I buy all my equipment used, probably north of 12 pieces. And this time I think I made a mistake.
I grabbed a Deere 52 inch broom model year 2021, with a 1023 quick hitch and drive shaft for $2,000. It was used in a fleet in north Jersey for snow removal.
Not a alot of rust, and the bristles are in great shape. The cowling had a dent.
But when I brought it home, I realized
1. The rear caster arm is bent.
2. The chain guard is pretty close to the chain, looks bent, and the bristle stops arent aligned to the chain or the chain guide.
3. The end cap grease zerks are gone.
I attached photos. How bad is this?
