hi everyone, i met my friend RC about 20 years ago. he has done a lot of favors for me. so i decided to do something for him. i picked up this 312 off craigslist in CT. it came with a 42inch sd deck. the deck had one crack in it that the PO had welded up. i applied 2 coats of POR 15 to the underside of the deck. i sharpened the blades and greased the spindles. the tractor paint and decals were in pretty good shape. i had to replace the coil/module. all 4 tires needed replacement. i upgraded the front from 6 inch to the 16x6.50x8 size carlisle turfs.. the rears were 22x9x12, i put on 23x8.50x12's carlisle turfs. painted all 4 wheels silver. the axle seals had been leaking for a long time. the unidrive was a giant blob of dirt,grass clippings and oil. i spent mucho time cleaning it. i replaced the axle seals and refilled the unidrive with fresh 85w-90 weight gear oil. the shifter boot was in good shape. i added new fuel line with an inline filter. cleaned the carb too. new plug and fresh rotella T 30weight oil in the kohler. i added the dial-a-height feature. i painted a few odds and ends. new floor board mats. re-soldered the wires to the headlight so they work now. my friend RC was speechless when i delivered it to him and said" here is a wheelhorse for you." hope you guys like the pics. mike in mass.
