I have a Craftsman 15.5 HP lawn tractor with a Kohler engine that is about 7 years old. The tractor is in pretty good condition. The engine has been great but I have a problem with the deck. I hit a small stump that must have heaved up somehow in sixth gear while mowing and ripped the deck in front. It tore the front mounting nearly off on one side. My Dad welded it but I can't get it to adjust properly anymore. I really don't need it now that I have a Kubota 7500 but would like to keep it around or at least sell it. Do you think anyone would buy it in its present condition and what is it worth? The engine itself although not new has got to be worth something to someone.
A new deck is about $500 and the deck shell is $122 plus a couple of other parts I would need. I would have to take all of the parts off of the old one and put them on the new one but it won't be easy with the rusted bolts. There is also no guarantee that the parts on there are all perfect.
