Several months ago my dad picked up a G1800 with Hydrostatic trans and 3cyl kubota engine for $100.
Guy thought The head gasket was bad. Water in oil and overheating. But we actually think it was flooded during a rainstorm in 2017 as they lived in low area, and there was debris up underneath the mower.
Well after some new 10w30 rotella and cleaning all of the matted grass off of the radiator he's had no problems with it.
The hood hinges broke off at the hood. He built a small frame in the hood and fixed that. New deck rollers, greased everything. Engine starts right up when it's warm,but takes a few seconds when it's cold outside.
trans is in good shape, deck lift works good too.
what would y'all appraise this at?
he is going to get new foot pads and repair the seat cracks.
