I have an opportunity to buy a 1992 Gravely 14-G pro riding mower from a friend. It has a 14hp Kohler Command engine. It does NOT have the hydraulic lift for the mower deck (manual lift). It started smoking, so he asked me to rebuild the motor. While I was working on it, he decided he wanted a ZTR mower and asked if I would like to buy the tractor. It's in good condition and has a fresh rebuilt motor ($600 total for the rebuild). Everything seems to be fine except it does need minor transmission work (that I can do - dealer wanted $300 so I figure I can fix it for $150). The transmission only works in 2nd and 4th gear (if you put it in 1st or 3rd it gets "stuck" and is a real bear to get out).
So my question is.....what is a fair price for the tractor given that is has a $600 rebuilt motor and needs another $150 in repairs?
I want to be fair to him and me, but neither of us has a clue what it may be worth.
Thanks for any opinions.
