Son delivered a free Horse, 414-8. I liked the color of the delivery truck too.  :ROTF:

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". :ROTF:

 

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? :huh: Robbed again! :-(

 

I have to go, blow my nose and wipe away the tears. Why do I put up with this poop?

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!

Not a thing wrong with the Kohler Magnum now that the oil spray has stopped. :handgestures-thumbupright:

 

Love all the Horses. My 1st Horse, 40+ years ago. :icecream:
