Going Horse hunting tomorrow evening

Recommended Posts

dieselhorse

Heading down west of Indianapolis to hunt a Horse tomorrow after I get off work. If all goes as planned and its as described, she will be coming home to my stable. My wife is spotting me the funds to purchase the Horse, but once our old Bolens sells, I have to pay her back LOL! Tractor is a nice 1989 310-8 with a brand new mower deck installed last year. Looks great in the pic, hope it looks just as good or better in person. Here is a pic from his ad. Cheers Mike and Michele T

The 310-8 is safetly home in my stable now. Tractor is in excellent shape, he was the original owner, I got 4 sets of blades, extra belts for the mower deck, all of the original manuals and paperwork. Tractor got a complete new mower deck last year, not just a shell, but every single piece on the mower deck is brand new. Hasnt even been used enough to wear off the paint inside the deck. He replace it with a much larger green tractor. I got it for $575. I plan to give the old girl a nice polish job before I have to cut the grass this weekend. I will get better pics tomorrow, tried after I got her into the garage, but the digi cam batteries were dead, so they are now on the charger. Cheers Mike and Michele T

I went and looked, then promptly purchased it!!! She looks even better in person than that pic showed. For those in my area of Indiana, the shop I work at is now a Toro dealership. Gives those of us around here 2 choices to purchase our WH parts from. Cheers Mike

Here is a pic I took tonight after I got home from work. I am planning to get a brand new set of hub caps and a clevis hitch thru work if I dont find really nice used ones soon. I live in Kokomo. Enjoy the pic! Mike

As soon as I get time to pick up a can of high temp black I plan to clean up the muff and repaint it. All I have is high temp silver paint right now, works great on cub cadets that had silver mufflers, not sure it would look right on the Horse. I am suppriesd that these models dont have a heat shield over the muffler, I would have thought big brother would have required it by the late 80's Mike

Very nice lawn cruiser Diesel :D

Would it work to put a chrome muffler shield on like the 520's?

I was down in your area [indy] to get my D- tiller.

I would love to put a chrome guard on like the 502h's have, but the muffler lacks the mounting points and I am not a welder. Thanks for the compliments guys, we are very pleased with our new Horse. Mike and Michele T
