william orndorff 7 #1 Posted August 25, 2017 Just picked up a 1989 312-8 mower. Looking for an operator manual I'm not really looking for the exploded view of all the systems just the basics. Ex oil capacities and what not.. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

william orndorff 7 #6 Posted August 26, 2017 I may not be asking the proper questions to get the answers I'm looking for, What I'm looking for specifically is a owners manual that lists what type of motor oil to use in the mower and what type of transmission fluid to use. I didn't see it specifically listed in the files Mr Cafoose sent me earlier. Just general operating instructions for the user. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,498 #7 Posted August 26, 2017 Go back to the manual link provided and click on this line Tractor 1989 312-8 D&A TIPL SN.pdf The page that opens has 4 small pictures at the top of the page. Click on one of them and it will open. Then arrow across to the others. Two of them are from the lube chart and cover this model of tractor. Or the complete chart Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
