Hiya,
Private seller is asking USD $1200 firm on an 8yo but never used SM-180 side discharge RFM. I looked at the mower, it's been in a damp semi underground part of his barn. Still has the PTO shaft tied to the frame wrapped in cardboard. I offered $950 because I suspect that the belts, possibly gearbox seals and fluids all need to be replaced from sitting so long. He is firm on 1200.
OK, so,
Am I unrealistic in my assessment of damage from sitting so long?
Am I in the correct ballpark for North East price with my offer?
Is an 8yo Sitrex worth 1200 or should I just run down to TSC and grab a KK?
Thanks,
Tom
