    John Deere 140 H3, help!

    I just found and bought an old 1970 John Deere 140 H3 and it needs a lot of work. It was basically left out in a pasture to rot away. I intend on getting it back operational. I found the main reason it was parked after close inspection this evening. The transmission linkage Cam (M42529) is...

    Kohler K321 AQS point plug gap

    Can someone please tell me the proper point and plug gap setting for my Kohler K321 AQS (spec # 60343). This is on a 1983 John Deere 314. Thanks!

    JD 314 engine mount swap

    Yep, my buddy who collects the wheel horses said many have the balance gears. He has rebuilt many and says he cannot tell the difference with or without them. He said most all of the wheel horse guys will rip those balance gears out every time. My isolators are in good shape, just can't stand...

    JD 314 engine mount swap

    Interesting, don't know why it would crack the frame? Look at a Wheel Horse Bronco 14 for example. That's the same K321 hard bolted directly to its frame. I grew up with these Wheel Horse tractors, my Dad still has about 14 or 15 of them in his collection. We certainly never encountered any...

    JD 314 engine mount swap

    Now that's the first response I've seen saying it would shake worse. I did some searching around online about this. Most people that have done this day it greatly decreases the shake. The rubber mounts allow it to shake worse. My buddy that had all the Wheel Horses said there used to be a guy...

    JD 314 engine mount swap

    We all know how the Kohler shakes on these models at idle. Has anyone ever done away with the rubber isolator a and made steel spacers to hard mount the K321? I had a good friend who is a die hard Wheel Horse collector suggest this. He said it would not hurt a thing and would be better than the...

    314 Grill

    I recently picked up a late 314, serial # 222xxx (1983), it has a mesh grill in it but is missing the frame that the mesh would have fit in. Did any of the 314's ever have a mesh grill? I suspect it's wrong.

    John Deere 112 engine swap

    I'm reading data online that says Deere offered the K241 as an optional engine starting in 1969 until '72. They then went with the K301. I cannot imagine there being 2 different frames in '69-'72 for the optional K241. I can see some changes from '72-'74 to accommodate the K301 if indeed there...

    John Deere 112 engine swap

    I believe you, I'm just saying there are conflicting reports. Is there anyone out there that has done this swap that knows for certain? I figure this would be pretty common since Tecumseh engines in general have such a bad reputation. I'm certainly not a fan myself. If the K301 won't fit...

    John Deere 112 engine swap

    My 112 looks like new and is very nice. The 212 is rough but a good Kohler. I guess there is some bad info. out on the net. I've read several times that there were no differences in the frames.

    John Deere 112 engine swap

    I have a nice 1970 John Deere 112 with a Tecumseh HH 100. No spark and I suspect the SSI ignition is bad. I know I could replace it with the HET unit from overnight solutions. But I have found a 212 complete tractor with the K301 Kohler. Is this a direct engine swap? I'm pretty sure there were...

    Highest Cut Possible on John Deere 318?

    I was already well aware of that. Just wanted to know if anyone had did any modifications to get the deck higher than 4"?

    Highest Cut Possible on John Deere 318?

    Well, that's very disappointing news. I may have to sell it or trade for something that will adjust higher? That's a shame, It's a really nice 318. Surely someone has modified one of these to cut higher? I can't imagine I'm the only one who cuts this high. I can't complain though, the deal I...
