Excellent example of a very well built tractor. You did good.

I been working on my 97-312-8 this week. I have got about 30 hours invested so far cleaning and polishing, I had to repaint the front axle. I still need to polish the rear fender. Here are more pictures as of today. The mower deck is next. I can oniy list 4 pictures at time.

WOW!!!

So is this tractor a keeper or are you going to flip it?  Tractor looks GREAT!

[BOWTIE 226]

I will most likely flip it.  It is the last year for the iron Kohler though.  If I can sell it for a lot I will.

WOW is an understatement.  That thing looks like brand new.  Do you think you can get more than 1k? 

[BOWTIE 226]

Yes, if I can't I will keep it and try next spring around $1500-$1700.  it is a nice used tractor the only thing holding it back might be the 37" deck.  thanks

I'm really amazed at how good that 312 looks with just some soap and water. I can't help but think you also used a little Armor All

[BOWTIE 226]

I just finish the tractor tonight. It's dark now, I will take pictures tomorrow and post. Then start on the mower deck next.
