Kelly 1,028 #1 Posted January 24, 2010 I found a dump cart on CL fri. night it had been on for a few days so I figured it would be gone, in nice shape and not a bad price, but he still had it, it was 70 mile drive to get it sat. afternoon and cost $80 for the cart, Then sat night I found a ad that you had to read to belive I thought I couldn't spell, but anyway one owner (his grandmas) 12hp 8 speed old from the 80's good shape bagger, make offer, was the the basic ad, I called about 20 min. after it was posted, struck a deal for $250 sight unseen but I figured I could walk away, so I drove about 30 miles to get it still havn't heard it run but, I guess it probably does (raining and cold here and drive way is a muddy mess right now, so it sets on the trailer, little paint loss on the foot rest, and a small dent in the front lower hood, has the 37" deck with bagger, nice overall shape very nice seat, ect... only 319 hours on it. 1989 312-8 then I get a email from mowerman ( thanks Mowerman ) he has a buddy that has a dump cart he wants to sell but it's painted green, so I got ahold of the guy to look at it, pretty good shape but for the green paint, so another one for $45 this afternoon. Then comming home from getting the green cart, I spotted a WH blower in the weeds, so I stopped yup for sale $20 very ruff but came with 2 flags and the lift bar, one flag is new he lost the orig. and bought one only to find the other the next day, no pic's of the blower just a rusty blower, but the flags are always a good find. and a half tank of gas in the suburban about $30 to get all this stuff not to bad of a weekend.

Kelly 1,028 #6 Posted January 24, 2010 Update the 312 runs like a top, all I did was jump start it, ran good for setting in a garage for two years, even on the old gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dresden Guy 24 #9 Posted January 25, 2010 Kelly, If you haven't put the new horse in stable and it's still on the trailer, I can tell you how you can make a quick "HUNDO"....just let me come hook on to the trailer. Oh, I'll get your trailer right back the next day? How's that for for some quick profit??? Should I go ahead and head to MI??? With 50+ WHs you certainly have to be just about out of parking space, so look at my deal as a double bonus.!!!! I'll wait to hear from you......by the way, my grandma needs a good 312-8 for mowing her yard! GREAT ROAD TRIP!!!! The next time you head out, call me and I will follow behind to pick up any of your rejects. Well, the Vikings vs. Saints is coming on so will sign off. Brett Favre said if his team wins he will lead the team in singing "Pants On The Ground".
