My Herd

[Ken B 3,132]

Ole Ken B hasn’t posted in a while but I’m still kicking and Horsing around. Lately I have been sticking to tractors I have a solid use for. Currently I have a 417 with a Kohler Command 18 I transplanted with Stevebo. I also have an LXI I recently repainted along with a DXI and an Xi that I am currently selling. I just picked up the DXI, although I have had it a very short time I really like it! It has 475 hours on it and it runs fantastic. The 417 wound up with a Kohler Command because a flywheel magnet decided to let loose and put a huge hole in the side of the block. Stevebo came to the rescue with the Kohler Command he had in stock. I’m really glad I went this route, such a smooth and powerful runner. In order, 417 with 18 Kohler Command, 520 xi with Kohler 20, LXI with Kawasaki 20 liquid cooled and DXI diesel 23 hp.

All beautiful machines Ken!  I’m definitely a fan of the re-powered 417. I have a few v-twin conversions myself. They are hard to beat and well suited to a Wheel Horse layout. Smooth and powerful!

Very nice!  Xi tractors rock!

Nice to see you post again Ken and very nice machines.

I might be interested in that DXI and might want to upgrade from the 520 HC snow blower machine to one of those If I can find a 2 stager for it.
