Nice score!
Got me a nice score myself, mower came into the shop, wasnt running right, the other tech was working on it, found it blew a head gasket, pulled the head and a little water had got in the cyl and gave it a light coat of surface rust. Customer comes and looks at it and doesnt want to fix it. Asks if anyone wants to buy it, I overhear it and walk over, ask if hes selling it, he says yep, I ask how mutch and say $100. I pause for a second letting it sink in, thinking hes kidding. I reach in my wallet, pull out a $100 bill, hand it to him, he puts up his hands and say "she's your problem now" I kinda stood there for a second stunned. I had just so happened to have the money in my pocket as I had just sold another mower I bought and fixed. But I have never had one like this.
John deere X585, 2 cyl kawasaki fuel injected, liquid cooled engine, power steering and deck lift, shaft driven 62 inch deck, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. New these things were somewhere between 8-10K. I see used ones online for sale for 5-7kThese are the largest "lawn mowers" JD makes before you go to a actual compact tractor.
Gonna rebuild the engine for a couple hundred bucks, clean it up, and make a few bucks.
