SylvanLakeWH 28,613 #2 Posted March 28, 2020 Yes - the "8"'s are 3 forward gears and one reverse, with a high and low range that results in "8" gears... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,195 #3 Posted March 28, 2020 Yes, the 314-8 has 14 HP and a high/low range that gives you 6 forward and 2 reverse gears. This would be a great tractor for plowing and mowing. to the Hillbilly Hunter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wvhunter 88 #5 Posted March 28, 2020 thanks for the help!!! this is a picture of the tractor it has 444 hours and comes with a snow blade but I don't think its a wheel horse blade, he wants $550.00 for it. is this a fair deal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,195 #6 Posted March 28, 2020 It looks nice. A 42" rear discharge deck.....any other implements? Price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,195 #7 Posted March 28, 2020 At 444 hrs, If it runs and drives and mows as it should, $550 is a reasonable price. Is the deck included with the plow blade? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a very fair deal if it runs good and the trans is good. If the snow blade is homemade or for a different brand just sell it off in November and find a WH blade 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wvhunter 88 #10 Posted March 28, 2020 does anyone know if this one has 1 inch or 1 1/8 axles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,195 #11 Posted March 28, 2020 FYI, wheel horse implements average price snow /dozer blade and frame ( 314 needs a long frame) $150 +- $50 You also need an axle bracket $40 +- $10 Ground turning plow $140 +- $30 You also need a clevis hitch $50 +- $20 Mowing decks $200 +- $50 Quote 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,195 #12 Posted March 28, 2020 It should have the 1 1/8" axles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reel Mower Freak 125 #20 Posted March 28, 2020 I think it looks pretty decent. AG tires on the back already will save you some cash. Bring $500 and go get it IMO. Start at $450 and work some magic. Good luck 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,339 #21 Posted March 28, 2020 TO Nice tractor and it should serve you well! With proper maintenance and upkeep it will last a long time! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,195 #22 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) That looks like a 54" WH dozer blade. Go get it. Just noticed...no blade angle lever??? Edited March 28, 2020 by Ed Kennell 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 42,195 #24 Posted March 28, 2020 I'm not sure if it is a WH plow. It could be, but we need a picture of the frame and/or the angle sector to be sure. Sometimes the angle lever interferes with the foot rest and it is possible because of this, the PO did not install the lever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
