My father-in-law recently passed away and owned both a Crafstman DYS4500 26 HP 54" cut lawn tractor and a DGS6500 24 HP 48" cut Garden tractor. I need to sell one and would like to know a reasonable price for each. Both are stored indoors and are in good shape.

If both are in great condition, as you say, there is a huge market for such machines. That said, the prices netted will be what the market can bear, and often that is substantially below original purchase price. Go to Sears.com and price a comparable new one, sale price. Cut that in half.
If the new price is $1600, then ask $800. That is pretty much how it works. You might do better in your particular area, but lawn season is coming to end soon in the northern climes. Spring is always the best time, mid-May when the grass is as high as an elephant's eye.
Craigslist, I assume, or similar.

BP's right. There are people shopping for these and 50% of new is a good target as long as these are really nice machines. If they are showing their age you could end up in the $500 range.
