Besides working in my workshop I sometimes have, or want, to make improvements to it and I figured in this topic I would take you along for the ride.
First off today was installing a new door and doorframe. The old one was rotted and starting to fall to pieces, literally.
My dad made a sweet doorframe out of stainless steel and I repurposed a hardwood door that came out of our home when we renovated the place. Still needs paint but should be good for a few decades I'd say.
Old door with flaky paint and rotten underside.
New stainless steel doorframe and repurposed hardwood door.
Next up was lighting. Few years ago I got some freebie fluorescent lamps but they were old and dying one by one. Having to replace the tubes and/or starters regurarly got kinda lame.
Since Black Friday is now also a thing around here I snatched a good deal one some LED units which can be daisy chained up to 20 units.
I ordered six of these lamps for about $80,-
As a test I installed one.. can you spot it?
What can I say? Bright as day!
Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark

What is a good replacement rim for the fronts since you can no longer get the stuff from Toro. Been looking. Not much luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi First post looking for a cutting deck for an early 90's 312-8
Serial number 3112K801 11877
How big of a deck can I use ?
The original deck was a side discharge ? (42 I think )
In addition to the deck I need the assembly for the pulley assembly for the front of the tractor.
Does anyone have a picture they can post of the correct deck ?
Are these parts available new ?
Thank You for your help

So I was using my tractor 312 WH and it just all of a sudden died out. I first thought it ran out of fuel going to check that fuel was fine. So I made sure the line was clear and that fuel was able to get to the filter. I checked the spark plug change that out and check the oil which also looks fine. It acts like it wants to start but it won't stay running. When I check the fuses one of them was destroyed and actually melted into the fuse block. This is what it looked like below. I got a new fuse and a different fuse holder just to try to see if. Still nothing. I know it has to be something that was before that fuse that either overloaded it or that that fuse was messed up in that fuse holder somehow and it kept grounding out. when I got the tractor they told me it had a new battery in it but it was dying every now and then on me and I thought that was kind of weird so I assumed there was a loose ground somewhere. I don't know if it was in that fuse or not but it kind of makes sense due to the way that the fuse looks.
I thought I'd try here first to see what any of you had for me to try. I mean I'm not scared of Chase and wires and try and things out I just thought of someone knew of something that I could check write-off and I would try. The wire color going to that fuse was purple or Violet which ever. Anyway any help is appreciated.
