    Inherited a Gt-1800 that sat for 8 years. Replaced battery, cables and fuel filter and it started up on 8 year old fuel in the tank. I replaced the blades and it runs and mows like a champ. Im hooked now. I caught the wheelhorse bug. Just a few small patch jobs on the deck to finish up

    For themselves, they sit stuff off to the side all the time... to make it happen, you just need to sweet talk($) the forklift operator there.

    Sent the engine to the machine shop and had some free time. Started on the hood and running boards.. Took then down to bare metal, self etching primer and Regal Red. They were looking real good and then I was looking at the panel on the right side that hides the belt (aaarggg) Took it back down and put a skim coat of some 3M body putty and repainted Looks real good now Started on the seat pan.

    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?

    Same here Jeff but I don't imagine they get too much for it do they? Another reason ours doesn't allow it. That was plan Craig ... accidentally drop a Grant or 2 by the gate Nazi. If that didn't work head off the scrap driver and see what he likes to drink... That is the kick in the groin... Thanks for the pics fellas ...feeling better already

    Or trade real scrap for it... what a bummer. If they want to generate real revenue they should have auto mailers that go out to the Garden Tractor Mafia @Achto, @PeacemakerJack, @WHX20 And @Coulter Caleb that they’re holding a GT yard sale on the first Saturday of every month! Maybe you need to apply in person by bringing your own sample to “dismantle” like a time trial for first bidding rights?

    Well we don't have that kinda wind here. Of course if @stevasaurus is here for plow day, gets into @Achto 's ranchero enchiladas and starts passing wind. Then it's every man for himself!

    Try Isavetractors ( I think that is the name they have head gaskets for your engine. I have 310-8 runs great too many safety switches for my liking but I am an ole goat.

    If that carb. was cleaned properly the red paint would be at the bottom of the bucket of cleaning solvent.

    Here's another one I'm saving from turning into a toaster or a microwave oven.The guy said if I didn't get this by this weekend he would scrap it! Mostly good for parts . Believe it or not it has 800 hours on it. Hopefully the motor and trans are not toast!

    @WVHillbilly520H thanks for the heads up on them. I have heard good about them, so I figured I would try a set.

    Father in Heaven, you are the giver of life and the great physician. You know our needs and wants. Please heal John. We know that his brain has been damaged by stroke, we know that without your hand on him that he will never be the same. At the same time we also know that you can make him whole again, you can repair damaged brain tissue, you can enable him to continue to serve you on this Earth. Lord, hear my petition. Be with his wife and family as they experience this storm in their lives. I don’t always understand your plan for us, but I do trust that you work all things for the good. I only ask that it be your will to bring Glen back to us. I ask these things in the name of your Son and my Savior, Jesus Christ. All glory and honor belongs to you. Amen.

    I used it a lot years ago with good results but lately it hasn’t impressed me at all. Seafoam must have changed there formula because it was lite green years ago and now it is clear (there’s actually a paint code called seafoam green) So again I’m not impressed with it lately.

    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!

    I told him to go change them .... he did...he changed them inside out....good to go... Seriously Daron my rookie year I took the whole week off and to appease the Mrs made a little vacation out of it. Might not be for you since you live in PA but there are quite a few things to see and do in the area. The food right at the show isn't absolutely terrible either. They have a church group that runs a food stand and their suppers are quite edible. I took my pellet grille since we were camping but really no need to use it at the show. You can always invite yourself over to @wheelhorseman's camp he always has good chow! You'll' want to get there early Thursday as that's kinda the best day. Be warned tho Saturday noon the place pretty much clears out in a hurry. Browse here http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/163-whcc-club-shows/ for many more pics and you'll get an idea of the camaraderie that goes on ther.

    I was shocked when it fired up on that old gas. I was just checking to make sure it turned over good after I replaced batter and cables and I forgot left the fuel turned on and I was like holly crap I love these machines. I will replace the fuel lines and take tank out to give it a good cleaning this winter.

    And some are destined to serve others. This one just donated it's lift arm for a plow on the sk486 I'm refreshing for my neice. She's on a limited budget, lives a little north of me and is in the snow belt. Her 8 hp 26 wide big box store walker just doesn't cut it (clear it ). She's getting this for 1/2 of what I paid for it and at my cost for parts. Why, its family and because I love what I do. She picked the colour, so long as it was red. Not a resoration, but strong, stout and proud again thanks to some othe horses. Gonna buy and donate a full decal set to the cause as well. Good for another 30 years I'd say.

    Rear wheels are now mounted. All that is left is the rear fender painting and taillights, then install a new seat lift support and this machine is done. Cleat
