all4glh 0 #27 Posted March 28, 2011 My best mower is my 310-8. Of course I have no other Wheelhorse to compare it to. Only time it's ever ran out of power is a 10" or more of heavy (wet) snow on my single stage blower. But, you go slow enough and it trucks through it without issue. Can't wait to see your pics, sounds like it's in good condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 10,981 #30 Posted March 28, 2011 Congratulations on the 310-8 purchase. I have one, and it is my most dependable tractor regardless of what work it's doing. It mows, plows, or tills all day long with no complaints. Both Tractors should have tranny #110996 which is a 4 pinion with 1 1/8 axles.. This would be incorrect. Both machines should have 1 inch axles, but the 310-8 most definitely has 1 inch axles. Personally, I have never seen (not to say they do not exist) a 312-8 with the larger axles, unless it was a hydro. All of the Eaton-equipped hydros (late-model Cs and 300/400/500 series) came with the heavy axle and differential. As previously mentioned, some of the later 314-8 and all of the 315-8 models had the 1.125 axles, but none of the 310-8 models did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgjks6 6 #31 Posted March 28, 2011 Wheel Horse musta made a lots of transmission combinations. I was interested in the 1 vs 1 1/8 inch axles and found that in 1993, the 312's had the bigger axles, but not the 310's. They only had a 4 pinion diff though. The decals also said "classic" which goes along with the description. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Specs say it has the 8 pinion diff too. Well I'm not about to crack the tranny to prove anyone right or wrong. It does a great job plowing gravel and grading the driveway!

dgjks6 6 #38 Posted March 31, 2011 I like it. Looks to be in good shape. Just a question, what are the holes under the head lights for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeMonag 1 #39 Posted April 1, 2011 if you get me the model #, Ican get you the year, and trans. #. It should be something like: 21-10K803. The 21tells you it is a 3 series, the 10 is the HP, the 8 means 8 speed trans, the 03 is the year. 01 is an '85, 02 and 03 are '86s, 04 is an '87 ,05 is an '88, 06 is an '89. In 1990 the model # changed to 31-10K801, 02 was a '91,03 was a '92. The model # change again is '93 to all numerical :73320. From my records it look like '93 was the last year they made a 10 hp tractor. On the early years they used the K series engines and in '87 they started useing the Magnum series engines. The ignition type varies with the engine and year. Good luck with your 310, Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
