I'm looking for a small riding mower to mow the areas that are too tight for me to get to with my tractor's 60" finishing mower, and also a hill that's too steep for my tractor. I looked at a John Deere 111 riding mower last night. It ran very well and was in pretty good shape. Although it was only 11 horsepower, it seeming to have enough power for the hill. The only trouble was, one of the belts on the deck came off. The seller was able to put it back, and claimed it never happened before (Yeah, right). He was asking $500, then said he was flexible. I was thinking of offering $300 and going as high as $400. Is this a good deal? I don't know how old it is, but am guessing about 20 years. Does anyone know if this is a decent mower, and will handle my needs? Also does anyone know when this model was made, and where I can get a manual for it? I don't want to spend much, and it seems to me that an old Deere would be better than a newer Sears, MTD or Murray.
Thanks!
