wvhunter 88 #1 Posted March 30, 2020 I can get this 312-8 without the deck, but does come with push blade,wheel weights,and tire chains.it has 874 hours on it, but he said he was pushing some gravel with it and it stopped running. he said when he sprayed starting fluid in carb it would run a little bit. I can get it for $250. do you think this is worth my time and money? he said it ran like a new one before it quit, TIA 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,677 #2 Posted March 30, 2020 If it runs on starter fluid it will run on gas, just needs some TLC. Buy it. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,314 #3 Posted March 30, 2020 Around here the plows bring 250 along.. I'd like to find one that nice for that kind of money around here for sure. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,769 #4 Posted March 30, 2020 $250 is the price for a dozer blade and wheel weights. So a free 312-8 If the POs story is true, it probably just needs a fuel system cleaning. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like it just needs A tuneup and may be a little carb work And it will be as good as new my opinion take the 250 cash with you and make an offer.
