clueless 2,991 #3 Posted November 26, 2021 Most of the early 312-8 came with a 1 inch rear axle and no adjustment implement height knob unless you ordered it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He beat me to it! Might not have come with it, but almost certain the proper holes and such are in the hoodstand for the stop and adjuster to be added.

Horse Newbie 7,069 #11 Posted November 27, 2021 Do you all think I could add a “Dial-a-Height” to a 1984 Work Horse GT-1600 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your dash tower has the hole in it on the left side. Then yes you can. See the zoomed pic below. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,627 #14 Posted November 27, 2021 @moe1965 , the condition of your rig looks clean , remove that related shifter plate , an aerosol the cross shaft end points , if you start getting a rusty run out , that could be your issue . track down every related area /opportunity to get some lubrication in there , constantly attempt to function it , if it starts to leak rust and it starts to move , you are on track . pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
