AHS 1,695 #1 Posted yesterday at 01:01 AM Good day all!! So, I went for a ride after church to a 312, way to rusted 42” RD and a long shute snowblower. The add said it ran, $275. Well, I got there…. And it ran fantastic. The old owner had changed the oil and put in a fuel filter, bonus!! It had a flat rear tire, starter switch (battery and solenoid!), an un torn seat and steel wheel weights! The snowblower was about a B-/ C+ in letter grade. The deck, so sad, it was unusable from the start!! So we struck a deal and i headed for home. The tire got changed right after i got it off the trailer and the starter switch got deleted shortly there after!! New spark plug, air filter, shift boot, rear end fluid and hot paint on the exhaust. I gotta do a new drive belt, because that belt has seen its day!! So, how I do for $170!! 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MainelyWheelhorse 2,835 #2 Posted yesterday at 01:19 AM (edited) Looks good from what I can see. Great bones to start with. If you want to put it back to stock it’s missing the hour meter on the bottom right. But for $170 you made out great. I’ve got an identical tractor that I mow with that as long as it has gas, spark and air it goes and goes.

Since the DC charge meter worked, i knew it had power! The tail lights even worked! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve got the hour meter for the C-141 project’s engine and everything else has a working one or never had one so I don’t need it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
