I have a chance to buy one for 750
Need a dependable mower that’s turn key yesterday and the price on this one is 750
It’s had the green painted half ass but not a bad looking tractor with any rust issues that I can see
Guy claims it’s single cylinder Koehler engine is sought after by collectors and it’ll run/ last forever
In general how does this deal sound
Looks like a good solid dependable mower which is all I’m needing right now
Thanks

Good little machine.

I can’t comment on desirability but at 1/3 of a new box store machine price, it will outlive that box machine and you will probably get your money back in another 15 years when you sell it

Thanks, I’m gonna pass based on the lack of enthusiasm from the overall majority.
Going to look at a 67 Allis Chalmers B-110 today, if it runs and cuts I’m all over it and will bring it home just because I feel it’s a no brainer
