48" SD deck issues

Recommended Posts

Porkchop87

As some of you know, I bought a 414-8 tractor and now I'm having deck issues, it's a 48" side discharge. I hooked up the front into the locking mechanism, I put the lift lever lock thing in with a cotter pin, but when I put the deck on I noticed this bar with this 90° pin, with a hole for a cotter pin to go into just laying there off the back of the deck, on the rack thing on the top of the deck. Couldn't see where this goes under the tractor, it kind lines up with a flat piece of steel with two holes on it, this is attached to the rod that sets the deck height. I don't have any pictures as I had to go to work. Hoping someone know's what I'm talking about. Maybe there's a manual or procedure to ensure I put thi's on correctly. Thanks guys!

I've already got the schematic for the deck. Thanks though! I don't see that bar though. I'll just have to post some pictures of it

I see the bar, it's on the page with the belt for the pto hook up. Top left where it says adjustment see owners manual.

I'm guessing it's the rear trunion, I looked into the manual but it doesn't tell me where the rear trunion hooks.

Leveler bar. 

 

I found it. Had to do some digging but found it. Thanks! Lol

The deck should be a 1/8" to 1/4" lower in the front. That rod is the adjustment changing the height of the front of the deck.

      1979 C 8 speed tranny model with 14 hp Kohler engine and plow attachment, Runs good but ignition switch doesn't work and have to jump start over solenoid. Right rear wheel hub lock bolt won't hold and hub slides in on axle. Not sure why, out of round hub axle hole? Still use it regularly though with hack fix. Plow blade is badly worn out along the knife edge.

      I think I am selling my 1987 414-8 with plow, weights and chains.  Now here’s the story on this one. A long long time ago, I was searching for a snow plow for my 416H.  In that search I stumbled onto a forum which was one day old.  There was no name of the forum, just whtractor.15.forumer.com. Trying to learn more about snow plows I started conversations with one of the active members on the site, let’s call him Mike.  Mike convinced me I didn’t need a plow, but an entirely new tractor.
       
      About a week or so later, I found this 414–8 for sale, and bought it.  I now had my plow and could plow the driveway. So what happened with Mike @Sparky and this forum I spoke of? It grew a little bit, and we now call it RedSquare, and for sale is one of if not THE reason RedSquare exists today, so you can own a piece of RedSquare history!
       
      About the tractor: 1987 414-8. Kohler M14, runs well does not burn oil. Everything on the tractor works as it should, but it is a worker. The plow is a 48” with a custom made scraper blade, made from heavier stock than original. For the past several years, this has been a dedicated plow tractor, so it hasn’t seen a lot of work, but has also sat outside (under a tractor cover) so lots of let’s say, patina going on.  
       
      I a, selling because I just picked up a 416-8, and that will become my winter plow / blower tractor.  I am looking for $550, but like I said this tractor is a bit of a legend!

      I have cleaned it up since the pictures were taken.

      I have a late 80's 414-8. my transmission has a slow oil leak. it leaks slow so its hard to see where it is coming from. i get a small puddle/stain on the floor center under the trans after a few days of non-use.  is there a usual problem area that leaks? or is there anyone in the NJ area that can be recommended to repair the trans? I am sure due to its age that gaskets or seals may be shot.  the tractor sat for 10+ years at my office on a shelf.  It has ran well the past 3 years for me.  I would like to fix this leak if possible.  Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
       
      THANK YOU,
