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?

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
