Don1977 604 #1 Posted June 15, 2014 Contacted Wheel-N-IT yesterday morning and went up to get his 312-8. It's now 100 miles west. Here are a few pictures, never could get get the camera at the right angle to get both of us in picture. That may be why I have that crazy expression. I'll get it cleaned up and finish painting it. looks like it might need axle seals, unless the transmission has been over filled. I may have located another Wheel Horse today will have to go check it out. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don1977 604 #4 Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) I took the fender pan of the 312 to strip the paint as it was cracked a few places. Put a used shifter boot on as it didn't have one, I'll get a new one as soon as I get by the Toro dealer. I saw that the drive belt didn't look right as it had too much angle. Pulled the belt cover and this is what I found. It drove fine didn't make any extra noise, but it was wearing the top of the belt, wouldn't have lasted long. I fix that and stripped the paint from the fender pan. I was just going to sand it down and repaint it but the existing paint was rubbery and not adhered to the primer in most places.

The temp that day was about 95 and Sun was right on top of us. I actually sweated off about five or six pounds that day. Its HOT here now!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
