TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #12 Posted August 21, 2010 The engine is from a 1973 Wheel Horse 14-8 or 14 automatic, so that doesn't help with identifying this one. It looks an awful lot like a 1986 417-8 to me though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rustynut 4 #16 Posted August 21, 2010 i wander what it is... when i go back to my dads tongight i will try to get the model number but its pretty well wore off :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #17 Posted August 21, 2010 Thats an electric lift - its got wires going into it instead of oil lines... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #18 Posted August 21, 2010 i wander what it is... Did you see my post up there ^ ? Get a good picture of the front of the drive belt guard where it lines up with the engine pulley. I know it's faded bad, but see if you can make out 31-17K802 as the model number.

whlpny 201 #19 Posted August 22, 2010 Hey TT- did any of the 417's have vented hoods? I have one here thats non vented- maybe its a 418? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusjeepn 59 #20 Posted August 22, 2010 Bob, My 417A has a vented hood! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #21 Posted August 22, 2010 The 1985 models didn't have the louvered hood - which is a good way to tell them apart...... as long as it's the original hood. The only three models to use the louvered hood in 1986 were the 312-A, 417-A, and the 417-8. Those three models also came standard with the 15" "comfort grip" steering wheel. (vs. the 13" two-spoke wheel or the hard plastic "cheapie" 3 spoke wheel) The 1986 417-8 also came standard with electric lift, so based on all three of those clues, my hypothesis is a 1986 417-8, and that's my final answer.
