Tom, why don't you place a want ad in the wfm WANT ADS classifieds stating you are looking for a 332?
You might find what you are looking for and you might find out what people are willing to sell one for. I also might suggest searching on the jd site [URL="http://www.machinefinder.com/ww/en-US/category/used-lawn-and-garden-equipment"> MACHINEFINDER.COM, USED LAWN & GARDEN EQUIPMENT[/URL]. I use that to look for stuff around the country and compare pricing. I've found some nice stuff there too! Good luck.

Under edit, I just did the search and only found 2 tractors with the 332 search and both were in Canada. Well, keep trying they come and go.

Rod, Gary Behm was the person working on the calendar. He has the cover shown in the WFM gallery [URL="http://www.wfmachines.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=157621"> 2010[/URL]

I like the manual steering on my 18HP onan 316 better than the power steering on my 318s. A couple things I'd like on my newer 316 Onan is the dual brakes and dual hydraulic circuits. Of course an hour meter and reserve fuel supply valve would be cool too.

Way to go Mike! I've been busy doing a little work on some of mine that needed a little work.
Here's [URL="http://s660.photobucket.com/albums/uu324/86deereguy/Garden%20tractor%20photos/110%20album/"> the 110 with electric lift & blade getting new battery, etc.[/URL]

John, Thanks! I bet you made Cris Neal very happy today!

Chris Neal...
Congrats! We made 10,000 today and then some!

Let's get them all in a parade somewhere!
Think how long a lineup that would be!

About 20 miles as I figure allowing just over 10 feet per tractor!

John K...
That looks like it should do the job moving your snow. It looks great too! IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO MOVE, COME OUT MY WAY TONIGHT. We in the midst of a good ol' fashioned blizzard! This afternoon on the way home in my Jeep Wrangler,I went into the ditch and had to be pulled out by my neighbor with a big pickup with a snow blade. Fortunately I had my big HD tow strap along and got out easily. Viseability and the wind was the problem. I couldn't see where I was going and the wind blew me off the road after making it through a huge 3 ft. deep drift of snow. The road was also covered with ice! Not fit for man or beast out today here. Had a hard time standing on the road in the strong wind gusting to over 50 MPH.

Winter, I love it!~


Wife can't make it home tonight so I have lots of time to surf the web etc.!


Life is good, all the animals are fed and everyone is safe around here anyway.

Charlie, That looks like a pretty nice little RF.

Well Guys, I'm in DC this morning!
A WFM member from Goldsboro, NC is coming up to pick up the FD for his 332 from me. I drove out here (1050 miles just ahead of most of the storm that came thru my route. It was a nightmare from Wheeling, WV to the Penn Turnpike, then they got things salted down and it wasn't too bad. Jim Dimmerling maybe saw me passing thru OH...

I brought out a different car for my daughter who is now teaching in Silver Spring, MD. I'm driving my Red GMC pulling me Featherlite trailer with a Green Ford Taurus on the way home today.
Say hi if you see me! I'm sure I was very close to lots of WFM members places as I'm traveling mostly I-70 & I-74 to & from Iowa.
Breakfast is ready so all for now...

Hi guys, I made it home safely from my trip to DC. I did manage to meet up with a couple WFM members on the trip. I got some interesting photos too. I'll post them in my photobucket album when I get time.
I spent the night last night at the plow Wizzard's place in Ohio and was treated to a great home raised & evening meal and breakfast!
Sure beat staying in a motel! I enjoyed seeing his latest 430 project which will be amazing I bet. Also enjoyed meeting his dog a German Shepard named Sarge!

I have 26-12-12 rear tires on my 69 140 loader tractor but I think I raised the FD to give some clearance. I agree with Mike D. I'd worry about losing a finger or two with them that close. Jim, I like the current figuration you have the tractor in now.

Here's my first 140 in it's light duty settup. I run this one light, but sometimes wish I had more weight on it when pulling the 80 cart loaded heavily. Like this winter on ice trying to pull a big load of firewood. It would jjust sit there and spin.

That green grass sure looks good now, all I've seen for over two months is white snow and ice!

Jim & Jerry, Not all 140s had front outlets. Here's a [URL="http://www.wfmachines.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=83063"> photo in my WFM gallery album showing one I saw at the Dumont Museum that didn't have any outlets.[/URL]
Hope this helps.

OK, I admit it...
I screwed up. I meant to post this photo on post # 4800.

That was my first real jd garden tractor I bought with the model 4800 Sweepster broom attachment on the way home from the Little G show in August of 2002.

I now have the sweepster mounted on my jd 300 dedicated to that useage.

Brandan, Tell your father we like his Snow blowing setup on that nice looking 430!
