bradleydavidgood 0 #1 Posted 3 hours ago Hi, I bought a Wheel Horse tractor yesterday for $500. I looked all over the thing and can't find any plate or serial number. Can you help me identify it by its features in the photos? Or tell me where I can find the serial number or year information? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 25,825 #4 Posted 1 hour ago Welcome! That’s a 1987-1989 414-8. The data on those year’s was on a decal on the rear fender which you don’t have. Very capable rig…I have the same machine here. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexR 3,055 #5 Posted 1 hour ago Check this out comment #7 to narrow down your model year based on the engine numbers Since you have a magnum engine on there it appears if the engine is original its a 87-89 model year The model is the 414-8 which is the 400 series 14 hp and 8 speed manual 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
