What size deck on this 310-8

Recommended Posts

watercross

Just got a new 310-8 (out of trash and almost mint - just needed a battery) and it has a rear discharge deck. Tractor at cottage so can not messure it. Are there different size rear discharge decks for this model or just one. If so what size is it? Thanks

only 2 RD decks a 36" and a 42" the 36" will only have one roller in the front, the 42" will have 3 rollers one in the middle front and the others out near the sides.

Thanks. Then it must be the 42 inch as there are two wheels on the rear behind the deck. That is good.

not the wheels, but rollers on the front near the sides, all the WH decks have the rear wheels.

There is a pic. This baby was just put at the curb. Just needed fresh gas, a left tire and battery. Not one spec of rust. Owner even helped me load it on my trailer. Was grampas and never seen rain.

I found this on Monday night on memorial day at my cottage. Was really excited as I knew it was a real tractor. Did not write the serial number down as I did not know where it was so no idea what year it is. Any idea what year it is? What it is worth and how well does this mower work with a roto tiller attachment? Might get one and try it on some food plots? Is ths 310-8 a good model? I figure the "10" in 310 is the size hp engibe but what is the "-8"?

Great find there and a great price to boot! I would have to say that it is worth maybe $300-$400. It would do good with a tiller. The 310-8 is a good model of tractor. The 300 series tractors are all very good quality. I have a 312-8 and just love it!

Yes it will run a tiller, year about mid 80's 85-87 value, if I had it here I would clean it up replace the seat and give it a once over so it ws ready to use and it would sell for $500-600 easy.

Wow, That is a great find. I can't believe it was going to get trashed. What a waste that would've been.

I am lucky like that. I was just going to pick it up cause I figured it was worth $300 not running. Know people collect those. These owner said it just needs fresh gas and a battery. Bought the tire and battery. Guess I will have to get a seat too. Debating on a low or high back seat. It really is almost mint except for the tire and seat. I did not even clean it up in the pic. There was not even any wear where your feet go. Will post some more pics of my find.
