Toro Workman 3200 project...anyone have one of these?

[sandman2234]

when i put the seats in my cab , i took them off the seat frame that mounts inside the rops unit, on a seperate frame. the bottom seat cousions should be seperate from that and bolt to the 4 bolts on the red plastic cover with metal frame under it. the back cousions are taken off the metal frame and bolted through holes in back of cab. i didnt realize you had a cab on yours. that would make it easier to ship, just the cousions, rather than whole frame for them.

Oh, so the cushions basically mount to the 4 holes in deck and 4 holes in back of cab? If that is correct, then the new seats listed on ebay will probably bolt right on.
Let me get my hands on this thing and see what it actually takes.

dfkrug,
You have the same setup as the ones at my house that are heading to TN. One of the ones in TN has tranny issues, so he is looking for a good one. (Needs a good motor also)
If you get into yours and need a used part, let me know via PM and I will see if he has that part as an extra.

there is a metal frame under the red cover where seats bolt to, it has "nut inserts" where bolts go to mount bottom seat parts

dfkrug , what are you looking for as parts go (for a toro workman?)

I dunno yet. I hope to remove tranny soon. I have other things with higher priority right now.

I did take apart the spare 4x4 tranny I have and found why it failed. The differential gears are still good, but I doubt I will need them.

My seats are all missing, too, but I do have one seat back still mounted.

It is a sad day, but I just said 'no' to a project Kubota, a 2013 L5740 HST, for $3200, delivered. Blown HST. Those on TBN who know me know this is my ideal project. Just can't get to it.

We all have too many projects and not enough time!

The Toro Workman that I picked up last weekend has seats on it, and now I understand what was being explained about it being part of the roll bar. I haven't told the TN guy that went in 1/2 on the Toro that it won't have seats on it when it leaves Florida! I can buy new cushions online, so unless there are significant differences with ROPS and a cab, I should be good as far as seats for now.
Things got crazy around here today, so my going after the Toro downstate may get put off, not sure at this point.

I have inlaws that are in the auto upholstery business, might see what they have in mind before I order new cushions.

I wandered down to south Florida and picked this one Friday.

Seats missing, but I pulled the brackets off the other one. Seat bases made of plywood was rotten, so rebuilding them or buying new ones is in order. Cool thing about the passenger bracket is it has a chicken bar on it for when the driver gets crazy!

I keep watching this post, hoping for someone to update it!

This one left Kentucky on its way to TN and then to Florida today.

dfkrug,
I was just wondering if you have looked into your Toro transmission yet?
I will be sending a Toro transmission from Florida to Tennesse later this year or maybe as late as April of next year. (Acually sending a Toro that is missing a transmission and the engine/transmission from another unit to the friend who picked up the yellow one pictured above) He will be bringing the yellow Toro down at some point or I will go after it. Kind of hoping to get it sooner, so I may have to hook up the trailer and load up these and go after the yellow one.
Wondering what transmission parts you will need!

I got the battery all charged up and I was going to start it today or tomorrow, to see how the trans problem manifests while in operation on blocks. I am getting ready to pull the engine/trans together. Toughest issue may be disconnection of both axles from the wheel assemblies.

Pix coming.

I will be watching for the motor/transmission narrative! I will probably be pulling them out of the one that TN friend and I purchased together 50-50. I wanted the bed and frame and he wanted the engine tranny, but the bed ended up being a total rust issue. The bed could be rebuilt, but not sure if it is worth the effort and expense if I have a running one.
Interesting enough, the red Toro has the full glass door option, while the yellow/white has the half glass option along with a heater! The white yellow one has a heater, red doesn't. The white yellow one is propane and red is gasoline. The white yellow one is a manual deck, no hydraulics, red is full hydraulic. The parts machine I loaded on friends trailer for him that went to TN has the full hydraulic setup, but no bed. He is going to pull the cylinders, pump and lines to send home with the white yellow machine.
Heater fan, windshield wipers brakes and parking brakes are non-operational on the white yellow machine. Master cylinder was as dry as could be, not even a film on the tank, which is why the parking brake was worn out, as they probably used the parking brake to stop it!
Heater box has to be removed in order to get to the master cylinder, which may be why it was empty, who knows!
Take way too many pictures as you start the removal process! I will be watching closely!

I don't think removing the half shafts will be that big of a problem.
Good luck, hollar if you need anything!

Well, my unit has hydraulic dump bed AND hydraulic radiator cooling fan. My bed is already off.

Next, I think I will remove the roll bar, which should allow me to remove the plastic panel that covers the area under the seat. I am going to use this as a hands-on teaching experience for a neighbor kid (age 15) who has an interest in mechanical things.

I always wonder why people take the beds off. If the starter works, you can pull the lever to raise the bed and engage the starter and the bed will come up. Just over extend it and remove the cylinders and leave it attached at the rear. (see post #33). There were two Toro's for sale 100 miles away that had their beds removed, and the ad said... bring help, beds are on the ground and are heavy!
