Roughly what would this 518H have cost me new in '88

[StWeiler 6]

I've scoured for a source and can't find one.

 

I'm curious what a brand spanking new 518H w/42SD deck would have cost new in 1988?

deck was extra, note the scribbling :48 SD was $800 clams so the 42 SD was probably $500-600 maybe.

Just for comparison:

$3199 in 1988 would be equal to $6,287.97 today according to the inflation calculator below.

Well if you look at the ad a 520H was $3999 not $3199. So that would probably put one today at somewhere around $7000.  I haven't looked at prices for new mowers in years other than when I happen to be at Sears or the big box stores and walking by.

I'm Also curious what a brand new C-141 w/42RD deck & snowblower or snow plow would have cost new in 1978 or 1979?.....Earle
