JimSraj 429 #1 Posted April 2 I’ve been looking for (and still am) a good 78345 deck shell for a 310-8 that came my way. Been working on the one that came with it but it’s got a twist in it that I’m having trouble undoing. Anyway, in my search I came across this original owner, 842 hr. 312-8 with a good deck and what appears and sounds like a really nice running 12 hp Magnum. It is completely dry all around the engine. It does have a slow leak at the break shaft that I’ll have to get after at some point. PO did a nasty color repaint for some strange reason. I dislike the color but he actually did a nice job of the painting. Gotta give it the ‘new to me list’ go over to see if I missed anything when looking it over before I bought it. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he did a good job, then fixing the color will be far easier if you go that route... Looks great from here regardless! Nice save! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice set of correct 312-8 decals would really pop on that one, make the paint job less of a focal point. And add the black painted section on the front of the hood below the headlights 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,362 #7 Posted April 2 At least it's not yellow and green It does look like a nice paint job. Like Sparky posted some decals and enjoy it like it is. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimSraj 429 #9 Posted April 2 I like the decal idea. Thanks for that suggestion. Maybe I’ll just repaint the front black as it was and get the decals. Gotta get to the new to me list first though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
