I do hear what you are saying. It's fine to be cautious, and some of you were doing just that, being cautious. On the other hand, some were getting on the "Run, The Sky is Falling" soapbox.
I've been around a few years myself. With the information provided, it's pretty hard to give sound advice. The fellow could use the guys 15' mower and break his 100hp tractor down. He could use his smaller tractor and break both the tractor and mower.
There is an old saying that says something about: "IF" Your Aunt had certain PARTS, She Would be your Uncle..but that doesn't warrant telling someone things seem fishy and to run.. Just look at the best option, cover your rear, and do it!! Don't analyze it to death.
If the 15' mower looks to be usable, and the understanding is if it breaks it's on the owner of the 15' mower, then it's a no brainer. IMHO.
Now, I am in Central Kansas, and it definitely appears, from listening to stories on here for the last 17 years, that different parts of the country are not quite as friendly and helpful as most are here, so maybe he should just run and hide. I should probably take back my advice to do what makes the most sense. Bob

Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
