FREE Golf Course Mower! PART 1 - Worth Saving?

Stumbled on a 1985 Toro Groundsmaster 217D, getting it running after an early retirement of 15 years....finding out if its worth fixing?

thats a cool looking mower!

[@marktolman6037]

Definitely is, commercial units like these are super neat

Free is always good! Really enjoyed the previous John Deere repair btw.

Thanks! I was hoping that series would get alot more attention, but that's the way it goes sometimes! It was a fun project, I'm glad you liked it.

Groundsmaster 328-D Traction Unit - Much newer version and my favorite mower. Use it for roads on a large property. Kubota diesel, flawless!

[@marktolman6037]

Thats a cool unit! They seem to have a really good design, having the mower deck out front with plenty of power for the bigger mower decks

[@jenquinonspin]

Wow what a gem!

Hey, I will give you double your money back... I have a gas model 1948 and love it above all my other top name mowers. I bought mine with 5 other zero turn riding mowers to resell, but after trying it out, I'm keeping it forever.

[@marktolman6037]

Nice! I still haven't done anything with this one. I've been using and fixjng up my John Deere F932 front mower

[@skip7243]

The key will shut off the electric pump & eventually the engine will quit!

[@marktolman6037]

Definitely one way to do it!
