Just ran across this on CL. http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/grd/5522984029.html" rel="nofollow - http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/grd/5522984029.html Looks like a good start for someone wanting to get into these little tractors. Could someone recommend a fair starting price for this tractor? Is this a good model? Thanks.

I'd love that setup. Blade is the 5 position one that you can adjust from the seat. Worth $150-$250. B112 with vari speed is worth $500 or so. Rear weights are worth maybe $100 or so. If it ran it would easily be worth $600 or better. If it turns over and feels like it has good compression it could be made to run pretty easily. Solid machines that you can still get most parts for. I do think the vari speed is a bit finicky and can be temperamental vs the straight 3 speed or hydro. Tiller thing looks like something for a walk behind, certainly not original equipment.
