I've been thinking about an AC garden tractor for years. This one is close by, but it is expensive. Could someone tell me the model and if $950 for a non-running tractor is fair or not? Thanks.

It appears to be a 314H, Kohler engine. Since it has 3 point, its most likely to have electric power take off. The H is for Hydro. A picture of the right side would verify. The 400 series had the model decal behind the Allis Chalmers decal on the hood. A good looking tractor but I feel its overpriced by $500. Especially as a non running tractor. New points, condenser, possibly a coil, carb work and your going to be over a $100 just in parts. Again, a good looking tractor, kept inside is obviously a plus. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Thank you very much for the detailed description! I needed that. I thought it might be a tad over-priced. ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

Is the extra engine he shows one that could go into this machine? I'm wondering why he shows another engine. Is the main one blown? I need to call. ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

| The extra engine is not an extra...it's the turbo blower for the bagger trailer. Also it doesn't have a 3pt hitch. It's the standard sleeve hitch that they used up to the late 90's on the 918. That is all period correct and I don't think it is over priced for all of it if that is something you are looking for. |

| I t's more than I would pay--You don't know how well the hydro works. I prefer the 900 series, partly because they have posi traction and you usually get a running one for less$ |

Thank you. I read elsewhere that parts for the hydrostatic transmission in the 314H can't be found. I think I'll pass on this one. ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

That 'extra' engine(B&S) is for the leaf vacuum pickup system. engine powers a vacuum between deck chute and trailer, that has abig 'bag' for the leaves. While $950 is a lot for a nonrunner, that vacbagger system probably cost 2K. I'm thinking $700 for all, asis-whereis, should get it. I know I cam resell the vac/bagger for 700 any day of the week up here.
