Is the 417A up for auction too ?

[Ed Kennell 37,979]

Sure is Jeff.   1900+ hours on the Kohler twin.    48" deck that needs some TLC.   A twisted hood/ stand.  

   Hoping that thins out the bidders and gives Ed a chance.

1986...It does have the motion lever  on the console where it is easy to install Ed's foot control.

Of course the good Eaton 1100 W hyd lift.

Yeah, not bad Eric.    They sold it as a non runner and 5 minutes after I bought it, I had it running and drove it on the trailer.   It smokes a little on start up but then runs smooth and clean.     I'll chain it to a tree and check the Eaton tomorrow.

 

I coulda filled the trailer with those little TROY -BILT ponies and broncos.    They sold for $100 to $350.

The big JD zero was $2800.  The Craftsmans  $300.

  Scored a good  there Ed.  

[Ed Kennell 37,979]

OK, the Eaton passed the pull test spinning both wheels while chained to the tree.

 

   She runs strong with no smoke.  It's a KEEPER.

So I stripped her down for a good washing.

I was really surprised at how clean the smooth aluminum heads were compared to the rough cast iron block fins.

[AMC RULES 37,124]

Looks like a good shot of compressed air...  

would eliminate the majority of that dirt accumulation. 

[Ed Kennell 37,979]

Ok, all cleaned up and back together.    Man that's a lot of tin and bolts around that Kohler.

 

 

Now, on to the 48"deck.    It needs a tensioner idler pulley and a clean up.
