RandyLittrell 3,827 #1 Posted April 25, 2017 I picked up a nice 310-8 this weekend from a guy up north of KC. He said you guys would know him by Wheel Horse Rick. He had the NOS tractors that he sold to Larry. Super nice guy, we had a nice chat. He told me this was a 1985 and it looks like its 5 years old instead of 32 to me. Very happy with it and it mows like a dream! He is some pics and you guys can tell me what you think. I think I will put some tail lights in place of the reflectors and I need to move the seat back cause I am a fatboy! Randy 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #4 Posted April 25, 2017 Very nice tractor, Randy. Real nice. You did good. It looks like it was well taken care of. It would be good to see it in person at this year's Mid-Mo meet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,147 #5 Posted April 25, 2017 Be careful when you add taillights. Probably will have to use older incandescent units. i believe most LED types require 12v DC. Your tractor has a 3 amp unregulated charging system with a 70 watt AC lighting circuit. Lights only work when engine is running. You could use LEDs but you would have to run them of the battery with a separate switched circuit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna have to do some reading on that. Thanks for the heads up! Randy Edited April 26, 2017 by RandyLittrell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,827 #7 Posted April 26, 2017 Anybody know what deck this is? Its a 36" or 37" cut and it is a rear and side discharge. I have looked on the deck and don't see a model # or I don't know where to look. I have searched a bunch of manuals, but don't see one just like it. Thanks, Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
