Kevbo 80 #1 Posted December 11, 2012 Hi everyone I have found a 310-8 that I might go look at but it needs a starter solenoid, battery, and a blade for the deck. He is asking $300 OBO so my question to you all would be...how much can I get away with offering? Can tell me a little more about the 310-8? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevbo 80 #4 Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks Kelly! I agree and I'm unsure if I could hear it run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #5 Posted December 12, 2012 $300 for it if it runs could be a good deal. We just need to see some pics first. Do you have any??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevbo 80 #6 Posted December 12, 2012 I'll see if I can get them posted tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,978 #8 Posted December 12, 2012 Yeh, I saw that one too. I was tempted, but I already have 6 project Horses waiting for work, an no more room in my workshop. I'd ask how he knows it only needs a selenoid. Doesn't sound like a difficult repair, and he should have done it himself if he wanted to sell it. Take a battery and jumper cables along with you, and have him try to start it. Based on some hints I saw in the picture, it might have more problems than just a selenoid. Last time I bought a WH not running, I paid only $60 for it (Raider 12). The body on the 310 didn't look too bad. Start low, and negotiate. Offer $100, and see what his reaction is. I agree that $150 to $200 would be a good price if you don't find anything serious wrong with it. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,967 #10 Posted December 12, 2012 Kevbo, thats not a bad looking 310. See if you can get it started by just jumping out the starter relay, or borrow a relay from someone and see if that is the problem. The mowing deck looks good from the picture. If the mowing deck is good, and everything else looks good I would ask the guy if he would take $250 for it as is. If he said yes, I would put the money in his hand, push the 310 on a trailer and take it home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
