I tried to order powder from a few sources but shipping was like 2 weeks out, being the impatient guy I am I made a run to Harbor Freight and grabbed a container of black powder, unfortunately it's flat black but it was just an experiment. I have the the PTO off from my 312 so I decided to blast the rusty PTO switch bracket, PTO lever stop and battery hold down brackets. It was actually a bit easier than I thought but time will tell if it's coated properly and doesn't rust, since this tractor will live it's life out inside I don't see and issue. This was the result after 2 coats . Turned out decent though I wish it was semi gloss, the flat makes dirt stick to it. I'm using the oven rack with the pieces wired to it, time to make a cabinet that is tall enough that the oven rack will slide into to hold the parts while being coated and will have a filtered exhaust fan to suck up the excess powder. I was a fun project, just need the proper equipment to make it easier. Always fun trying something new eh, they look like they turned out excellent too. I remember though if Im not mistaken, when I was installing a paint piping system in Chrysler Windsor test plant years ago and my memorry has faded since then but I think??? they also had a setup where youd negativly charge one part and the gun was charged to say positive as you sprayed the powder, aparently it makes the and part become attracted, in other words more powder sticks to the part. I sure wished I payed more attention!!! The job was a very rushed job and I had like 100 plus lines to run in less then a week. Either way might be something to research? Dam those parts look great bro. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This can be "cured" using traditional long standing methods involving sage and lots of ceremonial dancing. A fair sized hammer will convince the metal key it is no longer stamped with swear words. Pm me your address and I'll send you a proper WHEELHORSE starting tool. Possibly generic in brand but certainly not that. That. That. Muck. 1 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy N. 2,154 #8698 Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Rear light socket burned up bad from what I think was a bad LED light and took out the lights on the 312-8, so today I replaced both with these LED lights that I got on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VT85Q0G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Got to use my new solder sleeves as well. This new assembly works great so far and is sealed and waterproof. I'm going to operate with these for a while and if no problems, probably change out the lights on the others. Also got THE book for Christmas. Great read of the history of these great machines.
