Hi all. first time ride on potential owner and found this gem $100. worked last summer, doesn't now. up for sale. I know nothing about ride on mowers other than easy steer may be better. i do have tools and some skill at fixing stuff
does anyone know anything about this particular unit? One question i have is can a grass catcher be attached?
located in Western Canada

Just my opinion as a service tech, you need to be a gambler to go after that unit. I would say you have a 25% chance of spending less than $100 in repairs the first year you have it, 50% chance of spending $100-$500 the first year and 25% chance of spending over $500. You don’t provide us any numbers, but it looks like it is 10+ years old.
