1988SS 50 #1 Posted March 23, 2020 2 months ago I bought a 314-8. There is a 211-4 for parting sale locally for a good price. Question: What, if any, 211 parts will fit my 314? example - tires, wheels, misc hardware. Thanks, Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 67,080 #2 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Ooooh I am not for sure, but not much fits. The 211 series is a vertical shaft mower compared to the 312 being a horizontal shaft garden tractor. The rear tires likely mount via shaft compared to lug bolts and are also a different size too. If there is something you’re looking for specifically for the 312, a wanted ad might help or browse the classified listings too. edit: sorry, 314. Same story applies...

Tractorhead 9,212 #3 Posted March 23, 2020 As far as i know, the Mowerdecks are compatible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the shells are the same Stefan, but the mounts and brackets might be different along with pulley configuration?

Stepney 2,354 #5 Posted March 23, 2020 Piece for piece interchange? The battery, for sure .. maybe the seat. Thats it. Some of the decks can be made to work, but it entails having a complete mounting setup to make it work, off a tach a matic deck. The front wheels maybe. Not much. Two very different machines there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,212 #6 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I compared several months ago a lot of picts i have found, to see if they fit, because i like to change to a side exit one instead of my mulcher. And as far as i found out, they should be compatible, but a much longer Belt is needed. Also all the decks i have closer investigated on Picts, seems to have identical or even compatible mounts. On my own mowerdeck i have a new Belt installed, after the collapsed E- clutch. I found few Belt offers for that deck, at local WheelHorse Dealers and ordered one, but that differs to my deck what seems to confirm i‘m right. The length of this belt was way to long about 85 cm, what should also confirming that, but i can resend and change to a lenght that fits. That seems to confirm all of my thoughts. The Basics are different, Rearaxle and Gear, Frame, Engine. what shall be compatible Seat, Frontaxle and tach-a-matic parts shall be exchangeable. @Stepney i doubt they will fit, the front Tyre size is only 6“ on a 211.

Ah ok, thanks for that info, i didn‘t know that. I seen until now mostly 8“Fronts, so i thought, that‘s serial standart. So that may cause maybe the whole frontaxle is compatible.
