OK this thread is to document the 322 I picked up this morning, just a few miles from my house. My name for this machine will be Tville 322.
So externally the machine isn't too bad definitely need a new dash bezel and knob for the light switch which after some PB blaster and working seemed to move freely enough:
The front hydro couplers are pretty bad, got them working but a lot of rust, so I've ordered new couplers. Mule drive cover plate is not going to worry about, I can make one in the shop now.
Missing a rear tail light, but no signs of any leaks at the back of the machine so a plus there:
Mower deck is rusty on the top and I haven't taken it off yet to pull the belt covers to see if it is worse around the spindles, but I suspect it won't be in great shape there.
There are no headlights or wiring harness for the headlights. The taillight harness was with it but was wrapped around the rear rocker shaft.
Hour meter was gone but the holder was in place as well as the harness:
PO added a fuel shutoff valve by the tank, and then moved the fuel pump to under the tank and ran copper line to the pickup line:
