3200 Shaft Drive Mower Value?
 

60" deck, hydro ports up front, under 500 hours,
it has sat and needs a battery, tubes in the tires,

How do these mowers hold up/ mow like the older ones? My 1712 mows well with a 50c. Its got 1300+ hours now.

Thanks

How much are they asking? :bigthink:

He said make an offer

I'd check with Oak, he's the 3000 series guru. :beerchug:

That should be a pretty good machine with a CH25 in it, cast iron rear with locking differential and the front ports. It scares me that it's not running to see what condition the rest of it is in. If the locking rear is broken then it's probably a parts machine. Can you post a picture of it?

It ran and drove to the spot its in now.

Most of them do. I would take a battery over and see if it will start. If it's not running I would low ball him at $500. He may think it is still worth $5000 because those were around $6500 new IIRC. The front ports and deck should be worth that. What condition is it in and how is the paint?

I drove it to the spot its in now and its in realy good shape. paint and plastic are good

I would be hard pressed to pay $500 for ANY machine that does not run.

If he wants $$$, let him get it running,,,,,,

If you are taking a risk, the price is LOW

Oh, I couldn't agree more!! Non running= low ball price.

Sometimes you even get burnt with "running". I bought a tractor site-unseen that ran. Yeah....... ran on one cylinder. Dropped valve seat on the other. I wasn't too upset as the machine was in excellent cosmetic shape. But, now I have to put a motor in it. (Not fixable..... not cheaply anyway, everything's fixable. :biggrin2:)
