WHwest8597 85 #1 Posted June 10, 2021 Looking for a frame reinforcement plate for a 314-8 or the dimensions to make one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,659 #2 Posted June 10, 2021 I didn't put a full plate on mine but I could draw one up if no one can come up with one. I'll have to check a few dimations to add to the one I have. I used two 1/4" x 1 1/2" top and bottom as my transmission plate was not broken. I'll have to take a picture of the drawing and post it here I have around 95% of what's needed on my drawing for a full plate. Here is a picture of my tractor. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,659 #6 Posted June 11, 2021 You can use what ever thickness you like. !/4" or 5/16" is all you need. There are ridges on the 314 plate. I would place two 1/8" flat steel behind the plate at the mounting holes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,045 #7 Posted June 11, 2021 Will guess the 13/16" holes should be 13/32" holes. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxwell-8 4,275 #9 Posted June 11, 2021 When should you make a reinforcement plate? Does the trans support bend/break? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelhorseBob 1,549 #10 Posted June 11, 2021 I asked this question a while back and got a bunch of great responses. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,627 #11 Posted June 11, 2021 @Lee1977,agree with you on those reinforcements , especially if you regularly are pushing / pulling or maxing out your horse. like the FEL SETUP . also a regular look see on your chassis , for " working rusty areas " are a sign of twisting / bending . stay after it . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can crack around the transmission bolts when using ground engaging implements. Hitting things that don't move is my guess. Some have cracked completely if not found and fixed. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
