Toro Groundmaster 117

[smfarley]

Hi,

I am looking at a zero-turn machine that can also carry a two stage snowblower and have found the following:

Toro Groundmaster 117 (1988), motor has been replaced with a B&S V-Twin 18hp, the snowblower has apparently not been used very much and it is 42".

I have the following questions:

I haven't seen any reviews of this machine, is it reliable...even after 20 years?
Is it good for this zero-turn to carry a snowblower or will I use it too much?
What parts should I be expecting to change sooner than later?

The item is for sale for $3,500 - is this a good price?

Thank you for your Help.

Mat.

I have a Reelmaster. And though it is built like a tank, I have broken something minor on it, about once a year. Parts are easy and fast to get. But, they tend to be very expensive.
