Several months ago, a guy I work with (Gary) approached me about "restoring" his Wheel Horse... A 314-8. I've been working on it in my free time for the past couple weeks.
It spent some MAJOR time outside...  But it was his dad's tractor and deserves to live again. Here's the progress... I started with this at about 4am...    By daylight, it looked like this...   I originally planned on just stripping it down to the hoodstand, but I knew that I had to go a little farther to make it "right".... -------------------- Jon in Centerpoint, Indiana

I know now that I will be "farming out" the sandblasting on the next one(s)....
The cabinet works great on the smaller stuff, but the big stuff is a PITA. Finally starting to go back together...      Wow... using new, unpainted hardware really makes them "pop"... I know it's not the way it was done at the factory, but that's the way I'm going to do them...  |

Thanks fellas!
The back wheels are now painted. I'll let them cure for a couple days before I mount the tires.  |

Jon, super, super job!
 You're right about new hardware - I'm using Grade 5 or stainless nuts/bolts/washers everywhere on my 312's I'm rebuilding - really sharpens up the look, and I, too am a rattle-can fanatic!  I just wish I had your and Duke's stick-to-itiveness...it's taken me all winter to get about as far as you have in two weeks. You guys are something else!

I've been slowly making a little progress...
Stripping and painting, and stripping and painting...  After I mounted up the rear tires, I noticed the dry-rot cracks all over them...  Luckily, the 550 (now a 400) that I bought at the show had a almost new set of the EXACT same tires on it (Carlisle 22x7.50-12)... They'll be going on the 314!    |

![whtractor/yankchain[1].gif](http://whtractor.15.forumer.com/html/emoticons/whtractor/yankchain[1].gif) On a serious note, you are doing a good job. I agree with you on the new fasteners. I think that really makes the whole project come together in the end. -------------------- Bob

Fer sure! My shop looks like a huge, weird set of wind chimes with all the parts hanging up drying and waiting for me get off my arse and get back to work on 312-8 #2 and #3! I've never worked on the round hoods to know how many parts and pieces they have, but WH for darned sure packed 'em into the 300/400/500 series machines! Your project is looking GREAT, by the way!

Been slaving away on the 314 for the past couple days...
Tried out the new E-tank...  Some windchimes...  Steering... YAY!  When she called, I told my wife I was dashing... I don't think she got it.    OMG was the engine FILTHY...   and a little rusty in the bottom of the blower housing. If it would have sat outside much longer, there would be a "window" in the bottom of it.  MUCH better!   Back home again! It's starting to look like a tractor again!  |

Thanks fellas!
Good news!!! GOOD NEWS!!! I cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor, ran new fuel lines, hooked up the rest of the wiring, etc... today. She started RIGHT up!!! And, with a minor adjustment of the carb, it runs like a CLOCK! I do have a few questions though... I don't know much at all about the charging systems that don't involve a starter/ generator... I do know that the 314 has the non-regulated 3A charging system with a seperate lighting coil. The volt meter NEVER moves from the lowest reading... Should it come up to 12 volts when the key is turned on, or only when the engine is running? What could be the problem and how do I diagnose/ fix it? The lighting coil is fine, I hooked a temporary light to it and it works as it should. Any and all input is GREATLY appreciated. JB |

If you get bored this winter I have a couple that need to be done. You need to make sure to take a picture of the individual's face when he comes and picks it up. Priceless indeed! Oh btw.......how do you find time to get all of that done with all of the Horse trading you have been doing???? -------------------- Scott (Warsaw, IN)

I must say, you are doing one heck of a job on the restore. I have a 312-8 that I am working on but it is not going back stock. The hood and fenderpans are really in bad shape and I am customizing it a little. I have a C120 and a Bronco 14 restored back to original but this one will be a little different. I have a hood from another early model WH (don't know what year) and a set of round fenders from a old sears Suburban. The round fenders bolted right to the gas tank and fender pan brackets by drilling three holes in each side. No cutting or welding. The round fenders just make it look like a "real" miniture tractor.
I like the silver touchyou did. I had planned on putting a little silver touch to mine and you have inspired me to do it. The person you are doing the restore for is a lucky guy to have someone like you give his tractor that much detail. Keep the photo's comming and when I finish mine, I will try to post some photo's on this site from home. |

Thanks for the kind words fellas!
I AM ready to play with the RJ!!!!  I've been working my AZZ off for the past week or so, trying to get it done. Steph put the decals on a little bit ago. DAMN, she's good!    All that's left is to put the hitches on (clevis, standard and dozer/tiller hitch) and give it a good going over... (check all bolts, etc.) Then, I'll be wire brushing/ sanding the deck and the dozer blade... and painting them and it'll be DONE!  I'll try to get it outside tomorrow for some better pics. |

Yes, unfortunately he came and looked at it Friday... and he has a link to this thread. I wish I would have made him wait... covered it up with a sheet and unvieled it to him. That would have been COOL!
He seems to be thrilled about it though! |

I took it on the first drive it's been on in YEARS... Everything is good! I need to put the dozer/tiller hitch on still and the throttle knob and that's it! (other than the deck and dozer repaint)

Jon,
That is simply beautiful! Your co-worker probably couldn't believe his eyes when that pulled in to his driveway. What a great gesture and another tractor that is going to live for a long, long time. I bet it won't sit outside anymore! Thanks for sharing the progress from start to finish! -------------------- Scott (Warsaw, IN)

That tractor looks great, but the deck? Did we forget something?

That can't be the end of the story! What was you coworkers reaction when you presented him with the restored machine?
