It is on my local craigslist, it says runs but needs electrical work. I am pretty electrically handy. From the picture, it looks in good condition.
What do you guys think?

I would get it.
You can always fix a wire or two.

I figured I would if they haven't sold it yet.
I already have a good Craftsman rider, but it never hurts to have a utility tractor around to tow trailers, etc

for a 100 bucks it would be worth to put money into the thing. i would definitely jump on that deal.

I looked up this mower on tractordata.com and it has a 30" deck and only a 9 hp Kawasaki...
That is tiny! My question is, what is the purpose of a lawn tractor of this size? You might as well just use a push mower...

its a rear engine rider? but that is no big deal. anything above 12.5hp in a lawn tractor is overkill. even though i like my 20hp chraftsman:tongue: but still, would you rather mow a lawn sitting down that is about a half acre or push mow a lawn thats a half acre. its an easy question to answer. also the old lawn tractors came with smaller engines such as 9hp engines.

I guess i thought it was weird because I have never seen a tractor style mower with that small of engine and deck.
Usually mowers with this size of engine and deck are small rear engine types.
Thanks for the input guys :thumbsup:

Yes I like my 20 hp Craftsman too! :biggrin:
I think this little JD will be good as a utility tractor around the property...

it should be. that is what i use my craftsman for. i have pulled some pretty big trees out of the woods with my craftsman, and i have plowed some big snow with the thing too. i love it. having those extra horses is great.

Well, first I tried to call the number on the ad. It beeped three times, and said this number is disconnected.
I then emailed them and I got a reply and it said: fixed the number thanks :)
Well, it wasn't fixed.
I told them through email that it wasn't fixed, and I never heard a peep.
Now the ad has been deleted.
That really ticks me off...:mad:

that is pretty odd. but that is why you cant rely on craigslist. there are weirdo's out there. ive gotten things similar like that too.

Ill be honest, I have done a LOT of business on craigslist, and this is the first time someone has simply not gotten back with me. They always either say its sold or they still have it. Oh well :rolleyes:
