any toro groundsmaster fans on here?

Call some local golf courses and ask where they get Toro parts. There are many Websites that sell Toro parts, just do some searching.

The residential dealers may not be able to order parts from the commercial division.

The best place to get part numbers is here: Toro Master PartsViewer

They put the year made in order, not all jumbled up like the online store did:

There is a good residential dealer about 45 minutes south. I used to be able to buy from them until maybe 10 years ago? It kind of ticked them off that they could no longer sell commercial parts or mowers. They are about 50 miles from nowhere.

Then I found a place about 45 minutes north that I ordered from for a couple of years. One day the gal I usually dealt with wasn't there and the guy I talked to said they could not sell to me anymore as I wasn't in their area. So I ended up with the place out of St. Louis - 3 1/2 hours away. I am happy with them, but it would be nice to be able to drive and pick up a part sometimes.

Just like everything else, unless you get an old service tech, the youngsters don't usually know the old equipment. And the old timers are retiring or passing away.

I like that year in order thing.
Thanks

Anyone know if a 94 325D 4x4 front axle is the same as 97? I may have found what I'm looking for.

What did you find 94 or 97? You said that you had a 93 325D.

The Master Parts Viewer will show if the part numbers are the same:

Did I get this right?

No.

How do I figure out the year of my Toro with the serial number?

you can tell the year of manufacture by the serial number. Just turn the first 2 digits around (49xxxx = 1994)

Not for the Traction Units. The first digit is the last digit of the year, up to 2000. Then the first digit is the first digit of the year and the second is the last digit of the year.

Fortunately I saved a list showing the year from before they removed the year from the list.

Notice that 91, 94 and 96 have a serial number split during the year:

WTB Toro Groundsmaster deck 1980 to 1999

I am looking for a deck - Model # 30575 for my 1996 Toro 223D I didn't keep up with cleaning and coating the past few years and it is rusted pretty bad. It is still rebuildable if I do not find a replacement

I would buy a whole machine for the deck or to replace what I have.

The following machines used the same deck. Groundsmaster 62, 217D, 220 & 224

My deck is a 72", but I would also be interested in a smaller deck also

Near Clifton, Illinois

Do you happen to have or can you get a 325D (or similar) 4x4 Front axle? If so I have a decent 72" 325D Grounds master Deck...

 

[jrsavoie]

How much would you want for it?

Where are you located?

Thanks

 

[CrockPot]

Not exactly sure how much at this point. It will need bearings but it's a solid deck for sure.

I'm located in SE Michigan.

I will send you a private message. Thanks
