Hi, Bjohnson.
The 17A tractor serial # rings true but that 34B569 engine serial # does not compute. If it is the original engine, the engine serial # should match the tractor #. If it is a replacement engine, I would expect it to still be a 17A prefix or one of the various power plant serial prefixes.
The engine serial # should be on a small aluminum plate rivetted to the side of the block just above the starter motor. If this plate is missing, the # may be stamped into the block in the same location.

They are pretty tough tractors to kill.

Hope this helps but where are the photos?
