Might be worth a call. They can probably transport to any of their places.

With a 3/4 acre lot you should first weed eat the entire thing and then buy one of these: https://laurelleaffarm.com/item-pages/antique-Trojan-manual-push-reel-lawn-mower-WWI-vintage-steel-wheels-Laurel-Leaf-Farm-item-no-k81084.htm

You can find them for sale on Craigslist. It will help you get in shape for hunting.

That mower looks well taken care of. Seems like a darn good deal.

I have a LT180 that needs a new deck and plastic hood. I'm seriously thinking about buying this x300

I mowed Saturday. Briggs motor fired right up and ran like a champ just as it has for so many years now.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Awesome, looks like it has a fabricated deck?  That is a GOOD step up and I am sorry I did not mention it before.  The fabricated decks are much more durable than the typical lower end stamped steel ones.

I got the same one, it's treated me very well so far zero issues mowing a lot and generally abusing it. 
A rental house, mother in-law house, and my place which my place all by itself is a bad mowing environment rocks, dirt, dust... mowing fence lines and pasture stuff. 

I'm not in love with the bagger though, I pulled loose the bolt holding the chute  (ripped out the rubber chute bolt hole) and I've got baling string holding the chute up so it don't flop down.  It plugs kinda too easy on wet heavy grass too.   I like the mesh bags though, they've held up I thought I'd have them ripped by now but they good  :tup:   It's just that chute and boot area around the deck I don't like.

make sure you take the air filter off right away and apply a thin film of grease on the sealing area so you don't suck dirt/dust past the filter media where it seals up.  Not joking, do it first thing. 


I got the Kohler engine,  but check it if you have the kawasaki version too.   I heard the Kawi's run a little better/smoother but can develop oil leaks over time. 

Honestly I've never had an engine go bad on a mower, I tear the mower up first and the engine is always still going strong  :chuckle:
