Wheel-N-It 2,967 #1 Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) OK guys, we share all our love and pics for the RJ's, the Suburban"s, the 701's, the 953's, the C160's, the 520's, and occasionally a Blackhood........ But what about the 414's? It's like they don't even exist! Am I the only Red Square member who has a 414 in the barn? LOL Tell me it ain't so, and show us your 414 Tonight the 414-8 is getting an oil change. I have no idea how many hours are on this one because they do not have hour meters. What was up with that?!

Ed Kennell 35,829 #10 Posted October 27, 2016 Can't help with a 400 pic Van, but I am curious. What is different between the 300 and 400 tractors? BTW, we old geezers do for keeping our SS checks from bouncing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Sir, this one has al o t of potential. I'm the second owner of this one. It was bought and used by the original owner to mow a 1/4 acre lot on a lake front, and groom the driveway with a brinley blade. All I've done with it since bringing it here three years ago is pull a trailer and lawn sweeper around. With a good waxing it will shine like new money. 59 minutes ago, Ed Kennell said: Can't help with a 400 pic Van, but I am curious. What is different between the 300 and 400 tractors? BTW, we old geezers do for keeping our SS checks from bouncing. Ed, I do believe the 414 was basically the same as the 312 with the exception of the 414 has two more horsepower, the eight inch front wheels, but does not have an hour meter whereas the 312 does have an hour meter. Also I think the 414 cost a little more to purchase than the 312 LOL And you are welcome for my contributions to your SS fund LOL but you better be quick cashing your checks in September 2019 because I'll be racing you to the bank then to get mine cashed first Edited October 27, 2016 by Wheel-N-It 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #12 Posted October 27, 2016 Maybe we should have "Show Us Your 400 Series". I don't have a 414-8, but I do have a 416-8. Looks better with the new seat. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldlineman 1,450 #13 Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Hi guys I love my 1989 414-8 but mine does have an hour meter with 967 hours on its original motor. No smoke just lots of power, love it. Bob Edited October 27, 2016 by oldlineman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,967 #15 Posted October 27, 2016 T-Mo, how many hours are on the meter of your 416? Hey Bob, yours is the first 414 I've heard of with an hour meter. And BTW, my daughter was born in 1979. She will be 37 on the 30th of this month Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm the third owner of this tractor. I bought it from a guy who claimed that he got it from the original owner who bought it new. I don't see any dealer stickers on it, but it probably came from Muellers in Desoto, Missouri. Still runs good, drives good, though it is showing some signs of smoke, mainly on start up. I have the deck for it, but it needs one spindle. I wouldn't mind doing a small refresh of the sheet metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldlineman 1,450 #17 Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Great,mine was born on August 12,1979, but still my little girl! But we regress, my 414-8,I am second owner has one and have no reason to believe that it is not original. Tractor had around 500 hours when bought and has not given me any problems.

Ken B 3,116 #19 Posted October 27, 2016 ALWAYS one to follow rules, here is a pic of my 414-8. I picked it up at a tag sale for 150 bucks and gave it a decent worker refurb. I'll have to find a before pic. I've had 416's with Kohler 16's on them and I really don't notice a big difference in power. I think the 414's are one of the best trouble free workers out there... 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #20 Posted October 27, 2016 Did change the 414-8 seat, now a high back. TSC off the shelf. Foot rests are now anti-slip. Been using for years and works great, course skateboard grip tape. One $5 piece will cover both foot rests. I cut the tape with a paper cutter, straight cuts.. Also use the grip tape with the "micro holes" no bubbles. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken, that is one nice looking tractor. My 416 has the 16 hp Kohler Magnum. So Kohler either way. Your 414 is one excellent looking machine. I like it.

I'd like to see somebody try that with a Lowes or Home Depot special. My Magnum 416 had about 750 hours on it and the K powered 416 has a little over 800 hours on the clock. Boy at this rate, I will never wear them out LOL Ken and Tankman, you guys have some handsome tractors 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
