john deere 314

The free wheeling valve on my John Deere 314 seized up and the knob broke off. Is it possible to get at it and do anything with it? The tractor is frozen in place and cannot be moved. Any ideas what to do? From B3B

So.. A friend of mine bought a 314 for home and garden..only issue was the prior owner had disassembled it to have it restored. Also told him it needed a new Harmonic balancer.. which I don't see..since my Jim Dandy runs the exact 14hp Kohler and the 322 we had back in the 90's didnt have one...

Hi folks, I am in the process of rebuilding/restoring a 1983 John Deere 314 lawn and garden tractor, 14 HP Kohler single cylinder engine. I bought this tractor used in 1984 and it has been super reliable and super useful for maintaining my property. Even though I have kept up with the routine...

Looking at buying one of these, checking it out tomorrow. It looks well used but with no obvious damage. Owner says the Kohler engine is strong and it cuts well. Hydrostatic system is performing well. Of course I have to verify these things in person! The price is $500.00. I need something...

I have a 314 the runs fine but I would like to get more power out of it. I was thinking I could possibly go with a larger engine since the running gear is same as those with more HP. I am looking for suggestions, I have priced a good rebuild and I am wondering if there are performance parts...
