The other day I picked up a pulling tractor or 2 and a parts Wheelhorse. Lol gtta love those package deals. I haven't yet decided what to do what the puller, I really needed an engine for my cub and lucked up on a deal. I am going to restore/restomod the rusty one for sure. I have a 7hp predator In my shop needing a home and I've really contemplated doing a narrow front conversion. I'm sure I'll have some questions in the process

Hi Everyone. New guy here and just picked up a lil RJ58. I currently also have a 875 which has been in my family since new. Being from WI I tend to use the ole girl year round so I wouldn't say my stuff are show machines by any means. My brother has had a few other RJs, Burbans, and 8 series tractors years ago but I never really looked over the RJ's that closely. My deck on the rj needs to be redone yet but its mowing, I just need to get the kinks worked out. Now comes a bunch of questions as my 875 has always been my main go to tractor: -Has anyone even put a snow blower onto a RJ from a suburban? -With the lighter weight of the tractor how good are these guys for snow plowing? -anyone have a K90 heat shield, belt guard, toolbox or fenders?

So this is my first post and I wanted to introduce myself and thank everyone here! I've been cruising the site for awhile researching what I could about the Wheel Horse 314-8 before making a decision to purchase one from a local dealer. Totally excellent site and a great help in my decision! I've never owned a Wheel Horse before but have had an early 90's MTD 12.5/38 LT and a much older small LT that I can't remember the manufacturer for. I have a long, steep driveway that I need to keep clear of snow (my elderly mother lives with me) and I really didn't want to go for an expensive new LT with a snow blower as there was no way it would hold up to the strain and I couldn't swing the price of a new GT setup. Then I saw this package at the local dealer but wasn't sure. It's a 1998 Wheel Horse 314-8 with 149 hours on it and includes the 42" deck, vacuum bagger, 42" snow blower, and the snow cab. Everything was in excellent condition - no rust, rot, or cracks! I had no experience with Wheel Horse and wasn't sure of their reputation. Boy am I glad I found your site! After reading a bunch of posts here about Wheel Horse and in particular the 314-8, I was VERY confident in my decision to buy it. It's being fully serviced right now (included in the price - sweet!) so I'm still waiting for delivery but here are some pictures of it (sorry, some of these are blurry - I'll post better pics when I get it home). I can't wait to get it home and put it through it's paces with some leaf pickup in prep for the inevitable snow!
