New to my 314 hydro.

[Matash 15]

Good afternoon.   I’m new the the wheel horse.  What is the purpose of the cold start clutch ? Thanks Matt 

[Sparky-(Admin) 19,553]

I’m not familiar with a cold start clutch? Are you talking about the lever that disconnects the drive belt? If yes, that would be more for safety so the tractor doesn’t  take off as soon as it’s running.

[Matash 15]

Ok. Ty that’s what it is.ty

That's a very nice horse someone never used it much, you were very fortunate to find it. 

[JoeM 7,636]

Be careful those horses tend to multiply!

@Matash

The tutorial helped me a lot to navigate this site. Let me know if you need any help. PM me 

[peter lena 8,069]

matash, very good pick up on that, also that you are on this site for help and ideas. looking at the tractor, i see the opportunity to easily make it look much better (  if you choose ) . i use a  6 "  palm polisher  from  H/F  along with , MAGUIRES CLEANER WAX , easily letting the polisher do the work. once the paint " breaks clear " finish with a soft cotton towel, i just did 2 of my horses , original paint , they look very good. i know you probably have a lot of things that you might want to do to ,like  baseline maintenance  , but that semi dull paint can be easily brought back to a shine. good luck with it , pete

You are going to like that 314.

[oldlineman 1,450]

Also it would help in cold weather starting by the starter not having to turn the cold motor with cold oil in it and the hyd. pump with cold oil in it. Just my thoughts. Bob

[MAD MARK 74]

Old lineman got it. 

 

Being a hydro, it disengages the drive belt to the hydro pump for use on cold days to allow the engine to start without load. You pull up and back. To re-enage you lift up and push forward while releasing it downward slowly. 

 

My 314-H has this and I use it quite a lot. 

[Alinva 14]

Very nice. I'm new to wheel horse as well and recently picked up a 314H like yours. Haven't been able to spend much time on it yet but loving it so far.

[chip61 655]

Great find-that tractor will do anything you need it to you'll enjoy it for many years to come

[Matash 15]

Alinva I’ve enjoyed mine so far.  I mowed 1 time so far and it cuts great.
