RetroMower 349 #1 Posted May 13 (edited) Saw this on marketplace for $100 and the only thing the seller knows is it won't stay running. Inherited I suppose. I can probably get it running. Anywho... I'm accustomed to seeing the model on the hood decal. Idk I'm better identifying 60s chevy trucks lol Edited May 13 by RetroMower 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,751 #2 Posted May 13 BUY IT ! ! The deck alone is worth at lest $200. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #3 Posted May 13 I’d guess early 312-8, but like @daveoman1966 there is no question on whether to buy or not! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroMower 349 #4 Posted May 13 Thank you, yea I knew I'd get the "BUY IT NOW" response lol. But agan thanks for the ID i just like to know what im buying. I just couldnt find a WH with the white decal on the hood lacking the model #. I messaged him, hopefully its not like 99.9% of marketplace items that are sold and never removed for whatever reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,050 #5 Posted May 13 You couldn't go wrong with that. A number on that particular decal wouldn't have helped. It's the wrong decal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midpack 862 #6 Posted May 13 This is an early 312-8. They only used Kohler K motors for the first 2 years 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,188 #7 Posted May 13 (edited) Looking at the seat I would put that at a 1993 or 1994 310-8 to 314-8 with a replacement hood decal. Edited May 13 by 953 nut 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't buy it today, I'm on my way tomorrow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,609 #11 Posted May 13 @RetroMower agree with others , on pick up , would go over basics , for operational function , oil / fuel / electrical , usually the collective amount of issues that kill them . probably something simple , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
