Pollack Pete 2,273 #1 Posted March 27, 2016 Took a 1/2 hour drive yesterday and came home with this 418A.I think it's a 1987.42 in side discharge deck looked much newer.I checked the serial number on the deck.It's a 2004.haven't tried starting it yet.Needs the obvious things.Battery,has hard brittle fuel lines,probably carb cleaning,etc.I was going to use my latest C-195 that has severe carb issues for cyclone rake duty.Think I'll push that one into the bone yard and use this 418A instead.It probably needs a lot less work.Here's some pics.Enjoy. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harryt 36 #7 Posted March 27, 2016 I have a very similar one which is a 417-A, it's a really good tractor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,156 #8 Posted March 27, 2016 Nice score I know most xxx-A machines have the eaton 700 trans but the 418-A and a few others were outfitted with the eaton 1100. Also has the louvered hood. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 10,037 #14 Posted March 27, 2016 I have always wanted a 418-A even though I have a 417-A, it's basically the same tractor. I guess it's just part of the addiction. Power wash that ole' gal, maybe some new decals and run it !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
