Wheel-N-It 2,967 #1 Posted September 27, 2012 Hey Guys: Now that I'm a semi high tech Redneck (and have figured out how to post pics), here are some pics of my 312-8 I bought new in April 1991. Not the greatest pics, and cell camera lens probly could use some Windex. Quality should get better as I get more practice. The 312 is better looking in real life than in these pics, and I'll post some sharper ones later. Next I will send some pics of the 417-A. Also will post some pics of JD 140 H3 and IH Cub Cadet 1650 in "Other" section of RS. Enjoy! Van 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,967 #5 Posted September 27, 2012 Thank you for the kind words. Notice I have upgraded both the front and rear wheels. The front wheels are now 8inch. Jayin NC helped me with that project (Great Guy). The rears wheels and tires are from a 520H. The rear wheel weights are from a 1950's Simplicity walk behind lawn tractor that belonged to my Grandfather. The seat is a Northern Tool replacement. I had to redrill/relocate the mounting points in the seat bracket assembly to get the seat away from being too close to the steering wheel. The seat is very comfortable and I recommend it to anyone wanting to do an upgrade. I also have a tiller for it. This 312 has been almost unbelieveably reliable. The 312-8speeds are one of Wheel Horse's better tractors IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
