| I'm looking at a very clean Allis Chalmers model 611 5 speed riding lawn mower. Starts right off, everything works, no smoke, deck is good and just runs like a top. There is a small crack in the grill otherwise it seems like a good rider. The guy wants to get $300 out of it. Does this seem like a fair price? Does anyone know anything about these models? I really don't need a riding lawn mower, but it's A-C and its staring right at me. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I need to say "yes" by tomorrow or I'll lose out on it. Thanks for any thoughts! |

$300 for a lawn tractor with no problems is a bargain any day of the week. Hard to find one where the mower has not been banged up. Don;t know much about them, but I'd buy it for that price.

I got a 611H about a year ago for a little less, but had several issues.
$300 sounds like a good deal..

I didn't even know Allis made a lawn tractors until I stumbled onto one on the internet. I started looking around for one, and got this one for free.  Well, since I live in town and don't have room for a big tractor, this will have to satisfy my tractor habit.
I rebuilt the carb, put a battery in it, fired it up, and mowed my lawn- never even sharpened the blades! It ran smooth and cut good even after sitting in a machine shed for 10 years.
So, I put in a little time and more money than I'll admit-
 It sure turned out sweet, but after I used it awhile I realized it was just too small for me. And I wanted to get into the older garden tractors with all those swell attachments.
So now I have a 416, a B-10, a B-1, my brothers D-14, and my fathers B and WD to play with! But the 611H is what got me started in this amazing hobby.
Go ahead and buy it, it is a nice lawn tractor.
