Does not have a set of points, so that would be breakerless correct?

Yes and they are easily fried or just fail.  Look at the Kohler manual there are specific tests for breakerless.

More then likely fried. Can't get replacements anymore either correct?

You can get used parts from ebay but if thy work they are pricey.  Not too hard/expensive to convert to coil and points system....

More then likely it seems like I'll have to convert it. Get plunger, set of points, condenser, coil, and new ignition switch. Currently the ignition is only a 4 post as well

You should test the trigger and the coil...One or the other may still be OK.  if so selling it can help with your conversion cost.

If you do not want to test the coil and trigger would you sell them???

Looking to see who else has done conversion and if I need to replace stator as well

You can use the stator on there. Just have to isolate or remove wire going to breakerless ignition. My 69 Raider 12 since the early 80's.

Check out this thread by @Aldon. Also, Brian Miller's web site has good information you can use.

Years back I purchased several nos triggers. I keep them only for the purest who wants a 100% original engine. All others I convert to the point system. Very reliable. Not that the triggers were bad. They weren’t. Just a high dollar part now.  Miller is a talented guy with good parts. If you don’t convert to points I would recommend you talk to him.

I have as complete breaker-less ignition set-up I removed from a 12 horse, didn't test anything, just replaced stator, flywheel, coil, & exciter. Do not know condition, I wanted 15 amp system, so I changed everything but blower shroud & spec number.    Ron

Okay so my thought is to leave that stator. Run those 2 wires from stator to rectifier, rewire machine to run points, condenser and coil. Just remove the coil and magneto from behind flywheel as well. Just need to remove the plug, install parts, gap points, rewire and done

      I have a old gt14 and the plastic plates or control panels are way past their prime, and I saw someone was remarking them with a 3d printer a little while back and I was looking to se if I could find the file but no luck. If anybody has info that would be amazing. Thanks for your time and anything helps.

      I am currently doing a ring, piston, hone rebuild on a K 321 off a Ford LGT 145 Tractor  on this machine they actually welded the rails to the bottom pan (see pics). My intention here is to put this puppy in a red machine (312-8 or GT14). I definitely have the small pan with the expanded bottom for the long dipper.
      Here's my questions:
      > Can I carefully remove the rails from the pan, cutoff the old front axle mounting bracket(s) and then drill holes in  the flanges to mount  to the Wheel Horse rails.
      > Since the engine is side mounted will the expanded bottom fit between the standard Wheel Horse rails?
      > If not possible to make this old pan work what flat pan would work and do I need to get the expanded bottom one (big dipper}
      > any recommendations here would be appreciated don't want to go down to many blind holes here...….
       
      Thanks much!

      Saw a gt14 for a really good price on Craigslist yesterday went and looked at it last evening, ended up buying it . It’s a 68 or 69 gt14 but I’m not exactly sure which. It’s in decent condition and seems to be complete. It has a really nice complete three point hitch and a really nice three point tiller. I didn’t think the seat and muffler were original but I looked at a manual and it turns out they are. I’m gonna try to get it running for the big show but if I don’t I will still take it. The best part is I bought it from a super nice guy that knows a lot about wheel horses. Some of you might know him, his name is Less, sorry didn’t catch his last name. He has been going to the wheel horse show since the beginning and personally knew Cecil and Betty Pond. He used to have 74 tractors but he narrowed it down to his favorite three. Overall it was a really good day. I got to meet a really nice guy, get another tractor and hear some good stories. Here are a few pictures of the gt14 and tiller. I am gonna start working on it this Sunday. 
      Tractor or serial number

      looking for info/help re securing a front wheel bearing/race for  GT14/ 1971;  any info would be much appreciated..

      Sooo about three months ago I had a friend of a friend pass to me the most needy Wheel Horse GT14 Tractor I had ever seen, it was completely taken apart every single part had rust and two coats on oil paint one blue and one yellow. parts were missing and of course there was no labeling of parts or assembly there-of. All wiring, gauges, rectifiers were removed and non existent….. still the machine was calling to me to try and do the almost impossible...… My thanks to Aldon for parts and support and Kyle for Technical help and shoulder to cry on. ….  The only saving grace of the entire project is that the engine and tranny were indeed still good...… in fact the only remaining issue I have on the machine is that I cannot free-up the relief valve so that I can move the machine w/o power..... I think this might be stuck forever … but not the end of the world.
