RuedaDelCaballo 5 #1 Posted September 4 Hi All, I just bought a used ToroWheelhorse 314 Hydro! I know very little about it but I heard its a tough beast. It came with a snowblower which is great as I am in Canada. I am attaching pics of serial numbers for tractor and deck. I just signed up to this forum and am reading up. Sorry if these are dumb questions or the info is available somewhere else on here. I am wondering: -what year is this rig? -the main deck pulley is toasted...What is the part # and where can I buy one in Canada? -I just got this thing...What should I look for or do maintenance wise? Thanks! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RuedaDelCaballo 5 #2 Posted September 4 i looked at Sparkys (Admin) list of model #s....Im thinking its a 1997... my rig has 73403 as a model # and 7900891 as the serial #.. My mower deck is model # 78355 and serial #6900645 and the main pulley is disintegrating.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parsonsponyz 112 #5 Posted September 4 Welcome, glad to have you aboard. Looks like you picked up a nice tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 6,998 #6 Posted September 5 to the forum. You picked up a good tractor. I've got 14 horse 8 speed from 1973 - a previous version of your 314. It has done everything I have asked it to do. I'm sure that you will find the same. The folks here on the forum are a good bunch of people. I think that between us all, we have managed to break and repair just about everything on a Wheel Horse that can be broken and repaired. Plenty of advice is freely available here. As far as questions go, ask away. The only dumb question is the one that you don't ask. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnmor 7,305 #10 Posted September 5 Just reverse the first two digits of the serial number to get the year. That big snowblower will take all of your 14 ponies, take it easy. Follow the Owners Manual for maintenance, do complete fluid changes and lubrication right away. To get better response in the future (although you did OK this time), it is better to keep each issue in a separate topic, so we don't get sidetracked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
