Wheel-N-It 2,976 #1 Posted December 31, 2013 Santa was good to me this year. He brought me a well taken care of 1993 314 HYDRO with a 42" SD deck that is in great shape (no rust or dents or dings). The engine is a Magnum 14. The tractor has 530 hours on the meter, and the meter works so I'm sure this is the actual hours. It was a one owner. An older gentleman who after 20 years decided to buy a Zero turn to mow his yard that could have easily been cut with a push mower. The pics are from this morning. The air cleaner assembly is not attached because I'm having to replace the crankcase vent hose. The engine runs great and is very quiet. The hydro is strong, and I do not see any leaks. The mower deck is quiet. The throttle shaft is nice and tight in the carb body, thats a BIG plus. The charging system works as it should. All I have done so far is change the engine oil but will change the hydro fluid and filter this Spring. All the land where the tractor came from is totally flat so the Horse never climbed a hill till it got to my house. Anyway, here are some pics. I have not had time to clean it yet. Hope you like it! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,976 #6 Posted December 31, 2013 Don't forget, now your signature needs a restoration Van. And it wasn't long ago I was saying four Wheel Horses are enough. I can't even follow my own advice on that!!! I must really be addicted 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
