New to me, 312 8

Recommended Posts

Daron1965

After looking near and far, I finally picked up a 312 8 that was found close by to me.   It seems to be in good shape,  with 300hrs on it,  and it fit my budget.  Now I need to figure out how to put a sleeve hitch on the back so I can start turning over some ground.   Any advice on that or maintenance would be appreciated.

A few more. 

I will be removing the deck,  even though it has new blades,  I don't need this one to cut grass.

You have chosen.....wisely, :handgestures-thumbupright::handgestures-thumbupright: a great tractor for use in the garden, looks like a smart machine you’ve got and with low hrs too.

As you say, get the rear hitch for plough etc and your ready for action. :icecream:

(keep an eye out for some rear wheel weights as they make a big difference when working the soil). :twocents-twocents:

Check out "Wheelhorse Parts and More" in the Vendors section below.  He makes one better than the original from Wheel horse.

:text-yeahthat: He has every thing you need. I suggest the rock shaft under the seat also, your 312 probably doesn't have it. You don't need it for a breaking plow, but it helps. Anything heavier like a tiller it definitely helps. He sells the rock shaft also, all of his stuff is new and well made.

I saw that on the local Craigslist, (from Ellwood City) and thought that was an odd seat. Your pictures are a lot better than what was posted. 

 

Howd you make out on the deal?

I thought the seat was odd also,  but it is very comfortable.   I made out good on the deal.   I'm going to remove the deck and sale it, or trade it.   I don't need it. This tractor will be my gardening machine once I get the lift components and hitch.
