Fishroe 261 #1 Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) And this jumped on the trailer. Guy took $100 for it. Obviously it doesn’t run but it has compression Couldn’t turn it down. From the model # chart it’s an 89. The one I have now is an 86. Is the only difference is one has points and magnum is electronic. This one has an hour meter 811 hrs my 86 doesn’t. Wouldnt let load but 2 pics. deck has a couple rusted out holes too Edited March 5, 2022 by Fishroe 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,301 #2 Posted March 5, 2022 @Fishroe , nice, remove the deck so it doesn't distract you , go over all the basics to hopefully find out what you have . pay attention to worn , chafed wiring , possible electrical cracking at plug in connections . maybe even run it on a separate gallon of heavily treated gas . done that exact basic first look and found the problems . also a lub o rama , on grease and oil drainage .those 14,s are worth a save , good luck , pete 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishroe 261 #3 Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Good tips Pete lot of investigating to do for sure hopefully the idiot lights work when I bought the 86 model 8 years ago they didn’t work so I took them out of the equation and rewired the whole tractor Edited March 5, 2022 by Fishroe 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,301 #4 Posted March 5, 2022 @Fishroe, like that idea and approach , when it comes to wiring , usually favor the most reliable set up . once you solve a chronic problem , its solid and always works. pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent value there in parts alone.

kpinnc 14,663 #8 Posted March 6, 2022 414-8 is a beast of a tractor. For that setup, only second to a 416-8. Pretty hard to tell the difference from the seat actually! Nice score! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
