I have John Deere 245 hydrostatic with 48" deck and 14hp Kawisaki. The mower looks excellent and has been really well taken care of, no rust, cracks, or noticeable dents. The motore runs good once running but it does smoke on startup. New parta recently include: drive pulleys, drive belt, fuel pump, reflectors, and spark plug. The only other issue is the throttle plastic sleave lever thingy broke.
I would consider putting a non smoking motor in it if thats a deal breaker for you.
Asking $950.
I have more pictures and details if you want them.
