Gas Man 19 #1 Posted March 6, 2020 I need to make some room in the shed. What do you think I can get for my C-175? Runs good and comes with a snow plow and a 42" deck. I pulled out of a barn after a 10 year rest and have only put a couple hours on it. I'm going to put turf tires on the rear before she goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,714 #3 Posted March 6, 2020 Series 1 or series 2 KT 17 makes a difference in value..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gas Man 19 #4 Posted March 6, 2020 I'm not sure. Probably a Series 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12Horse Paladin 1,038 #5 Posted March 6, 2020 Well...im curious to know, myself, for sure As a side...cuz i really dont know, what are the differences between a series 1 and 2? How do you tell which is which; does it just go by build date? What makes one more desireable? See...i really like those Blackhoods; one for my bucket list... Thanks for any info!

c-series don 10,154 #6 Posted March 6, 2020 That’s a series one, there was a lubrication issue with the series one which apparently was only a problem mowing on slopes. I believe that was solved by slightly over filling the crankcase with oil. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The engine ID tag will have a Spec. Number on it. If the Spec. number is 24299 or lower it is a Series One, higher than that is a Series Two. With a series one the biggest issue would be operating it on hills, lubrication won't be as good as a series two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,211 #8 Posted March 7, 2020 The only issue with that engine is the operator that doesn't keep it's oil level topped off. Even better is slightly over filled. Thing is a beast! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midpack 1,011 #9 Posted March 7, 2020 I have a machine just like that one. Also have a 417 with a series 2 on it. Both have done duty with a single stage snow thrower on the front. Hours on the series 2 are around 600 ish No clue about the series 1, but I know it was well cared for. All that being said... the series 2 machine did a fine job, but when I was using the series 1 machine, all I could think was "this thing is a BEAST!" Don't fear a well maintained series 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gas Man 19 #10 Posted March 7, 2020 Thanks for all of the feedback on the engine! I'm going to check it out to make sure, but I've always assumed it was a Series 1. So....the magic question....What should I ask for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,211 #11 Posted March 7, 2020 Depends on condition, and your area of the country. A good looking, well cared for Series 1 machine, that does everything it's supposed to do, will probably max out around the $500 mark, I would think. Mind you, many out there are scared of 'em.

Gas Man 19 #15 Posted March 7, 2020 I think I'm gonna ask $750 for her. But that will be AFTER I find a snow plow for my 335 Deere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gas Man 19 #16 Posted March 7, 2020 That video pushing dirt is pretty impressive!! With Ag tires it would be amazing! (or you'd break something?!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WildmanC120 613 #17 Posted March 9, 2020 That KT17 sounds great. A C-175 is my most wanted model currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
