I'm going to look at a John Deere 420 on Saturday. 20HP Onan, FEL (bucket and pallet forks), 3pth, PTO, 60" mowing deck, 48" tiller, wheel weights, and fluid filled bar tires on the back. $6900 CDN.
It has "about 1000" hrs on it but the hour counter is broken, of course. It looks okay in pictures...a little rust here and there, a few scratches, but not abused. He says it doesn't use any oil and the hydraulics all work. He's had it for about four years and says he's never had a problem.
I've checked with a JD mechanic and he says parts are pretty easy to get.
I have a couple of questions.
First is the price. Is that about right? Keep in mind that things tend to cost a little more here in Canada.
Are there any known issues with this model that I should look out for?
What's a small scraper blade worth for the back?
