John Deere? Valuable? More like priceless! Those things are extremely easy to find parts for and I know someone who works on tractors and restores them. His name is Troy Plocinski. He and his brother are mechanics to varying degrees and Tyler himself is also a fabricator. He went to school to become a fabricator.

The 322 is rare because of its engine. The engine is a Yanmar diesel factory converted to a gas engine. All the diesel parts are still on the tractor, but it runs on gasoline instead of diesel. He used to have a 2001 John Deere 455, but he sold it to replace it with a second John Deere X758 Signature.

The easiest were the Craftsmans and Poulans with regular gear drive transmissions. Anything with a reeves drive (MTD and Troy Bilt) is a pain because there's more belts and pulleys and more guides to keep the belts on when they're slack. It seemed like Murray and John Deere were both pretty bad about burying their belts under lots of frustrating nonsense regardless of transmission type. Deck belts were all about the same with Craftsman/Poulan having a slight advantage.
