[CLC]

Im going to look at a used Model T walker with 900 hrs on it for $3600, Ill tell you what kind of shape it is in tommorow but you think it is worth it for that many hrs?

[MOW ED]

Need a little mow info.

MT- what year?
GHS or sider?
What engine?
What size deck?
Private owner or commercial?
How many owners?
Whay are they selling it?

Walkers hold value pretty well if it is in decent shape and the price you get depends on many variables.

Ok I went and looked at that walker mower, and heres the deal for 3600 i get a 1997 model T walker mower with a dethatcher 4 sets of blades and a new gearbox it has 910 hrs little TLC and paint will make it look new You think it worth 3600 dollars

GHS ?
What size deck ?
Which motor ?

[CLC]

GHS 7.0
DECK 48"
not sure what engine its gas though

[CLC]

Also it was commercial owner and he got out of it so thats why hes selling

[PIONEER]

The model T come with a 20 hp kohler, optional 25 hp.
I have a 98 price list
tractor ghs 7bu 20 hp 7835.00
48 grass collection deck gear drive tilt up 1375.00
40 in. dethatcher 209.00
total 9419.00
900 hrs is not very high offer him 3000 and if he wont take it go fo 3500 you cant beat the walker for picking up grass

After owning a few, it sounds like a good deal.

[Turfclippings]

sounds like a good deal. i would take it. 900 hours is below average use for being a '97. It is a very good machine they cut nice and low maintenance and hold their value. Go for it! I have one myself and wouldn't hesitate to get another.

[Currier]

Around here it would probably be listed for 5000+. You don't see many being sold by private owners. The dealers get quite a few commercial trade ins from guys buying new every 1 or 2 years (they go for much more than 3600!)
Sounds like a potentially great deal.

[MOW ED]

Sounds like an ok deal but if it has a 25 Kohler in it look for something else. 97's+ 98's had a terrible track record for 25's, yes I had one.
One thing to consider is that if he dethatched with it and you live in a predominately sandy area then I would be very careful. Consider the effects of sand on the gearbox, deck and the blower. It is about time for it to go to lunch if it was played with hard. Take a look underneath and see if it was "sandblasted".
Other than the unknowns of previous commercial use, it seems like a good deal.
Good Luck.

I got a 96 Model T w a brand new 20HP twin cylinder Kohler. I went through it and found only paint and one belt that it needed. It has a 7.0 bushel pack, 48 tilt-up deck, good tires, everything works.

It has 1500 hours on it. The motor was replaced about a month ago, but the commercial owner wanted something faster. ?

I paid $3500 and thought that was a pretty good deal.

[Mowman]

Sounds like a DEAL to me. I paid $3650.00 for a 1993 MT-54 w/SD deck last year. It was in good shape and only had 580 hours on her. 20 HP Kolher Command. So far that engine has run FLAWLESS and uses no oil. I say you are getting a GREAT DEAL.
Good Luck,
Mowman
