wallfish 16,994 #5 Posted June 28, 2023 How about sharing what you guys have for tractors? Maybe some pics too 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuckracer 24 #6 Posted June 28, 2023 Dad has a 310-8 he bought new in '88, along with the mower, a snow blade and a trailer. I've tried to steal it but he's 11 steps ahead of me so I'm buying my own hopefully very soon! 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,067 #7 Posted June 28, 2023 When you say Upstate you really mean UP! I'm in the Fingerlakes right between Rochester and Syracuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuckracer 24 #9 Posted June 29, 2023 Oh wow...you guys are Downstate! Ok, I won't poke this bees nest any further. I've seen some pretty hilarious conversations on other forums on this topic. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 12,213 #11 Posted June 29, 2023 And I’m “downstate” or “lower Hudson Valley” about 35 miles from NYC. Members here are all over! Hilarity is many years ago having someone from NYC tell me that he was driving “upstate" to Rochester the next day for an afternoon meeting and thought it would take maybe 3 or 4 hours. Actual distance is about 375 miles via the best route then available (NYS Thruway) with the 55 mph speed limit still being enforced. Good luck, I said. He missed the meeting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coming in waves. First it isn't too bad then it's like a fog. We dodged a pretty big bullet last week for the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,968 #21 Posted July 2, 2023 Hard to beat a 310 for a good, basic, all around tractor. I see some new mule drive pulleys are in order. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuckracer 24 #22 Posted July 3, 2023 Yup, $49 each from a local dealer who usually stocks them but had to order. Looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jay bee 896 #23 Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) You can find a set on the auction site for about $65 for both. I’ve bought a couple sets there from Adam’s Small Engines. Fast shipping and great customer service. Just search wheel horse mower deck mule drive pulley set. Edited July 3, 2023 by jay bee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
