Does a 312 or 314 have 1 1/8” axles?

Ok, I have been offered a 90’s 314, with a 8 pinion, 1 1/8” axle rear and a new fuel pump. Rusted out ( I think i can fix it!) 48” mower deck for $300. What do you think has the rear end been changed? I know I’m gonna by it!👍

That's the right size for either a 312 or 314 I believe.

The newer model gurus will have to comment on this for sure but I kind of thought that was only on the 308 and 310 models.

From what I remember the 1989 312-8 has a 4 pinion transaxle with 1'' axle. In 1990 the 312-8 and the 312-H had 8 pinion with 1 1/8'' axle. If I am wrong someone please correct me for future reference.

Ok! This is in the late 80s early 90s. (The 314) so maybe it did have 1”.

Some do and some don't . I don't think you can't go by model years I think measure is the only way to be sure.  I have a 312-8 that has 1" axle and it has 4 pinions I have had it open. I don't know the model year has a 12 magnum so 1987 or later.

According to one of the manuals we have for the 1985 314-8...it has the 103916 8 pinion with 1 1/8" axles.  Hard to say about the newer ones, we do not seem to have much information.

One thing I can tell you...if you have 1" axles you have 4 pinions...whether it is 8 speed manual or less. (4 or 3 speed)

If you have 1 1/8" axles, you have either 8 or 10 pinions (exception...the early 60's horses with the 3 speed "Heavy Duty bevel gear differential)

 

Measuring the axle diameter is the only way to be sure.  :eusa-think:

It is the only way to know what you "might" have.  Remember, any owner could have done things to make it work for what he wanted,  That is one of the great things about Wheel Horse.  Parts and attachments are very inter-changeable.  And remember this, they are not Corvettes.  They used things and attachments through the years, and that made them more market worthy.  Inter-changeability probably keep Wheel Horse in business for more years then they would have been.  It is probably one reason that TORO ended up buying them out and did things that WH was still doing.

 

You know...people come in here all the time wondering what their horse is and what it is worth.  Fact is, there is very little that is worth more then if it runs.  If it runs, it is worth $300 to 400.  Attachments add to he value.  This is for the 60's that I am talking.  Go from there...:orcs-cheers:
