James2042 9 #1 Posted November 30, 2015 Hello , I just bought my first toro a 97 312-8. I posted on a few Facebook pages trying to get a value before buying but had no luck. I got a snowthrower,rear weights,cart and tire chains. Here is a list of known problems. Choke cable stuck. I have to pull the clutch pedal back to get moving. One blade hub is bad and has been cutting with only two blades. Motor mount bolts loosened up. Missing an adjustment bolt from deck arm to rear deck wheels (metal wire replacing it) I believe Thats it I paid 100.00. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,003 #8 Posted November 30, 2015 I love the North end of Lake George, spent a lot of time there in the early '60; beautiful! Sound like you stole that 312, just need a clutch return spring and a choke cable and you are ready to blow some snow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All kinds of them around here on CL for 150, some even less but look to be complete but might need work.
