There is a guy over buy me that just sells trash for outrageous prices... takes a long time but someone always takes it. I called him on a 12 year old lawn tractor once while I was shopping around. He said he rebuilt the whole thing himself "top to bottom" and only wanted 3750 and for a cool 4100 I could take the weighted wheels and the plow attachment as well.
I ended up buying an absolutely amazing machine brand new from husqvarna with over twice the power, a much larger mower deck and auto trans for 1300... I got ripped off.
