Hello, new here

Recommended Posts

gsummers

Hello all, I am new here and today I bought my 1st Wheel Horse, a 1990 312 Hydro in fair condition, 42 " deck and snow plow, new rear tires, a friend of wanted to sell and I think I got a good deal, $500.00. He owned it since 1991 and has always had it serviced at the dealership, starts great and runs strong, a little over a 1000hrs on it, with a lot of TLC this summer, I will have it looking almost like new, I hope. I will post some pics as soon as I can figure out how to resize them.

Welcome to the forums and good deal pickin' up your 1st Horse!

 

A deal you'll remember forever 'specially as WHA (Wheel Horse Addiction) takes over your free time. The Horses will own you. You will find yourself looking for a companion friends for the Stallion you just picked up.

 

At least the Horses'll earn their keep!   :laughing-rofl:

Greetings gsummers,    :orcs-cheers:

 

I'm new here too, only a month and a few days since I got my 312-8, paid the same price for it, love it.

 

Great place here, tons of good info and what not, but watch out that WHA (Wheel Horse Addiction) is strong stuff.

I just got my 2nd tractor, an old rusted 1974 B-80.     :dance:

Welcome to the forum. I too, am also new. After wanting one for thirty years, I bought a 312-8 about 6 weeks ago. Just mowed the grass with it yesterday, and absolutely love it.

I think you got a very good deal also. I paid $400 for mine, ans all it had was the 42" mower deck.

:WRS:   To resize your photo what I have done is open it in paintbrush, on the tool bar you will find "inage" then select "Stretch/Skew" then go to 50% by 50% and hit OK. Now save the resized photo and POST IT, :wwp: 

 

I too have a 312-8, the previous owner left it behind when he moved out. A new plug, carb cleanout and fresh gas and it ran like a charm. My wife claimed the reason we baught the house was because it came with a :wh: .  :ROTF:   :text-lol:   She may be right!

 Thank you all for such a warm welcome to the group, I just figured out how to turn down my camera, pics coming soon. Today I pulled off the front wheels to get new tires mounted, soon as I get them back on I will take pics.

      My 312 hydro has the 12hp kohler motor,It has 3 wires white,purple and orange coming out from the stator area but the orange is not hooked up.The stator test around 40 volts ( multimeter test) but the battery is not charging.The regulator is cheap but new (not OEM).My question is the orange wire,what is it for? If I should hook it up? If yes then to what should it be run to?Battery  +?.  My regulator test was a failure but the tractor runs fine besides de-charging.Im searching for alternative reasons for the regulator not working other than its no good.Like cleaning and refitting all ground connections,cleaning and refitting the battery terminals and connecting wires.Is it posable the ignition switch is the wrong one or is failing at one or more poles?   Thanks for any help
