Monty72 8 #1 Posted June 5, 2016 I'm starting on restoring a Gt-14 that has been sitting in pieces in my father in laws barn for 20 years. He blew the engine and parked it. I plan on doing a complete teardown to bare metal. Where can I find parts diagrams for the mower. I have found them for the engine and transmission just no luck on actual mower. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,057 #2 Posted June 5, 2016 there have been a couple pf great threads on here by @Aldon giving detaile information on GT=14 restoration/revitalizatioin. Here is a manual for you. 1-7441.pdf 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldon 4,827 #3 Posted June 5, 2016 I suggest lots of pics on how everything is situated in the center tunnel area. The blow up parts diagram in manual is helpful but pics help a lot to clear things up. I'll be watching for your updates and there is tons of knowledge from the members on this site. Hit a roadblock, then post a question. Most of time you get detailed help in a reasonable timeframe. Parts can be challenging to locate. Use the wanted section in the classifieds and EBay for sourcing needs. GT14's are awesome beasts! Enjoy the journey! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty72 8 #4 Posted June 5, 2016 I'm taking plenty of pics, however my father in law already had front end in pieces. I'll need plenty of advice because I have all the implements to restore also. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #5 Posted June 5, 2016 @Monty72 There are plenty of manuals and other folks that will help out here on Red Square. We are in the process of redoing a GILSON. We used a lot of small zip lock bags for small parts and wrote on the bags what they were for, as well as taking a lot of photos. I can't stress enough to take MANY, MANY photos from different angles and mark the bags really well! (ask me how I know?) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ztnoo 2,298 #6 Posted June 5, 2016 There's a ton of wisdom here at RS. Somewhat less so for your model, but since I've owned a GT 14 for 35 years, and I still mow with it (my only tractor), I'll try to be as helpful as I can be for someone who has never torn one down to restore. Collectively here at RS, most problems and questions can be resolved, or a work around invented. Steve 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty72 8 #7 Posted June 17, 2016 OK, I've got everything torn down and ready to start prepping for paint. Does anyone have tricks or tips on cleaning the tins and frame for primer? Wire wheel? Sanding? Sand Blasting? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldon 4,827 #8 Posted June 17, 2016 Spend some time reading over other restorations as all 3 methods are used to varying degrees of success. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,739 #9 Posted August 19, 2016 Monty--have you had any success with your GT14 project? I know all of us go through periods where we can't work on our tractors like we'd like to. However, just checking with interest to see if you've had any luck with the paint process? I'll be watching this thread with interest... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should own one of course and if you do, it's mandatory you post some pics!! Just right click on the logo and save it, then go to your preferences and put it in your signature or info, forget what its called here. Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
