betaxe 3 #1 Posted 2 hours ago hello there - got a 312-8 the other day and the previous owner made som modifications that im trying to undo. also im missing som parts and other things i dont think is for my machine or attachments. here are my questions: 1. how to i find out what year my 312-8 is from ? its missing the decals with serial number, the m12s engine serial starts with 17 and it may be from 1987 ? 2. i got a big bracket that i dont know what is for, its not for my cutting deck, snowthrower or the rototiller. 3. i got a smaller bracket that i also dont know is for, im missing the bracket that sits under the pto for my tiller, is there any one that has some messurements for it ? im thinking of making my own as getting used parts is kinda hard here in denmark where i live 4. the front pully assembly (mule drive?) is missing the nut and id like to know what size thread it has so i can buy a new one. 5: and lastly i think the linkage to the rear slot hitch is some homemade crap, it hits the rubber boot for the shift linkage, is that not supposed to be a wire ? can anyone tell me what the part number is for the complete cable im missing. there will more as i pogress on servicing the 312-8 as the previous owner has not been to kind to this tractor and i will get it to shape best regards kris from denmark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 6,785 #3 Posted 37 minutes ago Sorry cannot help you on this. Not my vintage. I am sure some one will help you that has better knowledge of that time frame tractor. There should be a I.D. Plate on the frame. Maybe next to the lift handle. Sorry that I could not help you more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
