Good buy on this Bush Hog Tiller?

[fordmantpw]

I just purchased this Bush Hog M60 5' tiller on a spur of the moment type deal. I've been searching for one for quite some time, but couldn't find what I thought was a 'good deal'. This one came up for sale by my neighbor and I just saw it by chance (posted on FaceBook by one of his workers who just happens to be one of my friends). He was asking $500, so I offered him $400 and he took it. Did I get a good buy (assuming it works as he says)? It's a bit rusty, but it's all intact with the exception of the plug for the gear box. I figure I'll change the gear oil and the chain oil, grease it up good, and give it a whirl. This will work great for our garden as well as preparing the yard for our new home when construction is complete.

Also, I searched online quickly for a manual, but had no luck. Anyone know of a way to get the old manuals from Bush Hog? Thanks!

As long as it works, I would say it was a steal. New tillers are pricey! Can't help on the manual though.

If he has another one buy it too, sell it and get all your money back.

Ha! I was thinking it was probably worth about $800. Good to know I'm not the only one that thinks that!

Now, if only I had bought it before I put out the garden...
