320 garden tractor

Hey can you check the serial number on your plow? This would be helpful. I am going to drive out to Indiana to get this thing and my fear is that it may end up being a long haul and find out its wrong. The John Deere dealership can't even tell me if it fits. This is very troubling in that they should be able to tell me.

Sorry, I haven't been on in awhile.

I can't find the paper work for my plow but that second pic looks just like it. And yes the hydraulic lift will lift the plow but you angle it manually from the seat, the angle kit was an option and works well/easy.

Mine is also to slow in reverse!! If you find a solution let me know. I'm sure it's for safety. Wonder if anything can be done with the lever linkage?

I also notice the valve under the fender for the lift gets pretty hot when running, don't know why only use the lift a couple of times during mowing.

As far as monthly maintenance goes I don't think there is any, just check the oil. After I cut the grass I let it cool down, lift the hood and blow any grass or dust off the entire machine, helps keep it a little cleaner.

Overall I am very happy with this machine, makes mowing my lawn much more enjoyable. Zero turn would make it the cat's meow.

JB.

The second one on your list will fit a 320 (M03480X)

Thank you for the response. I called the JD dealer and they couldn't confirm. I asked again and am waiting for a response

Well I found a snow blade for the 320 on Friday. I was mining ebay and craigslist and to my surprise a front blade listed for 1 day about 3 hours from home was online. In talking with the guy he was selling it for $425. In the end he sold it for $400 which is about $100 off of what I was finding other plows on machinefinder.com. The MachineFinder blades however would have cost $200 to ship.

I tested it out last night and it hooked up with fine. The blade came off a 1999 GT325.

Thanks to everyone for their help. Pictures will come next

My 320 will not start very well. I choke it and it does not start. It will start when I lower the throttle to idle. What's up? I have new spark plugs and the air cleaner is new. could it be the unleaded fuel? 84 octane
Thanks,
Tom

Can you post a picture of the Manual Tilt Arm for the Plow that connects near the battery compartment (under the hood)

I don't have any of it with the hood open right now, I will be installing the plow soon though, I will get a pic of it then, or maybe I'll mock it up before I install it if I have time.

I think it's one or 2 bolts that hold it, not the most solid connection, but it's not holding much.
