geoff 0 #1 Posted October 13, 2009 Hello everybody! My name is Geoff and I'm from Maryland. I've enjoyed working on tractors/small engines since I was young, all thanks to a go-kart gifted to me by my parents when I was 11 (and still have, 15 years later). Over the years, I've learned how to work on just about anything that has a gas engine on it and thoroughly enjoy it. I started becoming a Wheel Horse fan a few years back when I started looking to buy my first home. Although I come from a Sears/Craftsman and Cub Cadet family, I was always partial to our neighbor's Wheel Horse 417-8 and 520-HC. This spring, I bought my first house and of course the first thing I invested in was a Wheel Horse tractor. After a short search, I stumbled upon a 312-8 (on Craigslist) locally and met with the seller to see his machine. I immediately fell in love with it and bought it on the spot. I know it's used and had a few quirks, but I enjoy having a project to work on that I can still use. Since then, I've gone out and purchased a used bagger system, a used snow plow/wheel weights/chains, and a tiller attachment that is solid but needs work. I couldn't be happier. Anyway, although I've been researching Wheel Horse tractor information from this site for a while now, I decided it was finally time to join and introduce myself. I am a die hard fan and read new postings just about every day now. Thank you for the wealth of knowledge, I hope I can contribute in the near future.
