Kevbo 81 #1 Posted May 5, 2013 So in search of a parts tractor to swap engines with my current 417-A I found this one! Sure is a little rough on the outside, but the engine sounds good when cranked over with a battery. Due to it sitting for about six years it's going to need a little work to get it going. Between the parts on my other 417-A I think I can get this engine going. Came with a 42" plow and new tires for $200. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,976 #6 Posted May 6, 2013 Not bad for $200 Kevin. How many hours are showing on the meter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,976 #8 Posted May 6, 2013 If the engine was taken care of, it should be good. Saying that cause my 417 is showing 874 hours now and still running strong. Also when I bought mine it had been sitting for about five years due to the original owner had passed. I hope things work out good for you with the engine swap. Or maybe it will be easier to touch up the frame paint and put your other sheet metal on this 417 you just bought. Is that a good option? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
