It did run, but knocked. I pulled the engine and have a V-twin awaiting install when I get the time. If you get it a engine will more than likely be in it's near future. I hate to knock the KT's but their life is all about gone in most of them. $700 is way too much unless it has a replacement engine. (KT series II or a Mag, or even a V-twin.) Because of the almost guarantee of engine failure I don't want to give more than $350 for one of those machines. But, if it's nice..... your call. All your attachments that fit the QL you have will attach to it no problems. But, as Brent said, you will have to change the center pulley on your deck to make the mower work. All in all if you can get them down on price it wouldn't be a bad buy, and I say that without seeing it. Mainly just because I like those machines.  |
LOL, don't want to give more than $350? Jon, a nice original 682 with a nice 44in deck will bring $800 at least IMO, and that's because I have seen it.
don't start like last time.
