DZG 51 #1 Posted yesterday at 01:42 PM I was at an auction yesterday and bought this... It fired right up, blower works, and it moves fine. I did some reading and i just want your opinion on how decent of a mower it is? Its a 314A. I bought it to blow snow as itll be eaiser to do my sidewalks and stuff with then my quad. I gave 230bucks for it. 5 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 46,966 #3 Posted yesterday at 03:36 PM Great deal. the working tall chute blowers sell for $200. Just a word of caution, the 314A has the weaker Eaton 700 hydro transmission that is not approved for ground engaging implements like a dirt plow or disc or grader blade. It should work fine with the blower or a mowing deck. Another quirk with the 700 hydros is the engine is not running, they can not be rolled. Do not attempt to tow as the transmission may be damaged. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's the Checklist Thread to help you welcome the new horse to the herd! You got a good deal Edited yesterday at 03:39 PM by Handy Don 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 12,783 #7 Posted 23 hours ago (edited) Excellent score - do the fluids & filter change, grease the tractor & blower fittings. You MAY wish to add another 9 or 10 cross links to fill the spaces between the existing ones on each rear tire Your kidneys will thank you. If the tires already have tubes, you may also want to fill them with either RimGard or winter windshield fliud. Takes about 5 gallons per tire - adds about 35 lbs of weight per tire. Heavy snow will most likely may be an issue without wleel weights... Edited 22 hours ago by ri702bill 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,450 #10 Posted 22 hours ago This tractor uses an Eaton 700 hydro so there is no transmission oil filter. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DZG 51 #11 Posted 16 hours ago Awesome so i did pretty well lol. I literally just bought it to snowblow. My quad with bucket is a real pain at times. lol. I plan on changing all the fluids before i really start running it. I did read the 700 is a bit on the weak side....but like i said i dont plan on using it hard. I got a cub and 2N for that stuff lol 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brockport Bill 2,454 #12 Posted 15 hours ago other than the obvious maintainence tasks one that is often overlooked is to replace the gas line - -they can rot internally and the little fragments travel potentially to carb -- also suggest washing out gas tank - enjoy ! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sqrlgtr 3,694 #16 Posted 2 hours ago Just wondering if the A after the numbers always refers to the 700 and the H after refers to the 1100 Eatons? example 314-A, 314-H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not always, I think the 417A had the 1100 hydro. The manual lift is a better indicator of a 700 hydro. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 18,875 #18 Posted 1 hour ago 31 minutes ago, Ed Kennell said: The manual lift is a better indicator of a 700 hydro. Or another way to describe it is the hydraulic lift indicates an 1100 transmission on Eaton equipped models. Occasionally you run across a 700 with electric lift added. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought that the A stood for Automatic, later changed to H for Hydro, but what do I know? I didn't realize the 700 had no filter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
