slammer302 2,154 #1 Posted April 3, 2016 I started my day by going to a auction were their was a 312-8 up for bids. I waited 2hrs waiting for the auctioneer to get to the horse and about the time he makes it down the line where the 312 was sitting he skips it and moves into the house to do the furniture so i ended up loading my wife and two littlest kids up and leaving feeling a little down. So on the way home checked the local CL and spotted this sweet thing that had just been posted and looked better and was priced right and the best part was i didn't have to fight i whole group of guys over it. will post better pics after i get it unloaded 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #9 Posted April 4, 2016 Went and picked up this C-120 auto that has been converted to a 8 speed. It has a bad trans. But has a good 12hp kohler and new ags all the way around and a awesome seat. So my plan is to put all this great stuff on the 312-8 and i will fix the trans on the C-120 later down the road. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian01 481 #14 Posted April 4, 2016 Those replacement seats like that are freaking outrageous.. My neighbor bought one for his JD, almost just like that. cost him like $300-400 which is nuts. Triedtelling him I could find one cheaper but has more money than sense. LoL Oh and nice scores Barry, you lucky dog! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #20 Posted April 5, 2016 Here's what I got. Had to change one spindle sense one on the 312-8 was bent very badly. It was so far out of alignment it had worn one of the front tires out but not the other. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #21 Posted April 7, 2016 Got the old trans out of the C-120. And put a old one that my dad had sitting in the barn in it and got it together enough to ride it around the yard. Hopefully I will have it back together tomorrow. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
