Bought the tiller a few years later.

A lot of money for it for the time.DSCN5288.JPG.e65b218148f95477208f1b2e6726c075.JPG

Haven't seen one on the local craigslist here in Belgium, but I bet the asking price wouldn't be far from that...

Copy of my receipt when I bought my 312-8 in June of 1989. Been a great machine. And a picture of it's first of many coats of wax going on right after delivery.

My dad's 87 312-8 has been in my shed for the past five years and I love it.  Call it Clyde because it's a workhorse.  I too have the original receipt and paperwork from when he bought it.

Going through my old literature while planning the restoration of my Wheel Horse.DSCN5287.JPG.dd0ec6dcd8d537315e1f1edf3349551f.JPGjeepdan it is certainly a small world. I have a 312-8 that came from Linton’s Power Equipment as well. The original owner was my wife’s uncle. I got it through his son.

My '89 312-8 came with the 37" SD deck I'm the second owner and have all of is paper work has 605 hr and looks about like yours. While I flip flop back and forth over which of all my WH's I own or owned is my favorite all around tractor it usually comes down to the 312-8 or the '77 B80-8 :dunno:
