BOWTIE 226 #1 Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) I FOUND THIS ONE10 MILES AWAY ON CL LAST NIGHT FOR $500. I LOOKED AT IT LAST NIGHT AND BOUGHT FOR $400. IT IS A 1988 312-8 WITH 615 HOURS. HE WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER ON THIS ONE. THE TRACTOR CAME WITH A 2002 42" MOWER DECK, HE BOUGHT NEW IN 2009 FROM THE DEALER FOR $600 WITH MULE SET UP AND THE DECK STILL HAS RED PAINT UNDERNEATH TRACTOR RUNS GOOD AND MOWS GOOD. NEEDS A GOOD BATH AND POLISH AND THE SEAT WILL NEED REPLACED. THIS ONE WILL BE ONE OF WINTER PROJECTS.

DoctorHfuhruhurr 137 #4 Posted November 10, 2013 Just curious, did they say why they were getting rid of it? It's obviously in good shape with lots of life left. I'm always curious what people replace Wheel Horses with (IF they are replacing them). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #5 Posted November 10, 2013 A nice find.. You can't beat a 312-8, they are great "all round" machines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #6 Posted November 10, 2013 Very nice Horse! A little groomin' and the Stallion will show off a bit. Ditto curious. Why did the PO let the Horse go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 23,166 #8 Posted November 10, 2013 Did it come with a bagging setup...looks like the mounting arms for a bagger hanging off the back. Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #9 Posted November 10, 2013 More than made up the cost of the tractor with the deck! Good one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOWTIE 226 #10 Posted November 10, 2013 HE SOLD THE TRACTOR FOR A NEW ZERO TURN MOWER. HE DIDN'T NEED A TRACTOR ANYMORE. THE TRACTOR WHEN NEW CAME WITH A 37" DECK WITH A BAGGER SET-UP. THE OLD DECK AND BAGGER WAS PITCHED. THE BRACKET IS STILL ON THE TRACTOR, I WILL TAKE IT OFF AND SELL IF ANYBODY NEEDS IT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
