Tankman 3,520 #5 Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) The '88 414-8 was all black under the hood, PO thought "blown engine". After power washing, checked the oil. Dipstick was loose. One bolt missing, two bolts loose. Three new bolts and a new gasket. Oil change. Fixed the "blown engine". The Horse was company owned, they purchased a new "mower". Horse was in their warehouse for a number of years. "You want this Wheel Horse? You know it has a blown engine." Reluctantly I accepted the Horse even though it only had a 42" SD deck. Free delivery, otherwise I would have turned down the 14 hp Kohler Magnum. I had to tow the Horse a hundred yards to my barn! Towed the 414-8 with another Horse. The tow Horse runs great! Really got robbed the snow plow had a bent blade! More work for me and the grandsons. Nobody in their right mind would've taken a chance. I think? Ya agree? Robbed again! I have to go, blow my nose and wipe away the tears. Why do I put up with this poop? Edited September 20, 2018 by Tankman 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyK149 62 #6 Posted September 19, 2018 Good for you! What's wrong with the K Magnum 414? 414 seems like one of the better models that was made to me? Enjoy the new tractor! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enjoy the new tractor! Not a thing wrong with the Kohler Magnum now that the oil spray has stopped. Love all the Horses. My 1st Horse, 40+ years ago.
