thehorse 221 #1 Posted April 21, 2013 Went and picked up the 315-8 today. 2005 with 97 hrs. Electric pto......that's a first for me. After a going over, I believe the voltmeter is broken. It shows 12 volts not started and peg put when it is. The lift chain was attached but when I used lift arm the chain fell free. Cotter pin came off. Not to bad! http://s737.photobucket.com/user/LenHaduck/media/image-11.jpg.html http://s737.photobucket.com/user/LenHaduck/media/image-10.jpg.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thehorse 221 #12 Posted April 22, 2013 I already have the 416-8 underway....another restore might kill me. I like doing it but lack patience. http://s737.photobucket.com/user/LenHaduck/media/image-12.jpg.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,523 #16 Posted April 22, 2013 It is a beauty. The only problem is you will miss all the fun of restoring it. There is always plenty of "stuff" to do! And now, have to pickup a few items; i.e.: dozer, mid grader, wagon, Claxton horn, rotating yellow light, FM stereo, cowboy hat! More! Nice Stallion! Change the tranny fluid, engine oil, belts, touch up paint, clean 'lectric terminals. Restoration is an on-going project! Mow the lawn today too! PS. Add a reverse beeper to let all know you're backing up. Safely! PSS. Jack: There's always plenty to do! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
