need help finding some parts for my 310-8

Recommended Posts

Tractorman1

I am currently fixing up my late grandfathers 310-8, but I am having trouble locating some of the replacement parts. 

  • I am looking for both front (15x6.00-6) and rear (22x7.5-12) tires. I have cleaned up and painted the rims, but now need tires to go on them and I am having some trouble finding these size tires.
  • I am looking for a new muffler. The old one had holes rusted through it and I had to drill out one of the screws to get it off. If anyone knows where I can find a new muffler and screws for it, or how to modify a different muffler to fit on the tractor.
  • I am looking for a new gas cap, preferably one with out a fuel level gauge at the top. 
  • I was also wondering if there was a specific brand of oil that you would recommend for the engine? 

If anyone has links to, or knows any information about these topics it would be greatly appreciated if you could share that info with me.

I have had good luck with finding tires online.  you do have some wiggle room ( +/- 0.5") on the tire size with your rim.   I'm a fan of the Carlisle tires.

There are vendors here who may offer some of the other components you are looking for, like a muffler.

I purchased a gas cap with level gauge from an online seller and I use whatever oil is on sale!  I do not use synthetic.

first of all- kudos to you for breathing new life into your granddad's tractor- i've been loving mine since i bought them late last year. i've been able to find everything for both my 312-8's on amazon:

 

i've personally bought 2 of these gas caps and have been very happy with them https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OK4HJ0/
for mowing tires- i like Carlisle turf savers. the fronts will be easy to find but that rear size is a little less common.

i've not used this muffler, and it would send the exhaust "backwards" but it is meant to fit Kohler engines that are fitted in Cub Cadets and might work for you https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OKBDOW

as far as oil- use what's cheap and available and change it on schedule, and i believe in dino-oil over synthetic myself for tractors (my $.02)

 straight 30W for summer and 10W-30 for winter/snowblowing etc.

Just bought and had delivered 2 new Carlisle Turf Saver tires from Amazon.Mine are 23-9.50-12.I don't think the 22-7.50's  that you want are made anymore.The fronts you need are still available.When it was safe to go to stores,I've picked up several gas caps with-out gauge from the local Tractor Supply store.When you see the price of a new original muffler,you'll be looking for a used one or adapting one of those pepper shaker mufflers.Louder than stock.....but cheap.

For the rear I would just go with size 23x8.50-12... In the the end you'll never notice the difference as most tires today actually run a bit smaller than size stated. And as plus you have more tread varieties available. Turf, AG, All Trail ect.

I just bought fronts for my 310-8 from Amazon and put 23x8.50-12's on the rear. You can get the 23's from Amazon too or Walmart. Wally world has some decent tire prices.

      Wheel Horse parts collection. Many new-old stock and used parts for many models. Please make an appointment to view. No trades.
       
      There's a lot of parts for D-160 and the C series. This is a collection left behind by my Father, so I'm really not sure what part is what here. There's even a D-160 Tractor under a tarp in the backyard with a three point hitch. Hasn't run in a decade. I'll throw that in if you meet my price. 
       
      Willing to sell entire lot for $1850 obo

      Hi All, It's time for me to sell the D-250 I've had for the last 8 years.  It’s useable as is, or would be a great project bundle for further restoration.
       
      I am selling a large package: the running tractor, a refurbished snowblower (48”), parts snowblower, mower deck (60”), tiller (40”), front plow blade (60”), Cat 0 3-Point Hitch with adjustable top link, WH 3-Point tool bar, wheel weights and tire chains.  Also included is an extensive part collection, nearly a second tractor worth.  I will include the original manuals, an original 1976 sales brochure, and repair manuals for the tractor and the engine.  I made electronic copes of all of the above, and stored the paper copies to prevent further wear. This is one of the most complete D-250 tractor/attachment bundles I’ve seen.
       
      Some highlights from the available parts: Frame rails, extra engine, water pump, extra transaxle, extra gears, including worm gears (stored in oil bath), Front wheel set, carburetor, carb rebuild kit, rebuildable original radiator, extra radiator overflow bottle, rebuilt alternator, new voltage regulator (I was planning to change over to an alternator setup from the generator), new in package Renault engine seals, new PTO seals, ignition maintenance parts.  There are also many panels, frame pieces, cables, levers, tubes (lines) and hardware in the collection.
       
      The tractor engine runs smooth.  There are around 1050 original hours on it; It’s a 1976 edition.  Everything works, except the dash lights and the rear lights (disconnected b/c of fender).  I just haven't sorted out the wiring, but it is all there.  Headlights are good and working, as are all of the gears and levers.  The four tires are nearly new Carlisle Multi Trac, with nubs still on them.  The rear tires have been filled (ballasted) with Rim Guard for extra traction.  The hydraulic pump, front PTO clutch and brakes operate but could use a tune up.  I’ve used it for mowing and snowblowing on hills, driveway and around my land. I don’t have an original WH seat.  The snowblower was rebuilt a few years back, and assembled with all new hardware and bearings.  The mower deck gearbox was professionally serviced recently, and has a new set of blades with only a half dozen mows.  The rear fender needs a repair, but all pieces are available.  The plow and tiller are due for restoration.  The Points, Condenser and rotor have all been replaced and tuned in.  The battery is good.  I've rebuilt the carb, replaced the fuel pump and changed out the plugs within the last 30 hours.  The replacement radiator is from a Kawasaki engine; it was installed with new hoses. There are also new custom hydraulic hoses and a new hydraulic lift cylinder.
       
      Here's a video of me mowing, this past summer.
       
      Transporting this haul in one trip will require a pickup truck and a large trailer.

      Newbie here and I have a 520-H that runs, but needs some TLC and some minor things fixed and/or adjusted. It comes with a like new tiller that I believe has only been used once and has paint still on the tines. I am the 2nd owner and I have personally never used the tiller. I am selling my previous home that I rent and where it has been stored. My current home's yard just isn't big enough to use a rider and I need to find a new home for it. I want to sell them together to simplify and I need them gone in the next 2 weeks. Please reach out with any questions and I'll do my best to answer. I am definitely not as knowledgeable as most of you on this forum, but figured somebody would like to fix it up, part it out and/or needs a tiller. Please email or text.
