Never Owned One Until Today.......m
 

Found a JD 312 today! Looks like its in good condition, but has not operated in a few years. Don't know anything about a JD, but this one is in the 300 series, made for only two years from 1977 through 1978. Haven't checked the serial number yet, but the tractor is a hydro drive. Model did not come from factory with side panels or amp meter. I'll post pictures tomorrow if I can.

Congrats! The 312 is one of the better looking JD's in my opinion.

IF..............I went green, I would get a 140H3. Then the 300 series. But I doubt that will happen.

:biggrin2:

The 140 H3 is the best looking JD in my opinion. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if i could find one that was reasonably priced..

I wanted the 140, too! They go for good money. My Dad has the 318 and I'm impressed.

Here ya go Tim,
Just a short cruise down 119 and 22W.
Reasonably priced??? I dunno.

Well, the uploads fail. Don't know why,...l good though. Needless to say, the JD got sold! They are a good tractor, but honestly the 1650 i just got is set up so much better. Yes, I got it with the cash I sold the JD for lol!

Those Deers were made made when throw-away hadn't been invented.
Unlike the junk Sabers that followed.

It's not easy being green......

So, my choice for a JD would be from any of their patio series GT's. The 300 series are nice, though. Your 1650 will serve you well.
