What should I be looking for with the Z42?

[SoxCadet]

I am looking at buying a Cub Cadet Z42, approximately 20 years old. Seems to be in pretty decent condition despite the age. Is there anything in particular I should be worried about with this model? What would seem a fair ballpark price?

Never even seen one of those. Seems like an oddball mower and my primary concern would be replacement parts availability, being both old(er) and uncommon.

Replacement parts would probably be an issue but I'm not looking at this as a long term mower. If it lasted this mowing season I'd still come out ahead. My Troy-Bilt riding mower I bought brand new 4 years ago has given me nothing but trouble and I'm not ready to spend a lot of money right now.

This is a unique machine. first glance it kinda reminds me of a "yard-bug" ...
