feather20a 3 #1 Posted February 19, 2012 I am looking for a manual for a 312-8. The ID plate on the rear mudguard/seat base reads : ID E112K802 35001 MADE IN USA 9257 I got nowhere using the Toro download site. I have managed to download the Magnum manual ok. Very pleased to have met "Farmer" and "Wheeledhorseman" recently. I am hoping to get my 2 312-8s back in order. I want to work them this spring. One is Registered with the DVLC. I have applied for a V5. Zero tax. I presume I will still need insurance to use it on the road and there will be some restrictions. The Gt 14 I gained in my recent round up seems to have been "messed about with" it is fitted with a 4 speed manual box, just welded on to the angle chassis where the old auto box was cut off. And the 4 stud wheels have a spacer/adaptor fitted between the 5 stud gear box flanges and the wheels. Oh well all good fun. Feather20a 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,545 #2 Posted February 19, 2012 Ahh, you've met another two of the southern fraternity ! I really will have to get down and see you guys ! GT14 sounds good, I'm just trying to put mine back to original condition - it doesn't sound as hacked as yours. re: 312-8 Sounds like a usual Belgium cut and shut... it could be a C-125 as that number is very close but with 312-8 decals. The user and parts manuals will be 99% the same I'm guessing ! mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,489 #5 Posted February 20, 2012 I am looking for a manual for a 312-8. The ID plate on the rear mudguard/seat base reads : ID E112K802 35001 MADE IN USA 9257 I got nowhere using the Toro download site. Feather20a At Toro enter your model number with a dash E1-12K802 For product 1990 and older do not enter your 35001 serial number. Use the word none for a serial number. https://lookup3.toro.com/request/request.cfm To download the 1990 manual use 31-10K801 and the word none for the serial number. (This is a 10hp model number but works for the 312-8 because they share a manual.) There is a 1989 manual in the Files of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wheelhorsetractormanuals3/ named Tractor 1989 300 400-Series 8-spd OM #810569R1.pdf Neither of these are for your exported model so one is likely as close as the other. The 9257 is the Julian build date - 257th day of 1989 - Thursday September 14, 1989 Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
