I think we've had it for about 17-18 years now, was repainted before we bought it. It originally had a black loader on it, don't know what brand it was but it wasn't a very good one. It had to be welded up and fixed several times before we just gave up on it and removed it.
That is when we bought the 1755, because it had a loader mounted on it. That one turned into a bit of a lemon, as we had it in the shop many times for the few years we used it. After the engine gave up, we had the loader frame removed from the 17 and made to fit the 165. It was too small for the 1755 anyway, and it's a good fit on the 165. Just mounted kinda low so it doesn't lift as high as we'd like at times.
If we would get the 1755 going again, and to a point where it's dependable, we'd probably get rid of the 165 as it's in really rough shape mechanically. The Multi-power is shot, the clutch could stand to be replaced, the engine needs an overhaul, the front axel needs to be removed and fixed up,the brakes are functional but weak, and the 3 pt. cylinder needs to be fixed up.
