I dunno, What does a good used transmission go for?

The diesel engine will run any deck that will fit under the tractor. But the big decks usually cost good money.

It's also possible that it's a broken pin and the drive shaft isn't turning the transmission.

I believe he is a little high on his price, but I'd probably pay $1000.00 for it, I don't think it would take all that much to make a decent tractor out of it.

Absolutely worst case, it will part out for a lot more than that.
