How many 8 speed 400 series tractors did they make? I have a 414-8, 416-8, and most of a 417-8. I think its my god given duty to get a complete set. So what other models are out there?

That is what I thought I have never seen a 418 or 420 8 speed. Was there ever a 412?

Recently there was a 418-8 for sale on CL.  Cant remember if it was in NY or Mass. Anyway I am pretty sure there is that model and wouldnt mind having one myself.

I have a 420-8. It started as a 416-8 but I had it repowered with a very new 20 horse Onan. I know it doesn't count but just thought that I would throw it out there. Been thinking of have decals made for it.

Factory 418-8 was one of the best and smoothest running WH tractors I ever owned it had electric lift. Here we go......wish I would have never sold it!

My 400 series 8 speeds are a 414-8 Magnum powered and a 416-8 K powered.

Excuse the 416-8 pic. Thats the day I brought it home after it sat in a barn for five years. It looks alot better now than what you see in the pic.

now I have more questions- I know the A is auto and the H is hydro... But what is a C or a LSE? What is the difference between a hydro and an auto?

LSE was the limited edition Wheel Horse Made in 1987 with all kinds of chrome. It was a 20hp Kohler magnum that was a hydro. Only made 200 and are highly desirable.

 

The C stood for commercial. The 418-A vs the 418-C...the C had upgrades of HD front spindles, better seat, and HD 48" mower deck.

I think I recently saw a 418-8, maybe still there, for sale in Cincinnati.

If its a good one you should go for it. They are hard to come by in any shape. I believe the 418's have the Magnum twin, upgraded fron the old points and condenser sparked KT-17.
