ol550 830 #2 Posted June 6, 2018 The KT17 engine is very capable engine both first and second series. The main problem I have noticed is the cooling fan screen plugs easily when mowing. That was solved with the 417 that had a large screen. Put one on my C175, simple bolt on improvement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redone 45 #5 Posted June 8, 2018 Hi Guys. Hey thank you for your responses. Hmmm. I am figuring what I may be repairing before starting these two tractors,.the owners resently pass away leaving these in storage for three years. I know better then to put detergent oil in them. So figuring on straights weight oil non detergent oil Then also locating gasket gets. Might need tune up and new air filters. By the way, your right they are c175. Thank Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redone 45 #6 Posted June 9, 2018 Today, I recovered both tractors from the barn. I have never seen a mower deck rusted so bad that one has rusted holes on the outer sides, Before heading home, I took them both to a car wash. Next task, pull spark plugs and see if they turn over. One thing at a time. Thanks for all your help. Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
