Added a new (to me) Horse to the Stable

Recommended Posts

I discovered a 314/8 Wheel Horse advertised for sale recently.  After a couple of days testing back & forth, I went and picked it up close to noon and returned with it a little while ago.  Don't know the year of manufacture, but it is a Model 73402, Serial # 6901218.  It came with a 42 inch Side Discharge Mower, Model # 78345 (same as my 312/8's mower), with a serial # 5902910 (an increase of 273, from the 312/8's mowers serial number).  The 312/8 is a 1995 model, so I am guessing this one is a 1995 or 1996 model itself.  It shows 492.6 hours, and if unaltered, the engine is barely broken in at this point in time.  That's less than 25 hours a year, hardly believable, if I am guessing anywhere near correct on the year of production.

I'll have to try and see how the photo process works.

Anniversary models are the feature tractor at the 2018 Big Show.    :handgestures-thumbupright:

I have a 314-8 and it is the 2nd best tractor I have. My C160 is my best tractor over all my tractors. Don't get me wrong I think my 314 is a great tractor it has lots of power to do anything I need.

But it's not an anniversary model I wish it was. Congratulations of your find.
