RED-Z06 2,221 #1 Posted March 5, 2022 Im thinking about it...it looks fairly clean, says it has no battery but claims it runs, 48" deck, wheel weights. Dont know hours. Id assume he has a way to jump it off to show it runs. Wants 600...i need another tractor like I need a hole in my head. I wish it had power steering or the assisted steering Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,209 #3 Posted March 5, 2022 $600 for wheel weights, 48" SD deck, and a WH cover is a good deal. Oh, take the free 520 too. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cee245 818 #5 Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Here is what I did in a similar situation recently and I'm happy with my decision... I passed on a 96 520h with a fuse blowing issue with 1050hrs. 48" deck needed patched. Ran and moved well (fuse blew when shut off for some reason). Seller wanted 400. It was overall decent shape. 6 of 10 all considered... so i thought it was a steal! Actually came with weights and a short chute too! I decided that someone else could hopefully enjoy since I realized I have enough tractors (i know it's not popular opinion to some, lol). I have a total of 4. That being said, i still am looking to upgrade and replace one of mine and also I like helping members and enthusiasts find deals and parts as MANY have done for me.

Fuse blowing on shut down is usually a bad switch shorting 12v to ground. My 416 had a bad stator coil, new 40a fuse in...it would start up..run at idle...as soon as you revved it, it would pop the fuse. New stator fixed it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED-Z06 2,221 #7 Posted March 5, 2022 Ended up being a 2hr trip and he doesn't know how many hours, firm on 600...im gonna throw this one back, if he isnt willing to walk out and look at the hours, im not willing to drive 2hours to look at a tractor he wont put a 30 dollar battery in.. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,327 #8 Posted March 5, 2022 When I sell a tractor, I take a good used battery out of one of mine - we have three - and buy a new battery for one of mine. Never had any complaints ... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never had any complaints ... Generally pretty much what i do, id never think of asking any kind of money for a mower with no battery...and id be willing to take a picture of the meter or at least disclose what it says 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
