ATolles 52 #26 Posted May 9, 2020 Have no Idea! It sure doesn’t look like any type of oil I’ve ever seen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It came off of a 417A, so it's going to work perfectly. At only $15 and free shipping, it's not worth the trouble to jury rig something. I've bought a few parts from Matt, and he always ships promptly. Jim Edited May 10, 2020 by SPINJIM 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Likely condensation that has developed over many cold/hot cycles. If you let it sit in a clear container the water will separate and go to the bottom over a period of time and you will see how much there is. The hydro pumps are great blenders.

ATolles 52 #29 Posted May 10, 2020 @SPINJIM I looked all over Ebay for the 417A dipstick. What is the listing title? Thanks everyone for all the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's "Wheel Horse 417-A transmission oil dipstick". Make sure you put the dash in the 417-A, and look in Mower Parts & Accessories, under Home & Garden, not just in Mowers.

ATolles 52 #32 Posted May 10, 2020 I changed the oil (10W-30) today in the Eaton 1100 transmission and used a NAPA (WIX) 1410 Trans filter. I also changed the oil in the KT17 Series 2 motor (SAE 30) and installed a new fuel filter. Is there an oil filter for the KT17 Series 2 motor? I didn’t see one. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATolles 52 #34 Posted May 10, 2020 I looked everywhere and count find one on mine. I found a manual for the KT17 Series 2. I think the oil filter was an option. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATolles 52 #35 Posted May 10, 2020 @cleat Good advice on the gas cap. I just ordered a new 7” long one from Amazon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATolles 52 #36 Posted May 16, 2020 Started getting some new things for my 417-A. I put on a new gas cap with level indicator and new trans dipstick assembly. Changed the trans oil and filter (changing for a second time today because there was so much bad oil the first time), KT17 motor oil, and fuel filter. I’m looking for the part number for the KT17 Series 2 air filter. Anyone have that number? Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATolles 52 #38 Posted May 17, 2020 @gwest_ca Really appreciate the info. The filter housing that I’m putting the filter in is the series 2 deicing version. I should be able to find the size from the file though gave me. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
