any toro groundsmaster fans on here?

[jrsavoie]

Yes, I have four Groundsmasters with the Mitsubishi 3 cylinder diesel engine and a front hydrostatic transaxle.

First one is a 1990 322D, I got in September of 2004,

I have a 1998 325D Toro Groundsmaster 4x4. I can not figure out which way the drive shaft bolts in. There is a flange on each end - but they are the same.

I am sure the slip slide is supposed to be pointed one direction or the other.

Could anybody help me out here. I've been searching the internet for over 2 hours now. Can't find no pictures ner nothin.

Here is the parts viewer for your model 30795: Toro Master PartsViewer

This is the drive shaft to the front axle, but I don't know what you mean by "slip side"

The drive shaft to the rear axle can only go on one way.

#4 in the bottom picture is the grease zerk for the slip slide. I'm sure it has a real name, But I've never heard it called anything.

My drive shaft to the rear wheels has part #1 on each end.

I do not know if part number 3 goes to the front of the machine or the rear. My 325D has part number 1 on each end. I do not have a part #6

Telescope?

Or tube.

I found a picture that looks like #3 goes to the rear. I will go out tomorrow an check it. Wrong #3 goes to the front

Close up of the drive shaft:

From the post I made at Lawnsite. It does not say for my Toro but the driveshaft looks the same. I tried to attach a picture of my driveshaft

Toro is real good about putting all their manuals online for viewing and downloading. If you have a model and serial number you might give that a try.

Not sure if this is the same, but check at about page 194, slip joint looks to go to the front.

Here is the view from the left side, no flange, the slip end goes to the front.

Here is the driveshaft from a 1997: Toro Master PartsViewer

#3 goes to the front.

Thank you very much. Apparently my Toro Groundsmaster 325D is a 1998.

Where can I buy a hard copy of the Service repair manual for my Toro 325D Groundsmaster Model Serial 30795 - 80161 ?

Do you have a link to the online Service manual?

Also looking for the service manual for the Mitsubishi K3D-109436 engine.

I believe you are supposed to reset the valves on those every 400 hours.

 

[Xfaxman]

I think I got my service manual on eBay.

The engine is covered in the 325D service manual.

Call a Commercial TORO dealer and the golf courses in your area.
