    John Deere 325 Garden Tractor

    It does not look like these were very popular. Kind of the ugly step child of the 300 line circa 1997!:laughing: Anyone else enjoy one? I've done searches and have not come up with anyone discussing them. It is a hydro with the venerable Kawasaki FC540 single cylinder air cooled 17hp engine...

    Deere 325 won't start

    My totally reliable '97 325 with 198 hours won't start. I was mowing in a bit of weeds and it cut off (coincidental?) It didn't seem like it was getting fuel so I replaced the fuel pump and the carb solenoid. Also blew out the lines from the tank to the fuel pump, the pickup in the tank and the...

    John Deere 325 Upper hood - bummer!

    I wonder if anyone else here has had this happen: I was trying to open the hood of my 325 and grasped it at top center, where there is clearly access meant for your hand. I also grabbed the lower side at the same time, but as I lifted the hood, a large wedge of green plastic broke away from the...

    John Deere 325

    I just bought a JD 325 2001 model with 306 hours on it for $2200 and looks almost new. It has liquid for weight in the back tires. My yard is two acres, but not very steep, do I need the extra weight? I figure the extra weight will shorten the life of the machine. Also I believe taking the...

    John deere 325 vs. John Deere GT 235

    They are both in good shape with around 300 hours and both are 2001 models. Price wise the 325 is $300 higher. Which is the better machine, has the better transmission. I don't know much about mowers and was needing some input. Thanks for any help.

    I just picked up a used 325 with a 54C mower, 42" snow thrower, 48" blade and 30" tiller. It runs great and seems to be in good condition. Anyone have one of the newer 300 series? Any quirks that I should be aware of? Thanks!
