working with quirks. mow your grass today. it is cosmetically not great. deck has holes. holes are repairable now, and the area around the spindles is good still, so you could repair it and use it for years. tires hold air but left front is running out of tread. engine runs great, trans is strong, but has 2 different hydraulic leaks. ITS ONLY o-rings leaking, (o-ring face fitting on lines) NOT HOSES OR CYL SEALS, but there is some labor involved in replacing them but parts are less than 5 bucks. again, this tractor will cut your grass today if you slap the deck on and go, it will just drip oil on the deck. this machine has 1360 hrs on it. I am going to stay pretty firm as I can fix these problems over the winter and sell it for around 2500 in the spring.
