Picked up this 308-8 for my girlfriend's son's first tractor today. I have an extra under the fender tank off a 310-8 that I'd like to put on it to use instead of the little 1 gallon on the engine. Has anyone done this and any advice? Thanks!

Intake manifold leaks, ignition module failures, non adjustable carbs, governor spacer sliping on high hour engines, dumb connecting rod design, 9 pin burn ups. Still I like them, but I love an underdog. Most issues are repairable unless a connecting rod snaps. Parts are expensive and some are hard to find. With either machine, plan on an engine swap if the engine blows.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
ineedanother replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Pressure washed a bunch of stuff after work. Love-hate relationship there for me. 16 Auto, FEL sub-frame, a bunch of parts and these front weights that took two years to pry out of my brother's hand's They'll be Regal red soon. -
The Onan hasn't caused me any trouble so far. In what way is it temperamental?
-
It's a Series 1.

Well @HyperPete, you're a bit like me. Nothing is plug and play but you've got the bones in the right places so you'll just have to tune it up. Make sure the axle bracket is in a good place. The casting on the uni-drive has some good and bad places to settle on. I think you're fine with where you're bolted in to the lift lever (lowest) but chain length and attachment to the tiller from the rock shaft is what you need to dial in. Check the axle bracket placement. Get rid of the spring assist until you have it all settled, it could be rocking the tiller off level. Make sure the tiller attachment isn't bent or twisted (I doubt it is, but eyeball it) Tune in the high and low on the lift (with the slots on the rock shaft) and then put the lift assist spring back on. It probably won't lift exactly level depending on wear because it doesn't lift from center.

some jobs are best left to tractor

Okey Doke for non believers. I could have done a better job cleaning up the straggler grass by mowing on the return trip, but didn't want to throw cut grass on the roadway. Makes the motorcyclists wary of grass slick surface. The skid marks on the road arn't from me going through the gears on the 520. They from last fall when I had a camper trailer brake locking up. That prompted new shackle bolts, repairing trailer brakes and repacking wheel bearings. Now, if I just had time to go camping. Retired for three years and spend less time camping than when I was working. Guess I should go back to work? -
Hahahaha I thought the same. Was a female surgeon she put her signature on top of where she was doing surgery so her coworkers knew she oked it Crazy right

26 times. Record is 37 times in Jackie Brown. Would you believe 171 times in a total of 27 movies.
-
Ok few! Mine looks the same. I thought i had just got the new guy!
-
Lucky for me had mine right after Thanksgiving and the snow was light that winter so I dont think I saw any seat time till the following spring. Out of work for 12 weeks and light duty got 6 months?
-
I have arrangements to pick that one up on Saturday morning. Plans are to pass it on to my BIL as a thank you for several things that he helps me out with. Not sure why the status on that has not been changed.
-
Alright how long was it till you could sit and least joy ride on a tractor ? And man how long was your recovery time had to be a while
-
Ohhh yea give me a 6 pack of that double nooo way man. No way. They did mine robotic or w.e they call it
-
Had double few years back. Not at all enjoyable. Good luck with your recovery!
-
Quite possible. It needs torn down and gone through soon anyway. Its got a few problems. Maybe a K-141 or 161 swap?
-
Spent the last few days cleaning up my tree line along the property. Wheel horse is definitely a big helper. Loaded up the trailer about 12 times to drive it all down the the big pile. Going to be getting a chipper here in a few days to make it all go away. Coming along nicely, I can finally walk into my tree line.

You have the Eaton 700 transaxle Do as @JoeM mentioned above to service your transaxle.

@Redman408 I've acquired several Sears Suburban attachments that need a new home, if you ever travel or know someone traveling to Texas 2-3 Complete 3 Point Hitches - (sandblaster and primed) 3 Point Disc, Grader Blade, Furrow Plow, Row Plow I also have 4 Sears rear wheel weights I use. but would swap for other brand similar weights

Better to use a floating ground on aluminum.

Come on Ed, you know they wouldn't make it that logical. In the case of the 1985 314A it is a 700 but the 417A and 418A both came with the 1100 and the 516H had an Eaton 700. The only hard and fast rule with Wheel Horses is there are no hard and fast rules.
