Dakota8338 115 #1 Posted September 25, 2017 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB ELLISON 2,976 #7 Posted September 26, 2017 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
