[QUOTE="frank b, post: 26347, member: 2812"] Hello all! I bought my John Deere 170 a few months ago for $1000. Not running, sitting in the weeds for a few years. Since then I've rewired it, installed a new solenoid, new coil, rebuilt the carb, new fuel lines and filter, new fuel pump, changed the oil and filter, new battery, new ignition switch, and choke cable. The previous owner removed the original flathead Wisconsin because it knocked, and replaced it with the v465 OHV engine. So I really don't have much room to work on it. I got it running and it sounds good! Smokes a little at first but stops once it's warmed up. I need to get the brakes working, and I'm sure I'll need to replace everything. Does anyone know of a source for parrts? Every time I look up parts on JDparts, they say they are no longer availabe..... I also have a leak on both lift cylindes, the seals on the front or top are the ones leaking, are these still available? I read in one of the other post that the Mustang 1700 is the same machine, I'll try to look up that. [/QUOTE]
