Another Horse for the Stable

Recommended Posts

i bought my first and only new wheel horse in the fall of 99, a 314-8 with a 42" rear discharge deck. i worked it for a number of years and racked up a little over 300 hrs on it before i retired it several years ago now. i used it year around to mow, plow snow,rototill. not sure if i ever had a blower on it or not but i don't think so, always had another tractor for the blower.  the 314 sipped gas and always had enough power for all the jobs i through at it. before i retired it i had upgraded to a 48" deck. 

looks like you got a real nice one there and with only 215 hrs you should get a lot more years of service out of it and it will use a lot less gas then the sk482 so good luck with your new horse

DougC,

I asked the same question, two issues, mower wasn't big enough for his property and he didn' t like the way the 42" RD mowed.

I'll take a chance on that :-)

      Just wanted to show a modification I did to my 1990 310-8. I recently picked up a 36” tiller for my horse and I tried it out on my new garden area. After hitting a rock, it knocked one of the axle brackets open dropping the right side of the tiller. On a manual I viewed, it had clevis pins to hold the lever in, but my bracket did not have them. I drilled a 1/4” hole through on each lever and mounted a 1/4” clevis pin and hairpin cotter to reinforce the lever. I read on another post to just tighten the bolts on the levers, but I think this will work a little better. Hope this helps someone!

      I bought a 1999 312-8 for my Dad. He put a new battery in about a month ago. The battery has went dead twice since.  He has only started the tractor  3-4 times during this period. I'm looking for some suggestions  as where to start looking  for the battery draining  culprit.

      Will a 36" side discharge deck off a C-121 fit the 300 series tractors?

      Greetings from VA
           The 300 series are very popular for many reasons.Out of curiosity when did WH switch from the 1" axle to the 1 1/8" axle  on the 300 series? Rexemouse has said that his dumpster find 300  had 1 1/8" axles..I like the idea of the beefier transaxle but the 300 series seems tobe easier to come by than the 400 series I would like to know which years have the heavier axles.Thanks in advance.JAinVA

      Can someone do a quick measurement for me? I need measurements of the front hub dust covers/grease cups used on most of the Wheelhorse Tractors. (300, 400 500 & C-Series)

      I don't have one on my bench anymore and the one I wanted to measure on my C-175 won't budge and I don't want to ruin it just to measure. I have none on four of my machines and I'm tired of the crap they pick up.
       
      I need the Inside Diameter
      The Outside Diameter
      The Depth or length

      Didn't see anything on the dimensions while searching the site.

      Thanks in Advance!
