Jayd513 7 #1 Posted May 28, 2016 I have come across a 312-8 wheel horse with a great running 12hp Kohler Magnum. The tractor is a lil ruff but runs like a top and has a deck with it. I bought it and need to get a belt for the blades to work the one that goes from the motor and runs to the front pulley and then deck. I can post a few pics ig necessary. I would like to know what year this tractor is so I can grab a few parts for it any help is very much appreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you go to download the TIPL (Toro illustrated parts list) that Racinbob linked you to you will see one of the files is named Tractor 1990 312-8 31-12K801 Engine TIPL.pdf That will show you all the parts that are required.
