rustbucket 4 #1 Posted April 27, 2008 Me and my dad instaled all the parts the stator and new trigger and also tinkered and mountain boy wired the ignition system seeing as how the main key ignition wont work rusted solid. after a spurt of either and a new battery it breathed its first breaths in a good long time. I'll tell you it roared. Jason R. PA :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,033 #3 Posted April 27, 2008 You have a nice one to fix up, now that you have it running, hows the trans? but looks like you have your work cut out for you. keep us posted and more pic's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustbucket 4 #4 Posted April 27, 2008 all i can say is that the prior owner was nice enough to keep it with fresh oil and fluids even though it sat for several years. the drive tow lever is in tow right now and we will work on the rest of the machine soon we where just focused on getting the engine working. jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
refracman 167 #5 Posted April 28, 2008 Little late to say but Welcome rustbucket You have a fine tractor with the GT14, got me a few of them and i work'em like I stole'em. Just be sure the you dont try to start it when theres water in the blower houseing our you'll fry the trigger again, been there done that, best thing is not to wash it or let it set out side in the rain with out being covered up Again :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rustbucket 4 #7 Posted May 4, 2008 :whistle: IT ROLLED UNDER ITS OWN POWER!!!!!! we took the deck off cause it was in float mode and the lift lower lever for the hydro is broken off. once the deck was off we started her up and i placed the lever in the direction you all told me to on the trans and she rolled without any issues under her own power. WOOT!!!! my dad even did a few victory laps around the house with her. Jason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rustbucket 4 #12 Posted May 6, 2008 okay just a quick update to the GT-14 im tinkering on. last i told you all it ran under its own power. today i went to TSC and got a new seat to replace the old one that was not stock and also got a new belt for the deck and new ignition switch and choke cable. Dose anyone have a deck raise lever for the hydro on the GT-14 or do i need fabricate one out of something non WH?? Jason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
