I have worked on a number of models similar to this one. The majority of problems occur, like anything else, from lack of maintenance,
especially the ones with Kohler Courage engines, in this case, not a factor.
This is your typical MTD built lawn tractor and there are many other brands out there that are identical except for body style and paint color, so don't get all gooey just because it sez Cub Cadet.
The most usual non-routine maintenance on these consists of the replacement of the drive belt which can give the unexperienced a hassle.
200 hours is probably typical for it's age, but if well maintained should not be a factor.
