zeke37 24 #1 Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Hey looking to buy a new mower- this one looks nice- any input is great or this one which I really like but double the travel time (2.5 hours) Edited June 18, 2017 by Sparky Craigslist links deleted/per forum rules 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas Todd 1,025 #2 Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Unless you have a need for the Johnny Bucket I would go with the first one. I have no idea how easy they are to dismount the bucket. The engine that came on the 310-8 should have been a magnum and that 12 K301 is a 1977, based on the spec number. It may be just fine though. No way of knowing how many hours are on it, neither of em say. It doesn't appear the 310-8 comes with a mower deck. The 312-8 is probably an 85 or 86 as that's the only years they put the K301 on them. Magnums after that. The belt guard on the right of the 312-8 is from something else. Doesn't match the factory one on the left. If it runs and doesn't smoke, that price seems reasonable, of course I would try to get it for 3 bills. If ya need to mow, door #1. If you need a Johnny bucket, door #2... Just my .02 Edited June 18, 2017 by Texas Todd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 60,348 #3 Posted June 18, 2017 The first one with the mower deck is the best value by far. The one with the Johnny bucket looks like it has been "rode hard and put away wet". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeke37 24 #4 Posted June 19, 2017 yes, i'd like the bucket but really need to mow, and it's cheaper and much closer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
