harryt 281 #1 Posted February 19, 2016 I picked a wheelhorse 417-A up today from brighton general auctions. it comes with deck and also came with a sweeper. It has been stood in a garage for the last 20 years!! Only done 188hrs. quite a tidy machine, haven't had time yet to overhaul and try to start it 7 Triumph66, nigel, S1g and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan 1,273 #8 Posted February 19, 2016 Very nice. Good job The Showman wasn't there. Chris says he has run out of room for tractors. He just fills his van up with little bits and pieces now. Still not sure what he's got planned for the Kubota though. 2 Triumph66 and the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #9 Posted February 20, 2016 Chris says he has run out of room for tractors. He just fills his van up with little bits and pieces now. Still not sure what he's got planned for the Kubota though. I think Chris will use the digger to create an underground storage facility or he might use it to store them on top of the existing buildings...... The possibilities are endless...... 3 pmackellow, the showman and Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harryt 281 #13 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I managed to get it running now, new plugs, cleaned points, new fuel line and that was it. Everything works as it should, even the lights and hydraulic deck lift. Edited March 2, 2016 by harryt 1 pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
