I'm in the process of convincing my wife to let me buy this we don't have a lot of money he is firm on $700 comes with mulch plug mulching blades, bagging blades and bag. Has a lot of house but looks well taken care of what do you guys think your opinion may help my wife see the investment.

I can't... I agree with her I don't think that's a 700 mower investment but the market here may be different. I live in Houston but I see better deals than that once in a while and the Dallas CL has great deals almost every day. But he did say OBO

There is only 2 on cl currently the other is a craftsman he wants 600 firm no additional blades or parts does not come with a bag.
I've already contacted both the craftsman guy thinks he's sitting on a diamond wants 800 for it but I talked him down to 600. The cub guy says 700 is a good price for the mower says its been taken care of just got a tune up and has a bucket of extra cables and parts plus the extra blades, bag and mulch kit
Agreed. I've had a Timemaster 30 and they cut well and I never had any trouble with mine... but I've seen vids of this mower and it cuts great too with an extra 3".
why does he have a lot of extra parts if the mower is in such great shape? I had a craftsman 33 a few years back, didn't like the fact that some parts had to come from sears exclusively. it was a good mower but only cost 1100.00 new. cub at 700.00 used seems a little high. probably a more durable built mower than the timemaster for what you would use it for IMO:thumbsup:

So I asked him a few mote questions here's what he said
" Jeremy, the model number is CC 760 ES. No major repairs have been needed, it was originally purchased by a guy out by deer park and he owned it until last year when I bought it. I used it about 20 hours a week through the summer last year. I just upgraded to a new Toro hydrostatic mid-range so I no longer need it. It was just tuned up at the end of last season (Oct-Nov) and does not have any hours on it so far this season. I already mentioned the tear in the bag and in addition to that, the only issue is that the hours counter is off. I have no way of being certain exactly what they are as it was in that condition when I bought it. We performed oil changes monthly and full tune ups every other month. I have replaced either the throttle cable or the blade engage cable (i can’t remember which it was at this point) and I have extras available. Other than that it has been a great mower for me, we have just outgrown it. Let me know if you have any other questions. Jared"

I just saw a craftsman 33 priced higher than that. I'm not sure why these have such high resale. But then the timemaster does too.
If you think its a good deal then go for it. Thats the only way to really find out.
