JAinVA 4,638 #1 Posted May 20, 2020 I spotted this on CL and thought it could some TLC. It is a 312-8 built in 94.It is missing the starter and some other bits but is mostly intact.It has the 1 1/8" axle transaxle so it has potential.The best part is it was only a few miles up the road. 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kasey54 305 #3 Posted May 20, 2020 Don't pay a lot , but they are good tractors. I think it has the 6 inch fronts with longer spindles. I have a 310-8 does nice with a push blade, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 10,781 #8 Posted May 20, 2020 Looks like some rubbing compound and new decals might go a long way to cleaning it up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,362 #11 Posted May 21, 2020 Can't beat the price . Does it run or is it going to be a work in progress ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,638 #12 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I don't know if it runs.I am putting an m16 back together from a just a block and crank so I need a lot of the engine parts.I'm not sure what to do with it but i started with this 312a some time ago and made this out of it.

JAinVA 4,638 #14 Posted May 21, 2020 Some times I get carried away.The ugly 3112-8 was just rolled into the truck bed and the thing put in gear.I ran the east coast route from Maine to Va many trips and the PA DOT was always checking so I just got in the habit 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,362 #15 Posted May 21, 2020 The knuckle head that own the El Camino before I got it decided to transport a riding mower with the tail gate down , no tie downs and left in neutral. Wondered why the mower fell out in the middle of the street and bend the hell out of the inside of the tail gate. My son always me why I used so many straps and rope on any load I move. I seen too many accidents caused by people not securing their loads. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
