John Deere L130 - It runs & moves. I bought it to fix it up and resell, but I just don’t have the time before winter. Machine has hours.
• Kholer Engine - smokes on initial start (valve seals - common, either replace or just run it. Smoke goes away after initial puff),
• Engine runs - but definitely needs a tune up (~$30)
• 46” deck - needs complete rebuild (kits on Amazon, that include blades, spindles, idlers & belt for ~ $120)
• Tires are decent & seem to hold air
• 2022 battery - may be able to recondition it, or just replace it for $35)
• Typical John Deere Paint - luckily for you, Rust-Oleum sells JD yellow & JD green for $8 a can).
You’d be into this machine for under $600 easily - and have a fully serviced and tuned up John Deere. That was my plan, I just ran out of time.
$300 - otherwise I’ll just end up doing above over winter and sell it for a good profit. Located in Weare NH - bring a trailer and we can drive it right on.
