I have a Satoh 650G for sale. The tractor has only 850 hrs. and runs great. It also has a 60 in finish belly mower that comes with it ). I purchased the tractor 2 summers ago to cut the field that surrounds my house, about 4 acres. I ran a 5 ft brush hog (rotary mower) behind it. Last fall (in fact the last time I was going to cut the field), I was sitting on the tractor in the garage while it was warming up. I had the tractor in neutral and had the clutch depressed, I heard a slight metalic "clink" and after that I could not get the tractor in gear unless the engine was stopped. This spring I removed the inspection plate off the bottom of the clutch housing and discovered that one of the piviot bolts that holds one of the pressure plate fingers had snapped off. I really do not have the time or the tools to separate the tractor, remove the pressure plate and have it repaired. I called 2 different clutch rebuilding shops here in town and they both thought they could repair (replace) the snapped off stud since it's threaded into the pressure plate. I paid $2,900 for the tractor 2 summers ago ( I"ve put about 80 hours on since I've purchased the tractor). I'd like to get $1,600 for the tractor. The tractor also has turf tires that are in excellent condition. I live west of Miwaukee Wis. about 30 miles . Regards, Dave
