Ok but you will need to select an appropriate fuse from the list below

I recently bought one of these McDonough go karts , I understand these are used by Shriners in the US fo parades , these are extremely rare here in UK .

Sorry haven't been on much guys, we've been working on restoring Horses night and day trying to keep up with demand. Will try to get a few pics of them on here somewhere. It's a great job to have though! Thought I would put up a pic of the new help...

This particular tractor was purchased "just to get me through winter plowing" while I located a new engine for my 520H. I don't know who had it before WHfan74 but Scott cut me a deal and Tom hauled it my way on one of his trips through Indiana. It ran so nice and I found it a very capable machine the more I worked it. Most of you are collectors and I've had my fair share of them over the years but this one really surprised me. I put a 48" deck under it and it cut my lawn with 1/2 the fuel my 520H. Even if the lawn got away from me in the spring it still did a decent job in tall grass situations. I have bad shoulders so I converted the front end to the forward swept axle and gear reduction steering. I put the 8.5" 520H rear rims on it to match. Being a huge fan of the hydro I didn't like the ground speed so after some reading I purchased a 5.5" hydro engine pulley from Kelly. 2nd gear hi and 80% throttle works perfect and I saved additional fuel and got the job done 15 minutes sooner. My ***ONLY*** dislike it reverse is to fast and you really have to watch it. I just plowed some with it today and took a few pictures of it. The charging system works perfectly. This is now my favorite Wheelhorse I've owned since I've started.

Doc, I hear ya. Years ago, we did a focus group session for design of a user interface / touch panel for medical equipment. We assembled several "thought leaders" from major hospitals across the country, placed them together in a room, asked very specific questions about push button locations , icon look, coloration and wording on the screens. We even video taped the session so to avoid any issues with "no, that's not what I said." We gained group consensus on all the above items before proceeding. A working software model of the interface was created within 15 minutes after the users approved of all the items and the "perfect interface" was presented to the user group within a half hour after they approved it. NOT ONE OF THEM LIKED IT ! AT ALL!

That one is my fav also Zieg. The 14 Magnum is not to be under estimated. Mine will be 28 in April and has been in the family since new. I never had anything it wouldn't do and the fuel consumption is pretty beyond belief. That is one you should keep for sure! Here is mine, original paint too. We did upgrade the factory rear tires a few months ago -

I took several piles of parts from donor tractors and built this from scratch. It's not a 1045, but it is proof that if you can dream it, you can build it.

I have a 4-14 for snow duty also. This was a picture from last year when we actually had snow to plow. She is patiently waiting. This one is an all original survivor that is great all around condition.

Very nice!!! I had a 520h w 110 hours. Needed a little work so I swapped my friend for his 314h w 175 hrs. Never looked back!

The 414-8 with the Kohler Magnum. Great machine! Hey, it's red isn't it! Sorry Mr. Greene!

Kinda like this

I never realized what a sweet machine the 414 was. Great pictures and comments guys. Glenn

This cultivator came with my 867. PO said he knew nothing about it. It doesn't look like it will mount to the rear sleeve hitch. Is it missing something? Does it fit under the tractor? Does it not go with my 867? Is it not Wheel Horse? What is it? Thanks for your help.

Mounts under tractor pivot off of mid quick hitch. Missing the lift link.

Chuck, this is great!!! I was in sales and I can't tell you how many of these solutions I sold thru the years. Just about every one of my accounts had to own one. The problems and upgraded features were always fixed in the next software release too!!!

Nice Job! My 414-8

Just as the title reads i was thinking.... (what in its self is dangerous) but it still is a little chilly to go in the garage and start the real work i have a 654 that is getting a complete redo and a 604 with no spark and needing some tlc so i do have a little work ahead of me so why not even f dream of more.. so here it is i am laying it all on the table i am dreaming of taking some parts and building myself a tractor do you guys think this would work? first think of finding a fairly nice donor frame with a cool hood it has neat lines then add a set of these what you think looking good with the parts now a little some of this stuff is there any way that i could end up with this not really sure what the first one is but i really like the 1045 and as the saying goes "if you cant find one build one."

Port side? What a Swabbie!

Looking to get a new wheel horse and love my 416 I have now and am looking at 414s and was wondering how they are and how they preform Thanks

Colder than Jerry Jones' party bus on it's way home from Wisc!

Thanks Craig, now she wants a raise.

What... did Mrs Geno get a promotion?

It's not one of the common walk-behind blades. Having provision for 5-sector angling looks more late '60s or later. The single mounting hole makes it almost appear to have more of a frame behind it for a ride-on tractor. With out a trip mechanism though, it could be a walk-behind after all.

Hoping to fire mine this afternoon if I can get off the darn forum

I sold one kinda like that not to long ago for 50$

Coool...a one HP power sweeper.

I'm sure the Bee Hind expert will help out....Where you at John?

There's one for sale on ebay now

I really got a great deal on mine even though it needs some work. About 6 months ago my buddy was hurting for money and sold me a brand new in the box Tig welder for $600. I did an even swap, the welder for the D-250 with the 60" deck, Dozer blade, 3 point hitch, pretty new AG tires, and a tiller. It was well worth the 5 hour trip each way to Tennessee.

geometry ... ignore it ! a line and a cat ... these are two different things Enjoy, and welcome to my world.

So other than that one is just as heavy duty as the other... Interesting.

All 414's are 8 speeds. Thad (Ohio)

But of course. They're loaded with Grey Poupon.

Mine used to have a manual lift, but the Butler strained his left arm to the point that he couldn't shake my martini. I had no option but to upgrade to the Rolls hydro.

At least it's not JD green

That is a Montgomery Wards unit and later than this 1953-55 unit. I recognize the 87-7461 type of catalog number but can't find it or the application. Garry

Did I actually say 1000 amp ? I might need a herd of 520's to turn that.

A lot of memories indeed, Spent a lot of time on my G/Fathers farm. Started with an International F-20 and a Farmall H. then an M followed by a Super M. Had a mounted 2 row corn picker for the F-20, What a piece of machinery, You were surrounded by it, with the shuckin' rollers on ether side of you and the lift elevator behind, dropping the ear corn in a wagon. What a noisy, dangerous, beast! A lot of farmers lost fingers, hands, and arms in those things.That was back in the day when you didn't pick a 1000 acres of corn in a couple of weeks. Spent quite a few hours on that monster with snow hitting me in the back. Not quite like today's heated, air conditioned cabs. But ya know what - WOULDN'T TRADE A MIN' OF IT FOR ANY THING! (Except maybe a new Wheel Horse, of course)

Hits the nail on the head.

Just like being at work. Thanks for sharing. I unfortunately can relate.

"Expert"...Once was a small drip under pressure

You may be closer than you think. When you bring it home check for chrome under the paint on the rear wheels. Some "C's" had "LSE" rear wheels. Steve

I'll ask this a third time and I'll keep it short and sweet so as not to distract. If you remove the F field wire from the SG, does the 20 volts drop to near zero volts ? It's OK to reply "I don't know which wire is the field wire".

Bad (high) readings are possible with aging meter batteries but the believable 12.6 volts measured at the battery suggests the meter battery is OK. Most digital meters have some sort of low battery warning on the display. You can measure the battery in your car to check if the meter is correct.

or the much more rare "perpetual motion" magnetic powered model 100M.

Cst, this is the gear welded to my tranny. I believe it was done by the Ponds during original assembly. IMO, it looks like Brians may have been disassembled at some time to replace the bearing ??? then re-welded. again, only my opinion.

its easy for people to sit online and say things that they wouldnt say or do if you were in front of them.Thats a fact of life and pretty sad fact.

John the video shows the lift flag mounted at 5:18 and on the floor at 8:00. How close are the poles you have tried to use? Seems like some trial and error would get you a dimension you could work with. Or you could just drop by and we could get one made.

Today I got the lights installed and the last thing to do was install the spec. plate for the engine. My old one was in sad shape so I bought a decal from Terry and had a new plate cut from aluminum. Turned out pretty good. Nice job, Terry! Some day I'll paint the letters on the front of the hood but for now, I'm done. One last shot, this one's for you, Bob.

Oldandred (Jerry) has a one armed loader on one of his 'horses that he likes. Of course he also has a yellow 'Horse with spots..... Maybe he can give you some insight on it.(The loader not the 'Horse) :USA:
