Bill,
Hard to believe that no one has answered your question yet. All Yanmars with four wheel drive are "D" models. The 1700B has improved instrumentation ( dashbouard gauges ), extra fender coverage, larger operator platform ( extra footroom ), maybe a factory waterpump, inproved fusebox, etc. I have never seen a 1700BD but I have seen 2000BD's. No reason for there not to be any, consider yourself lucky if you have one. I have a 2000B and wouldn't part with it for love or money.

todd,
You really should try the other board mentioned above. You can't post their name here. Just go to the Yanmar board and key 1700 into the search box at the bottom of the page. Several regular poster have 1700's. Also, some of the regulars here use that board as well and can give you good advice on Yanmars. Yanmar did make lots of JD's but they are not ncessarily interchangeable and your local JD store will probably treat you like a step child if you tell them you have a gray market Yanmar.

Your 1700 is very close to my 2000B and some spec's are as follows: Normal working speed is 1800 to 2400 RPM. PTO in lowest gear at 2200 engine RPM is 540 PTO RPM which is what you want to mow with. If you don't already have an overrun clutch for the PTO, get one before you use the brush hog.
Oil change every 100 hours or annualy.
Mine has full gauges so I don't know about the lights, but manual shows left light is Temp, middle is Charge, and right is Oil Pressure.

Much more info already posted if you do a search.
