boovuc 1,090 #1 Posted May 7, 2015 Big thanks to Ross who sold me his 417-8 Speed without finagling! Made the 140+ mile drive to get the tractor with the Series II KT Twin on it and remembered something else that came on these machines. The 12 volt DC lift for the attachments. (Plus a shiny chrome air cleaner and a little chrome left on the muffler). It needs work but my plans are to bring it back close to it's former self. The carb needs a cleaning and new lines plus plugs, points & condenser. It doesn't run bad considering the condition of the plugs and points! PS....that lift cycles faster than I thought it would. Much easier to pick a height for the deck than the 520 was before it lost it's mowing privileges. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boovuc 1,090 #7 Posted May 9, 2015 Hi Paul, I saw those two 417's on CL the last two weeks. Just a tad too far to travel for them. Please let me know how you make out with them. That was a great deal for two machines from what I read! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,138 #8 Posted May 9, 2015 Always wanted an 8-speed with electric lift. Would make an excellent rototilling tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
