JonW 0 #1 Posted July 4, 2009 I Think its an 81 C85. A friend has it along with a deck for $100. The tractor doesn't turn over unless you jump the solenoid with a screw driver. I was thinking...... maybe the deck will fit my 93 314-8. There was no Model number tag on the tractor(at least I couldn't find one) and the tag on the deck was faded to the point the letters are unreadable. I do know its an eight horse.

Sparky-(Admin) 23,120 #2 Posted July 4, 2009 Your right its a C-85 but it could be a 1980-81-82 or 83. The deck is a 36"rear discharge and will definitly fit your 314. Mike........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitten 134 #3 Posted July 4, 2009 Jon Have you tried to bypass the safety switches to see if that is the starting problem? Just a thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,054 #4 Posted July 4, 2009 If you only need the deck, I would be interested in buying the tractor. Just PM me and I can come out your way tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonW 0 #5 Posted July 4, 2009 I didn't buy it yet..... still thinking it over. I will try the safety switch if I do get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Series14 15 #6 Posted July 4, 2009 If you are trying to start it like it sits, the PTO lever is down and will not let it start. Just an idea... Tag under steering wheel on panel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonW 0 #7 Posted July 4, 2009 If you are trying to start it like it sits, the PTO lever is down and will not let it start. Just an idea... Tag under steering wheel on panel... I tried the PTO lever and no go. The tag reads 01-08K801 81 C85. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,880 #8 Posted July 4, 2009 The starting problem could very well be the Battery and or the carburator sitting on the hood.... Seriously, for $100 it's a steal. The deck will fit your other horse. If you aren't interested, I will take it for $100! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
