muz123 1,192 #1 Posted November 26, 2020 Traded one of my 520s for this super low hour 1986 417-8! It has the series II KT17. Runs like a top and looking forward to many years of work out of it, needs some cleaning up and a new seat. Oh and Happy Thanksgiving ! 9 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill D 1,927 #12 Posted November 26, 2020 Take one of the weights off and check the back side. I have a similar pair of weights. They should have a recess on one side so the bolts don't stick out like that. They may be installed backwards. Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
