Real nice Rick.

Now does the Stihl stay in the Attach-a-Matic brackets even on bumpy ground . Never seen a front mounted weed wacker before.

Shoot...I bet Rick has the trot-line-tach-a-matic with automatic take-up and re-bait options being he is at the lake. :notworthy:

Rick and I live on 2 lakes end to end, Lake of The Ozarks an Truman Lake. We have 111,000 acres of water in the 2 lakes to fish an boat in.

The Lake of The Ozarks we live on has 1,150 miles of shoreline.....

Crappie, catfish, spoonbill, an bass are the main fish in these 2 lakes

Thats is so much like my 416h. Those floor mats Rubber things wear feet goe. i have not seen them on many models. I wonder why yours dosent have the pto guard or the Crome exaust guard

[Vinylguy 4,674]

If someone in the Forum

can send me a good close up with acurate measurements I will try to replicate it as close to OEM as possible.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas

My dad bought a 50th 314-8 in 1996 to replace a 1985 312-8. This past fall I bought myself a 50th 314-8.
