Neighbor has a 330 John Deere Garden Tractor with the mower deck (not sure of size-- looks like a 44" or 48") and the Yanmar diesel engine. It"s hydrostat, and it"s in really good shape. The seat has some cracks, but other than that, it"s very nice.
He just put a new belt on it from the clutch to the deck and agreed to put a new deck blade belt on it if I bought it. His price? $1500.
I"m not sure of the hours or anything since there"s no meter, but the only smoke I"ve ever seen come out of it is black smoke. All of the idiot lights still work, including the glow plug light.
I"m going to mow my 3 acres with it this weekend and see how I like it. We"re really good friends, and he agreed to hold it until then.
It doesn"t have any blow-by, but I haven"t checked the antifreeze yet. I"ll make sure I do before I close the deal.
Did I find a good deal or not? Anything about these 330"s that I need to be on the look-out for?
Thanks!
