Looking for info on garden tractors 🚜

[JD TRACTOR MAN]

JD
For the amount you are looking to soend you might have to look at the older 316 317 318 models. Biggest problem with them was the onan engines. Sometimes they show up in your price range.

I bought a 112 for my youngest around 30 years ago that needed the transaxle rebuilt for $300, put around $150 in parts plus my labor. Had 12 HP Kohler K3 series engine that was a work horse with 48” deck.

Wish you the best on your search.

Thanks oldnslo, Actually I have been looking out for one of the JD you have been mentioned as well as a craftsman and an older yardman. I have a 32year old small yardman I restored and it is very reliable. I can't seem to find thus far any yard mans for sale.

I would stick with an older JD rider that may need some work. You can get parts for them and they are prevalent. I had a JD 170 that just mowed some grass. JD 175, 185. or even older, the 318 (motor parts hard to find though).

Ingersoll made a good mower that can still be found for your price point. 3014s are a goods size for your acreage.
