Casey, A few years ago I purchased a used GT275. 17 hp single cylinder kaw. No hour meter, but engine and tranny are solid. New rear tires like yours, new belts, new blades, new battery, new tines for 30 counter rotating tiller. I got it for $1500. It is a good mower. Like the comfort ride. I use as a trim mower. I put an hour meter on it to tell me when it's time to change oil.
I also have a mower like the one you returned. I've had no issues with it. I bought it in 2000 with 4.5 hours on it because it has a short in starter solenoid. I think it got shorted by someone getting it wet. I use it as a tirm mower at my other place. It has 330 hours on it without a problem. I just sharpen blades, change oil and filter every 50 hrs.
I wouldn't say there is a lot of difference between my JD and husky. I do like the JD ride a little better. The husky has a bagger. I need to pick up leafs. JD has a tiller. Instead of buying a bigger tractor to put a tiller on, the JD was the next best thing.
Good luck find a bagger for your JD. I purchased a agri-fab vacuum trailer instead. In fall I like to pick up leafs for garden and add to mulch pile.
The guy I got the JD from went crazy with a garden hose. The steering on JD and front spindles had a rust issue because of the water. The mower deck was even worse. The belt guards were in a sad shape, rust. The under side of mower was like nothing I've ever seen. Total rust, Major rust pits.
I have 30 year old mowers, used at rental property, that has never been washed and look much better. I cleaned up under side, gave it an extra coat of rustolum. Rebuilt the belt guards. I'm on the look out for a good used 48 inch deck that someone hasn't taken a garden hose to. George
