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

Out of my garage and into a work space where I don't park cars. It's got heat and air plus lots of light and lots of electrical outlets. Still needs paint, landscaping, entrance ramp and a whole lot inside.Here's a few photos.

But if i make it go fast....... they wont have time to look and see......

Now that is one fine horse stable that Geno has there. That 417A look like it just come out of the shipping crate from Wheel Horse.

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.

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

The prices have definetly gone up. When I first started buying these tractors I could!d get a real clean original RJ58 for like $200. Now around here there aren't many to be found and if you do, $200 will barely get you a rust bucket. Like anything else, priorities change. I don't have the time I did 5 years ago when the kids were younger. Also we used to have great meet & greets that don't really happen anymore. So I guess my enthusiam/drive isn't as great as it used to be. Moneys not really a problem because my only costs were generally hardware, parts and paint. I think I only had like $1200 total into this C-200 build. Were else could you buy a like new loader tractor for that price!

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

Well, it's been cold so I didn't wander to the garage very fast but I finally got some pictures. Snapped a couple of pictures of the snow removal team for this year. The C195 and the 520xi will take care of that this year. I'm waiting for some more snow to fall as what we got the other day was heavy and wet, it doesn't throw very well. I am definitely going to need chains and weights which I Now have taken care off. Thanks to baerpath who picked a couple sets of case weights for me. While I am here, thinking about repopping the C195 rear weiights?? They seem to be a valuable commodity and very hard to locate.

Very nice, it should handle all the white stuff with ease.

Full field on a dc generator is when the field coils inside the generator are connected directly to ground and not thru any external resistors (those wire wound elements on the bottom of the reg). Full fielding causes maximum voltage output from the generator.

Thanks guys! Yeah when I heard what happened I was angry. Actually angry at myself for selling it (Just like the Senior)! But live and learn. I only sold the C-200 because I was sent a PM and offered more then twice what I had into it! Plus I got money for delivering it to boot! I guess I can't really complain seeing as it's my fault in the first place

Friday at 4:30pm the ball starts rolling to hopefully a quick fix.

I concur!

Search method sucks. I'm a poor searcher when it comes to looking for something.

WHATEVER!!!!!! All I got to say is, WHO CALLED THE OSU A POTENTIAL NATIONAL CHAMP< early in the season!!!! I can't hear you!!!! I could have finished on the bottom with Duke and Jackhammer, I'd still be happy. .... I gave OSU the vote of being a candidate for the National Championship early in the season.... I can't recall if anyone else called out OSU as a potential National Champ... . I'll take that victory over all the wins and loses! If I lived in Vegas baby, I'd be a GOZILLIANAIRE! Im pretty sure I did...lol GO BUCKEYES

Horsefeathers original??

1987 414-8 Wheelhorse modified, forward swept axle/gear reduction steering

Guess that answers my question, mine has idiot lights (although broken) so it is an '86, in very rough condition. Thank you, and nice tractor Geno! WOW

Reminds me of when I was teaching and wanted to get the students' attention. I would use my magic pen that could write any color. I would then spell out "Red, Green, Blue, etc." - and they would fall for it. It was a question of semantics. Never be an expert in a Court of Law though. That was Rule #1 when I was a Certified Safety Professional - unless being paid!

Looks to me like watching are Elected Officials. You got a room full of future leaders of Government and Industry there.

I think this is a given... RJ35...

Chuck that was hilarious! I have to deal with the same nonsense from the president of marketing where I work.. I'm going to have to show her this video....

SOI_ This video should be played during first class for all M.B.A. program candidates!

Hahahaha.....awesome......sounds like a conversation I have with the sales department's best people.....

I've scaled back a bit. Lol. This is the only pic I have right now of some of them. I have three with factory brake kits. They're suprisingly very easy and comfortable to ride.

First would have to be this little bundle of joy.. Close second might be my 420, I never thought I'd have one.. hj

Here is the link to the lights - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H5OXA6/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A7DC3EDEBQG4S I mounted them in a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum channel stock I bought at Sears then used double stick tape to mount it to the seat bracket

Yup, I remember when I joined here, your avatar was a pic of you sitting on the seat of your newly restored 1054. Matt

Check your ramps my folders are 600 each so 1200lb capacity total.

here's something interesting.... Brians gear cluster has all beveled gears. mine has beveled and straight.

Brian, yes! the final drive gear is welded on. I've been working on one for a few years now, and only recently have focused on the tranny. I think???? this transmission might be in a little better shape than yours. so if you'd like, just for comparison, I can send a few photos. I've been following your posts, and as it turns out, I'm a bit ahead of you on the restore thus far (although it won't be long until you pass me) I've gone over the steering box, built new spindle assemblies, and at the present am having the engine re-bored, and getting things in order to finish it's rebuild. I'm curious to know, when you get the bull gear assemblies apart. if your axle shaft bearings are the same size as mine. these bearings are 5/8 x 1 1/8 i.d. x 2 1/4 o.d. and while it's apart, I feel they should be replaced. what I've found out is, Nice is the only company making that size presently. they can be bought at Fastenal, or Motion Ind. only problem is, they come in lots of 10!!! at $43-$47 a piece, that is a bit pricey. so what I'm considering doing is replacing the metal piece that retains the bearings with one that's 2 1/2 o.d. I've found these bearings for a lower price, and I didn't have to buy 10 of them. the only thing I need to look into, is if there's enough room for the new retainer at the top end of the bull gear housing. sorry for being so winded, but I'm thinking any insight may be appreciated at this point on your project. good luck with it, I'm enjoying reading your posts!

I have a Saw Stop in my shop. A few yrs. ago one of the guys I worked with nearly lost four of his fingers.. I told him twice that he was running the wood thru way too fast and that he was getting WAY too close to the blade with his hand and fingers. What happened next was the probably the worst thing I've had to witness thus far in all of my 46 yrs. Four fingers all cut more than half way off. John had many yrs. of experience but he was having a bad day and it just got MUCH worse. He was out of work for 8 months and to this day he can barely move his fingers. His hand is always cold and he can barely hold onto things. he has since retired and he is only 57 yrs. old. A few weeks after his accident we bought the Saw Stop. If my memory is correct I believe it cost 6 grand. (Personally, I miss the old Delta) Anyone that intentionally puts their fingers into a Saw Stop is a MORON. I use the table saw on a daily basis,, I treat it like a regular saw, I don't rush anything when I'm using it no matter how much work they feel like dumping on me. There were three guys in my shop, now it's just me. Last week while I was in the middle of cutting a full sheet of plywood someone came up behind me and tapped me pretty hard on my shoulder to get my attention.. When I didn't stop what I was doing he did it again. REALLY? When I was finished I shut the saw off, turned around and before he said a word I calmly told him to get the hell out of my shop and that he is lucky I don't knock him out. I could care a less if he is a manager or not, ain't my boss... The big emergency? He needed an extension cord.

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.
