Only two things you gotta know about Red Square.

 

Lots of experts that know their way around a 312.

:text-welcomeconfetti:!  Your father left you a great tractor.  I’m happy for your gain, but it’ll never replace the loss.

      Deck it solid top to bottom with no rot and newer blades. Belt and Pulley are good to go!

      Hello y'all,
       
      I hope everyone is staying safe and staying healthy. If not, i pray that you or whoever is afflicted be healed soon. 
       
      I hope to learn a lot from the forums and hopefully can use some of you young whipper snappers for your brains (ideas, how to's and such). Lol. Btw i am only 30, much respect for the older generation(s)!
       
      For me, well... If i would have found this 5-6 years ago, i would have said I am new to Wheel Horse. That is about the time my dad bought the 312-8 (that i now own). That purchase and talking to my dad about implements/attachments that i could purchase is what got me so interested in wheel horse. 
       
      Like i mentioned, i started with a 312-8. When i purchased from my dad, it came with a mower pan and a snowblower (wrong model tho). Wisconsin winters were brutal and a regular snowblower was taking me 2+ hours to clear the driveway. Thats when i bought my B-100, included in that deal was a mower pan and a plow. Boy... that B-100 has plowed a lot of snow. I love it. 
       
      I had also bought 2 lack luster tillers at some auctions. Well, that made me look for a tiller attachment. Found one relatively close and went to go look. $200 later, i had a tiller loaded into my truck and i had asked if he had the tillers mount for the rear axle. He said he wasnt sure, but he has a wheel horse sitting in the back. Told me to go look. 
       
      I look over this 854, and there is no rear mount. Just as im getting up, he asks if i want the tractor. I said i only got the $200 i gave you. He said free of charge. And thats how i gained my 854. (854s hood is in my shop)
       
      I want to start restoring my wheel horses, pretty paint, new decals, clean them up. I am proud of what i own. 
       
      And now im looking at getting a D200 with FEL and a backhoe. Its a sketch time to buy but i could use the tractor for house and cabin work. 
       
      Pics are attached. Please ignore the messes. They aint the prettiest tractors, but they all run.

      Been a long time since I posted. Hope everyone is doing well. 
      I work doing HVAC In a medical center and have been working quite a bit. 
      Anyway my son and I made a run to the local salvage yard today to cleanup all the scrap steel that’s been laying around. My wife was happy to see us finally getting some money for our junk instead of paying to get rid of it. Well..... it cost us $20 but we got another horse. 
      let’s see how this goes. 
      312-8 with SD deck. 
    • ZebraIII
      By ZebraIII
      I picked up a 1989 312-8 and have it in pretty good shape after a couple weeks of paint & detailing.
      I do need to replace a spindle shaft on the deck.
      I started looking at the manuals here and realized that the deck was not from a 1989 machine.
      The closest match I can find is a 1973-1975 42" SD #5-1010, but the illustrations show the height adjustment lever & mechanism as being on the left side of the deck, mine is located on the right.
      Can anyone help to identify this deck?
      Thanks in advance!
