Rob XC700 75 #1 Posted July 1, 2017 Hi, I am the proud new owner of a 414-8. The one attachment that I want to purchase is an under frame mounted blade. I don't remember if that's the correct terminology for that model. The model that mounts under the tractor. Are there certain things to look for when purchasing these? Which models will work? A certain dimension that will confirm it will fit my 414-8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,515 #4 Posted July 2, 2017 Check the manual section. The 414-8 is an excellent Horse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob XC700 75 #5 Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks Tankman. I do the same with my snowblower. I use engine storage spray and always on blocks to prevent the rust line. Good idea with the stainless bolts. I do that with my snowmobile. Those are 2 nice horses you have there. Edited July 2, 2017 by Rob XC700 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found one a few hours from my home. It was mounted on an Electra 12 that's for sale. He's separating them. I'm hoping to remove the brackets of the Electra and crossing my fingers they will work on mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry77 1,218 #7 Posted July 3, 2017 You need to check with some of the more informed guys on red square - I don't think one from an electra 12 will fit on your 400 series.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Jerry77, Here's the dilemma. I was speaking with the seller about 2 hours ago. He's not sure it came off the electra. He is somewhat of a collector himself and owns several wheel horses. He purchased a few tractors, and a number of attachments as package deal. He was only after a couple of items, so he's selling the electra and the dozer blade and he couldn't say if it was actually on the electra previously or not. The brackets are on the electra and he said we can remove them. I'm suppose to go early Monday morning and pick it up. It's 2 hours away, so now I'm not sure if I should make the trip.

BOB ELLISON 2,976 #9 Posted July 3, 2017 Call the guy and ask him to mesure it. The length on long frame is 64" from center rear bar 3/4" rod to the center of pivot bolt at blade. If it mesure 64" it should fit your 414-8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to get more educated on using this forum. I will contact him and ask him to measure it. Happy July 4th!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
