TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #2 Posted May 13, 2010 Late 80's vertical shaft (engine) LAWN "tractor" with a Kawasaki 17hp engine. Me...... I don't waste my time with them ~ unless I know someone else who needs a lawnmower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickv1957 72 #4 Posted May 13, 2010 I purchased an NOS 257 in the late 90s that dealer friend never sold,it was a nice mower but didnt keep it long,Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #5 Posted May 13, 2010 I think TT and Rick are correct, in both ways - it is a nice mower - would be good to resell. It will be a little more refine than the "classic" Wheel Horses and this time of year, people are looking for mowing machines. Might be a quick resell and make a little profit to boot. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
