just fine. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 9,628 #5 Posted May 11 I’ve said it here before, I believe the 417-8 and 418-8 would make the best rototilling tractor. The 8-Speed and electric lift is a great combination for this application. Although the electric lift is noticeably slower than hydraulic lift it’s a heck of a lot easier than manual lift. Keep us updated with pics! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,175 #6 Posted May 11 @AHS lots of opportunities there ! highly recommend in that electric cable lift , and all related movement areas , make that cable flex like a hose , enhances every stage of movement , stop rust , pete 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AHS 1,520 #8 Posted May 11 Here’s some more pictures. Man, i just can’t believe it, on the mower deck; there’s grease on the pulleys and on the wheels! The Wheelhorse cover, un ripped! Someone took care of this! Ive got some white spots in the hood, i think that buff out… there’s the 71 Chevy 250/3 ott. Saying “what about me?!?!” 6 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
