The 322 came with this model 82 Olathe slit seeder. Whoever attached this thing welded it onto the lift arms. I guess it is married tot forever.

Both machines run fine and drive. Hours are 3500 on both. Price was $1500 delivered to my house...not a bad deal.

Where are you finding these deals? I'm jealous!!
Welded doesn't have to be forever. If it can't be ground off it can usually be taken off with an air arc.

I have a craigslist add up and people contact me with units for sale. Most times they want too much money, but this was one of those deals where I couldn稚 say no. I am now officially out of parking space in the shop, and it is like a game of limbo trying to walk around inside. Wish I had somewhere to park more of them...lol. Probably better that I don稚 have space, it will keep me out of divorce court.

Does anyone have an instrument panel cover off a parts machine they can sell me? One of mine is missing.



What was interesting about this 322 is they put 23x10.5x12 tires on the 8.5 rims, doesn稚 look too bad actually.

Found that this Olathe 82 seeder can be found on the toro site as a model 44815 seeder. Was able to get an owners manual for it.

Nice! A little simple green and a pressure washer would really bring out the detail in the heavily greased areas... Always helps for a sale.

Here's my fleet, hopefully I attached the pic properly

I have an extra cover, what's it worth to you, and by chance do you have a left belt cover on a guardian recycler deck?

Is there a model rundown of all the groundsmasters? like what were the different models and why and when? As in were the 322D's out the same time the 345D's were? did they come out in succession one replacing the other sort of thing. Hope that makes sense. lol

Warleg, I PM’d you.

I found out something new yesterday. The rear wheels on the 4wd are larger than the rear wheels on the 2wd. My 4wd units have 18” tires and my 2wd unit has 16” tires.

Not that I know of. You can go to the Master Parts Viewer ( Toro Master PartsViewer ), but you need the 5 digit model number, not the series number.

The 345 has a gas engine, don't think there is a diesel version.

Larger diameter rear tires and wider front tires and wheels where an option.
