do you prefer the 322 or 332 model ??? or the 420 / 430 i think the 300 series would be nice with a locking / high low diff

Looks good. Im curious where are you finding your recent purchases? Local? I recently just got my first 318, with 50” deck, Powerflow bagger and single stage blower. Im into looking for a plow and an enclosure for it now. I saw your Youtube showing the Cozy. That cab is exactly what i would like to have, without paying some outrageous price of coarse.

yes cozy cab is the way to go i have 4 of them now.. there hard to find and pricey ...no one is giving them away thats for sure. make sure if you get a cozy it came of a 318 420 and 430 have a different front whindshild ..

My herd includes 212, 216, 322 and 430. Got a 332 but it's a stubborn derelict, doesn't run right...still sorting it out. Sold on a 316, 317 and 214 after I redid them, plus a 110 and 140. Not an Onan guy, so I prefer the Yanmars...322 and 430. Several threads on here about putting the 2-speed rearend in 300 series machines...good swap apparently.

hard to beat a nice 430
