GT-14 Brush Guard

Recommended Posts

Bear G

I was thinking about putting this brush guard on my ‘69 GT-14. So much for thinking.. I don’t really care for it..
Original thought was it would look cool & help protect that exposed fuel tank.
.  Pretty sure I’m going to abort on this project.
Back to the drawing board..

  Yes, I know, wrong hood decals for ‘69.. 

This hood is off a ‘70 I had.

yes i agree with you that,s its a bit much, what were you going to use the brush guard for ? the brush issues i had were quickly put down and removed with a 42" dozer blade. then i got after the pile with brush cutter and chain saw. then pushed it all away with blade. by the way that gt 14 looks well cared for , thank you for not letting it  fade away , pete

How about blending it in as a place 

or spot to hang weights?

A couple of KC daylighters and maybe a light bar and he'd be a proper redneck!

@Bear G, I’m honestly digging that guard.  Looks really tough like @pullstart said!

i kind of like it as a platform to bolt light bars and stuff on- if you're into that kind of thing. i don't think it looks very HD though- probably thin wall tube. as a decoration it's good but for winches and pushing stuff, i'd fab something instead...

      Anyone have pics of the CORRECT steering wheel for a ‘71 GT-14?
      also, is it 14” or 15”?

      Looking for NICE Clean GT-14 steering wheel
      (3 spoke) like this one.
      could also use new dash plate. 
      I like the ones Glen P. Has, but the raised white letters aren’t painted. Not sure how to go about doing that.
      Please text me if you have a steering wheel or clean dash plate for sale or know anyone that does.
      Thanks,

      Another GT-14 in the Herd.
      Not perfect, but it runs & drives.
      Doesn’t smoke.
      New carb & fuel pump. New tires.
      I have a super nice seat for it.
      We’ll see what becomes of this one.

      First off, for a little background, I have a 1276 and a 72' GT-14 which I inheireted from my Grandpa who bought them new. Used both for a while until the hydrostat gave up on the GT and shortly thereafter, the motor on the 1276. Swapped the motor to have a good running tractor which left me with a "stripped GT-14" and somehow in the mixup, a turbo on the 1276 (which I will get into later).
       
       
      Anyway, I started out by buying two bad 8 speeds with intent to make one good one and swap out the old wore out hydrostat unit and then power it with a v-twin or really just anything bigger than the Kohler that it originally started with. Ran across a good deal on a Yanmar 3-cyl diesel but now I have a dilemma on my hands..
       
      What can I use for a shaft driven transmission? I think the 8 speed idea is getting scrapped in favor of some sort of shaft driven setup (preferably with a rear pto aswell). Has anyone done this? The only thing I can find are Cub Cadet transmissions, in which I really can't "find" to purchase one. Is that like totally against the rules in the Wheel Horse world? Haha.
