Hello and good day to all. I joined because I just purchased a JD 2320 with a 54D deck, 200cx loader and quick hitch on the rear. It only has 117 hours but was kept outdoors. The PO hit something and cut a front tire a couple years ago and just parked it. I was able to get it for 10K.
So far I have drained the fuel tank and changed the fuel filter. (It runs fine now) I washed and waxed it and the paint now shines like new. Everythng was froze up (levers and controls) but I have now gone throgh 2 cans of penitrating oil and broke everthing free. I took a grease gun to it and I think it is the first time it's seen one but all the fitting took grease and everything seems fine. I had to rebuild the anti scalp wheels on the mower deck as they had never been greased. I have a new tire on order (Monday) and spent $130 at the dealer getting filters, oil, and other small parts like a replacment for the broken tail light. I was surprised at how resonable the parts prices were and that Everglades JD had everthing in stock!
So far I am very happy with my purchase. I just need to find a trailer now.
About me: I am a newly retired Electronics Engineer. I was a Professinal Auto Mechanic in a previous life. Nothing that I own is stock as I choose to modify things to make them better. I am a problem solver that has partisipated in many on-line special interest forums. Once I get going I nomally become a question answerer although I will start out out as a question asker.
