Depends on how bad you want or need it. $500 to $1000 depending on condition of motor.

Should have a Kohler motor in it, check for front & rear leaking seals on it. See if the dipstick smells like gas, a lot of them leaked gas into the crankcase because of a clogged breather filter. Check the rear axle seals too.

We paid $550 for ours. Its a DA version, but in mint condition.

If the engine runs OK, and the Hydraulic Lift and Hydrostatic Trans. work OK;

probably close to $1,000.
