The Tuul Crib 7,332 #1 Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Hello y'all I just purchased my last mower! Found this 414-8 on craigslist and she is a beaut! All I had to do was free up the choke cable and clean the carb and ready mow! This machine has been taken very good care of . I am looking for other attachments for my tractor specifically a snow blade . Edited April 15, 2018 by The Tool Crib 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yepp.... He's right. Horses are well known to be a "heard animal". You should probably clear a little more space. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,157 #20 Posted April 16, 2018 Yours is the one to have in the 400 series. I sure wish mine had that engine instead of the higher horsepower one.. One little maintenance item often overlooked is to apply some lubrication to the shaft holding the transmission idler pulley. IF the plastic flange bushing wears through, it is metal to metal contact and it wallows out an oblong hole in the sheet metal transmission tunnel.--- all goes downhill from there. Motorcycle chain lube or plumbers grease would work fine. There is also a current thread on here about maintaining the underside of the mower deck. Good stuff to know. Having a survivor like yours is sort of like finding a '57 chevy that has sat for years in a heated wharehouse 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posifour11 723 #23 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Will. Not. Be. The. Last. How big is your garage? Edited to add: I started with a simple C-125 to work on ( because the wife wouldn't let me buy the really ugly 70's Toyota pickup) to get me back to earth when I got home from Iraq. I think I'm in the upper teens between workers and parts tractors. WHA is real and it's probably the best addiction you can have.
