rustyoldjunk 127 #1 Posted April 26, 2009 i have brought in several horses lately including a 14-8,the 800 special i posted questions about,an 8-4,a C160 hydro w/hydro lift,2 GT14's one early one late model and a 418 A 8 speed? i also got the 1257 i had been working on up and running,i used a 416 8 speed rear in it w/a later model K301 kohler 12hp engine but that tractor is for another thread,oh and 10.50 super lug rear tires.....but back to what this thread is about.the one i got got in has 418 A on the hood sides but its an 8 speed.what does the A stand for? it has the kohler 18hp twin and it also has what appears to be factory electric lift.so what makes a 418 A a 418 A?

Kelly 1,033 #2 Posted April 26, 2009 Someone change the hood?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustyoldjunk 127 #3 Posted April 26, 2009 thats my thinking too Kelly.if the A stands for automatic,not being as familiar with the details of the newer models i wasnt sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lotus1967 0 #4 Posted April 27, 2009 If the hood is louvered, just change the decals to say 418-8. You should have a chrome air cleaner cover, chrome heatshield on the muffler, and the electric lift. If it's really a 418-8 it will have 1,2,3 and R with a dual range selector. Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hodge 6 #6 Posted April 27, 2009 looks like a nice haul you got there,wish we had used horses in my neck of the woods but no such luck up here in ontario. Don Same here- used horses are like hens teeth. Makes you wonder about some of these guys who come home with new finds all the time- maybe Mythbusters needs to look into this... :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustyoldjunk 127 #7 Posted April 27, 2009 looks like it just has the wrong decals on the hood.its a 418-8.it is a neat tractor with the chrome breather,exhaust guard,electric lift,hour and amp gauges but it has sit out a while its oxidized but not rusted too bad.the engine seems locked up,the PO thought it was the starter but i got the starter disengaged and its still locked up.it looks like sale material because i wont have time to get to it any time soon.
