Wheel Horse 312

[Ny Horse 28]

Hey guys,  I'm brand new to this forum and wanted to start with a question. I can buy a decent model 312 locally for $400 or less, is this a decent price for this Tractor. 

Looks like it needs a seat and may need a few other things here and there.  Thanks!

 Members with more knowledge than me will chime in shortly but pictures help a lot when trying to determine condition / value.

    I grew up in Kirkville, just east of Syracuse. Presuming the engine and transmission are in good condition and it has good tires it is a fair price. If it comes with a mower deck or other equipment the deal gets sweeter. As Walt said;

Thanks,   Yes it comes with the mower deck and looks like it has Wheel weights on it as well. Looks like it needs some paint here and there and a little routine maintenance.

Wheel weights alone generally sell for $ 100 + and a good mower deck will run you $ 150 ore more, Deal is looking better.

Not too bad, looks like it was running in the second photo, I like the rear discharge deck too.    The drive belt for the mower should be moved to the larger pulley on the PTO.

Are you going to buy both of them.

I asked about the second one and he said that it is a bit bigger but wasn't sure of the model. I would like one with rear pto or at least a 3 point hitch but I'm thinking I might have to go to a larger series. I REALLY want a D series with the front and rear pto and 3 point but they are not easy to find.

Thanks I think I will..........i heard a guy on YouTube saying that he runs a tiller with his 312. Must be a front mount tiller, right?

does the 312 have the hydro lift in the rear or was that an option?

8 speed would have manual lift. You could possibly find an electric lift for it.

Are those Craftsman wheel weights? Do you know what model they are?

 

Thanks!

I think anything that fires up and drives around is worth $2-300.  If it has any attachment or accessory then $300+.  Condition, age, more HP and attachments beyond a deck push higher still.  It is possible to find deals.  I just bought this for $150.  Yesterday I drove it on the truck, off the truck and mowed my lawn.  The weights are why I bought it.  Or at least icing on the cake!

 You done really good there Dennis.
