WHC-125 4 #2 Posted August 25, 2009 Greg, I would just find a hydro instead of going through all of that I have a nice GT 14 without a motor if you want a hydro :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Fanatic 49 #3 Posted August 26, 2009 I just did the opposite yesterday, converted a 312-A to an 8 speed. Took me about four hours. I had everything I needed already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #4 Posted August 26, 2009 It would be easier to find a tractor with a bad motor and swap engines, because you will just about need a whole tractor to get all the parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 10,981 #5 Posted August 26, 2009 I've done it, and it isn't hard at all. The center "console/column" area is stamped for either setup. NO mods needed. But the catch is as has been said- Be sure to have all the parts. Maybe a donor tractor with a blown engine? Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
