Save Old Iron 1,571 #3 Posted May 29, 2014 we are going to need A LOT MORE INFO to give an accurate answer. model # is a necessity (or at least a decent picture) are any accessories included ? any known mechanical or electrical issues ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,744 #4 Posted May 29, 2014 and as others have said, we need additional information and/or photos....You know a picture is worth a 1000 words! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Save Old Iron 1,571 #5 Posted May 29, 2014 FYI a new seat, battery and tires can swing the price up $200 to $300 dollars the opposite condition can give you a $100 bargaining chip off the asking price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newbie 0 #8 Posted May 30, 2014 My guess is it is a 73ish as from other pictures I have found Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newbie 0 #9 Posted May 30, 2014 Also no known problems and no accessories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,147 #10 Posted May 30, 2014 My guess is it is a 73ish as from other pictures I have found Its definitely a 1973 with a 36" rear discharge deck. I don't think its any more collectable that other 8hp models from the 70's. Cant help with a restored value. Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,523 #12 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) I purchased a '73 but with a 12 hp Kohler. The price range seems bearable provided it runs well. Check the oil in the engine and rear. Appears the Stallion we're lookin' at was well cared for. Definitely a collectible classic. I paid $300 for the 12 hp in 'bout the same condition. Nice Horsey!

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,477 #13 Posted May 30, 2014 Operator manual Parts list They also had a vertical crankshaft model in 1973 and it is completely different. This may be the mower deck Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
