Bought this mower off gamorg02 here on NESR last May, put 25hrs on it along with a handful of routine maintenance and cleanup.
The Good:
Good overall condition, everything works, 799 hours on the meter (fairly low for these), Kawi 17hp motor runs great, nice early zero turn w/ steering wheel so maneuvers are quick + easy, garaged and well cared for, tune up last season (new: fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, oil, belts, blades, plug + greased all zerks). Comes with 48" deck, deck pulley covers, JD PowerFlow bagging system, 2 new spare belts, mulching cover, owners manual.
The Bad:
Plastics have a few cracks, the seat has a few tears, may need a rear tire soon, PowerFlow could use some grease and a new belt, the jacksheave pulley isn't completely level anymore ($125 part) but works fine with one caveat... If you set the mower as high as it will go and use it over terrain with deep dips, this can put pressure on the primary belt since the entire deck floats out front. Non issue otherwise. Might even be able to shim the jacksheave.
I've seen these up for sale in good condition from ~$1100 - $2800. Offering up here for $950 OBO.
There's a POS F525 on Hartford CraigsList right now for $800 for parts or a project so I think I'm in the ballpark. Flexible on price, I'd like it gone, it's just a spare mower at this point, bought a larger zero turn a few weeks ago.
Machine is located in central MA near Mt Wachusett. Pickup only. I have no way to transport the machine.
