    Ignition switch for 1988 312-8

    Yup, the NAPA Prime line switch works and it does have a shaft diameter of 9/16” rather than 5/8”. Comes with nut, washer and 2 keys. $32.

    Frozen starter bendix (ice)

    I think my wife has a heat gun, but it's somewhere in her craft room... I used to have a hair blow dryer that probably would have worked but since we moved, I have no idea where it would be

    Tire Recommendations for steep, snowy, mud

    Maybe a little off subject here and kind of nit picky - trivia, actually. I wonder if those tires would work a tad bit better if you swapped them right for left? As they are running in the picture, the self cleaning 'V' direction of the tread favors a powered application (snowthrower). Since the are now steering tires being driven by forward motion of the tractor, if the 'V' pattern on the tires was the other way, they might work better? I'd guess that 'working better' in this case would be a very small amount of 'better'.

    ST323 Chain

    I can assure you that the #40 chain I had in garage did not fit on the sprockets. And....the #40 master link I had didn't fit either.

    Electric fuel pump recommendations

    I laughed out loud at the "if you have decent hearing" part. For me at least, it would depend on who you ask... But I agree: you can definitely tell when the pump primes the system and you're ready to crank. No more cranking forever that kills the battery before gas even makes it to the carb...

    I guess it's true we (meaning me) can learn something new every day!

    Frozen starter bendix (ice)

    I recommend keeping an eye out for a good sale on a strong variable heat gun. Mine has temp and fan speed controls and cost about $60 a few years back. Way safer than an open flame anywhere near flammables like a fuel system (and yes, I realize it requires an extension cord for power--worth the trouble to me). Great, as well, for those shrink/solder connectors, thawing frozen pipes, and softening hoses being put onto nibs.

    D180 Oil Fill Cap Blew Off

    When you drain the oil of course you will look for signs of water, also take a Styrofoam cup and fill it with the used oil and let it sit for awhile. Any deterioration of the cup indicates the presence of gasoline.

    John Deere X530

    1987_WHEEHORSE312 We downsized a few years back and sold the tractor. It was great at moving a lot of snow. At our last home, the road in the subdivision would drift over and I’d go and blow the drift out before the snow contractor would arrive. Neighbors loved it. I miss blowing on a tractor. My new driveway only requires a walk behind.

    D180 Oil Fill Cap Blew Off

    found a cap and when I get that I'll probably change the oil for a just in case and see if it all checks out

    Got another one. A 416 this time.

    Fender ready to be installed. Fender hardware and seat gas lift bracket ready to be installed. Tractor ready for fender to be installed. Tail light connectors greased. Tail lights plugged in and fender sat in place ensuring no wires are pinched. Seat gas lift bracket loosely installed so fender can still be moved around. Electric tooth washer sat in place to ensure good ground for tail lights. All fender bolts loosely installed. Fender then properly aligned so the seat mount bolt holes and fuel fill locations are lined up. Fender bolts torqued to 120 in/lb. Fender installed. Fender installed tail lights turned on.

    You guys sure? I coulda swore it was 40. Could it be 41 for the older ones and 40 for the newer?

    Newer balance gears (after 9641310) have loose needles. Older ones are caged.

    ST323 Chain

    @ML3 NAPA , MACS , CHAIN / CABLE LUBE , never let that auger chain get dry , spray after / before any usage , also note the small idler belt pulley on the pto MUEL DRIVE SET UP ? typical dry / rusty bearing failure ? = increased belt drag , related clutch wear . is this adding up ? another thing , like a SNOW SLIDER vinyl gasket UNDER the chute swing base ? pam cooking spray , = smooth easy swing , REPEDITIVE, COLLECTIVE FAILURE , is showing you the way , apply this thought to any related tractor problem . only a suggestion , pete

    Where Is Richard?

    Same, noticed we didn’t get one yesterday.
  26. Yes!! I listen for that change in the tone of the pump, then i crank it. If you just crank it, you’ll be waiting for a while!!
