Got to play a little today with the 308-8

Recommended Posts

Well I bought it with a sheared/missing engine pulley key-way. I really only heard it run for a minute or two when it made so much racket when the shaft was spinning while the pulley stayed put. A stop at Home Depot and $1.64 later with a little time and a quick battery charge she purrs like a kitten... Put a plow bracket I purchased from Red Cow underneath and a 42" plow I got from Commando1 and pushed a little dirt and rocks around. Sweet running little tractor... I wonder was size deck it would handle???

they typically handled 36" rear discharge, and 37" 2 blade side discharge decks.

That 308 will handle a 37" sd with ease. Will also push a belly grader blade with ease as well. Looks like your 308 is an 87 model if I'm not mistaken. Mine has the full red nose treatment as its an 86 model.

mine came with a 42,(my red hood) and it mowed my lawn for 15 years before i blew an auxillarly port hole in the block,if you keep up to the lawn it will push a 42,but if you have a choice go the 36 or 37 as stated allready

Moved 3 loads of dirt and a bunch of gravel. Really surprised how well it does. Started right up so I don't think I'll have to put a battery in it after all.
