THE 900 SERIES TRACTORS HAVE SOME OF THE BEST DESIGNED MOWER DECKS EVER BUILT AND THE TRACTORS THEMSELVES WERE WELL BUILT. tHE KOHLER MOTOR PROBABLY HAS NO OIL PUMP, SO DO'NT USE IT A LOT ON A SLOPE. $700 IS A FAIR PRICE.--dAN

Karter, did you buy it? It looks good, looks like it has a decent seat too.
Crewchief, your tractor looks too good to paint. You'd be surprised what some good cleaner wax will do. I would just paint the wheels. That will make it look new.

Rebuilding the Kohler alone has to be around $250-$350. I would think. I think that machine is well worth $700 bucks. To me, that should be in your garage about now...

Crewchief,
That's great man! Gotta' keep the neighbors on their toes. Yeah, we keep the neighbors scratchin' their heads around here two. One minute there's a few Tractors in the driveway, another minute there's a Dragster in the driveway, the wife goes down the street on occasions with her "Pro Mow" B110. Some of my streetrod buddies stop over on occasions. I think this Fall the Batmobile took the neighbors over the edge! LMAO!! This Spring that'll be back to get rewired once our new building is up. I'll probably have the kids in the neighborhood over the house then. LOL!
