Other areas might be different, but I ended up paying $450 for my 501. I did not find any 3 point mowers that were any good for much less, and I looked for a couple of years. It sounds like the one you are looking at is pretty good and may well be worth the price. All new guards would be a big investment.

I saw one go at auction this spring for $275, but everything went low at that auction (I paid scrap prices for some good equipment).

Generally around here any working older sicklebar will go for at least $450.

Saw a nice looking 501 go at auction last month for $75. This was in Monroe, Michigan. $500 sounds high to me, most of 'em go for around $300.

I went and looked at that mower again, It looks like its had the bar totally rebuilt. The shoes or guides are still blue and it runs real smooth. I got him down to $400 but he won't go any lower. It doesn't appear to have been used very much at all.

Thanks

I paid 250 for one this summer, but didn't get the link rod for either spring, or the brackets that clamp to the lower arms. AFter I got it home, I found out I had to spend another 150 bucks completely rebuilding the cutter bar (guards, knife, clips, shims). $400 for one that works good isn't such a bad deal I guess.
