Jasper 0 #1 Posted May 17, 2009 Thanks for the very warm welcome from every one! Sounds like you have all done your home work on these Horses and thanks for the offer to help! I am from Cambridge Ont. Canada. A true Canadian spends their summer preparing for the following winter and that is where I am going to start...prep this 418-A for the winter NOW...the seller was very sure this was a 1985 but as a member has stated...I believe it is a 1987......VIN# 31L8KEO1......pics will come soon....USB port locks up PC when uploading...must fix. I do love the pics of all the members Horses....they're WILD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swap out the "L" to a "1" and add a dash between the two 1's to look like this 31-18KE01 and enter it here for a parts breakdown on your tractor. https://lookup3.toro.com/partdex/index.cfm Mike...........

can whlvr 993 #4 Posted May 17, 2009 Hi jasper,im located about 1 hour north east of you,a fellow ontarion,i have a 414-8 1987 and i would have to say that i rarely need more power than the 14 hp kohler can deliver,so i think you will be very happy with your 18hp.Good luck with your new machine.
