:text-welcomeconfetti: Nice looking first Wheel Horse you have there. I started out partial to the older models but have recently began looking for for a newer tractor like yours. Beware though as like others have said these little guys do like to multiply. Good luck with your new Horse

One thing for sure if they don't multiply they ain't Wheel Horses.

Everyone keeps warning me that these things multiply. Should I be worried?

There is no known  vaccine  to prevent it and no known cure. The dreaded WHA is spreading uncontrollable.

HeyMrP

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Already found a lift spring (ordered) and rerouted my blower belt correctly thanks to your help. I'll be using, tinkering, and beautifying her and will be sure to keep ya'll updated!

:text-welcomeconfetti: to :rs:MrP.  I know I'm late on this subject but be sure to put your lift rod stud in the TOP hole of the tractor's lift arm.  It makes the blower raise much easier than if in the hole below.  Don't ask me how I found that out!!!  Over and over!!!

By the way, where in Michigan are you located?  I'm in Kalamazoo.

I'm in Kimball. I only see one hole for the spring to go in. I'm about to go install it. Will take a pic and post for folks to confirm I got it right! That will be in a thread I started in the implements forum.

The only thing that stops me from many tractors is money, and the many other hobbies I am involved with.  Welcome to Red Square, become a supporter ( in the store section at the top of the page) and you will be able to add many pictures.  This is a great group, and amazing knowledge.

I was not referring to the spring.  I was talking about the lift rod stud (sometimes referred to as the flag) and the hole you put it in on the lift arm.

Kimball....you're almost in Canada, but then most of us Michiganders are also!

      Newbie here. 310-8 won't start. Battery is dated 10/19. Did crank a couple times but started losing ummph. Should I replace it or attempt to charge it? Can't tell if the battery is frozen. Never knew until today that batteries could freeze and that it's dangerous to charge a frozen battery. It's been single digits with wind chill the last couple weeks here.

      Soo couple of years back did a pulley change on the tranny from 6 inch to 4.5 and used a 1/2 X 79 belt to make it work and it worked fairly well but wanted to get back to a 5/8 drive belt so went to a 5/8 x 81 inch belt and added a second flat Idler pulley. I simply cannot believe how smooth and sharp it shifts and drives now!  The added flat Idler was 2 3/4" with a 5/8ths bore used and existing hole on the side shroud and just opened it up a bit. I use to slip a bit on steep hill with the 79" slips no more, the belt drives and the clutch is  LOT smoother and in the right pedal area.... Will see how it holds up cut 3/4 of an acre of grass yesterday NO issues.

      So I was out mowing the other day with my 310-8 and somehow snagged my wheel in a hole in the yard. Anyways I pretty much destroyed my ball joints. I've since replaced the tie rod with junkyard parts but I was wondering if anyone's found a heavy duty aftermarket replacement for the tie rod assembly.
       
      Like would generic adjustable go-kart tie rods do the trick?

      so I spent a few hours today welding up a custom front weight bracket for my 310-8. It has two and a half inches of ground clearance with a generic 12 inch weight bolted on. 
       
      so the question is, how well do y’all think the 300 series front axle will hold the weight? It’s only 50lbs so it’s lighter than the snowblower it has to hold up in winter so I don’t think I’ll have any problems. And I really don’t intend on using it constantly.
