Lee1977 6,643 #17 Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) I don't know how new you are to Wheel Horse Tractors, but there are a few thing that need repair on most all 40 year old tractors. First check the pivot on the front axle, the tab holding it in place is usually broken. Next check the tightness of the pivot fit even well care for tractors will have some ware. there is also a grease fitting on the bottom of the axle sometime missing or broken off. Check the transmission mount plate it may be cracked around the mounting bolts. the fix here is a 1/4" plate cut to fit in that area and welded in place with 1/2" longer bolts. I would add a couple of 1/4" x 1 1/2" braces from that plate up to the frame. I'll add a picture of my 312-8 with the braces.
