Hello all, I recently inherited a Wheel Horse 417-A from my Late Grand-Father. It has been leaking from the Oil Pressure Sensor and I can’t seem to find this particular sensor anywhere If you could give me some leads that would be great! The engine is a KT17 Series II it smokes right under the muffler coming from the sensor i would like to fix it as it has the mowing deck, 2 Tillers, snow plow/dozer, snow blower, and 2 cabs this tractor is very centimental to me and it runs amazing other than this little part!! Also if you could provide any information on this particular model that would be great! Thanks!

After pretty easily clearing it with the wife (I was shocked) im pretty sure im going to up my herd to 5 this weekend, this would be by far my biggest haul!! She did quickly tell me that I will have to at least slim it down by 1 shortly after if I do make this deal. Bye bye parts tractor Found on CL (2) 417-A's with a 48" deck, a 42" rd deck, and a snow plow. The stuff really isn't in that great of shape and there are a lot of unknowns but the price is right and im hoping I can save them. The guy got the whole package from an older gent that broke down and bought a big box store tractor, he was told the horses were his and his brothers and thinks they may have had them since new. He told me the tractor with the 48" deck started and seem to run good he turned the deck on which he said was super quiet and drove it around a little and parked it in the barn. The other tractor turns over good but wouldn't start and he said he noticed that machine has 3000 hours on the clock . I currently have 2 312 hydros which are great tractors and a 312-8 parts tractor and ive always thought I want more power. I don't want to get into onans considering all the stuff ive read about and my dream tractor a 420LSE will probably never come up so these 417's really intrigue me. One of my 312's is an 1987 and I really like the older wheel horse style when I compare it to my 1990 when toro started to take over, I still do love that machine though. So my thought is to take the chance and grab this package because the attachments alone are worth it to me, then if I end up with a nice 417-A even if its a combo of the two or better yet 2 417-A's ill be in real good shape. I would plan to fix it or maybe even them up real nice like I did to my 1990 312. The tractors are listed as 1985's but they both have louvered hoods so I think they would be 86's? I hope they have the KT17 series 2's but I have a really flat yard so I would think even the series 1 would be fine for me? I really like the fact that these seem to be more rare of a tractor too considering they were only produced 2 years. Please fellow nuts tell me what you think about this proposition and more so the 417-A Thanks a lot Paul
