WELL YOUR ARE LOOKING AT ABOUT $125 TO $150.00 WITH BATTERY BLADES AND CARB REBUILD, AND I WOULD ALMOST SAY IT WILL NEED BEARINGS IN THE DECK, BUT IF THAT IS ALL I WOULD SAY AROUND $250 I GAVE $125 FOR THIS 712H AND 48 IN DECK RUNNING BUT I NEED TO PUT BEARINGS IN THE DECK, THEY ARE NOISY.------------- 190XT 2WD45 WF D15 D14 CA BIG10 302 & 303 bailers 77G rake 80R mower 6 plows and alot more |

Make sure it has the Series II engine. The Series I Kohler KT twins had lubrication problems. If it has a rear lift kit that is worth some $$$. Does it have hydro-lift or manual? If the blower is an easy fits thats another $100-$250 of value. In tip-top shape a 917 with blower and 48" deck could bring close to $700-$1000. An average good runner w/deck is probably $400-$700 depending on the location and timing. ------------- 10 various B-series garden tractors, AC Homesteader8, 416 hydro,710 gt, 914, 916H, 917H, 920D, and many misc attachments |

"carburetor rebuild" could be masking bad engine problems. Maybe carb is ok and it is really an engine problem. ------------- CA, WD, C, 3 Bs, 2 Gs, WC, I-400, 914 |

My 917 dont idle correctly,---(has an 18 hp in it--the guy tossed in the old 17hp, so I still have the little engine)---he thought it was carb problem,--I think its more governor related myself!---will find out this spring when I can get out there to work on things! thanks; ac fleet |
