briankd 816 #1 Posted July 11, 2016 ran across this C-120 at the local mower shop the owner of the shop just bought it from the family of original owner that passed away.it hasn't ran since 2009 been sitting in a barn since. the kouler turns over by hand deck is excellent shape. didn't have a battery in it or gas or would tried to start it. asked what he wanted for it he says around 400. he wants to get it running before he puts it for sale. was thinking of a complete restore of this. even has maybe original WH seat. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,844 #2 Posted July 11, 2016 $ 400 for a complete running 12 HP is a no brainer, go for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigfish 146 #3 Posted July 12, 2016 If you like it buy it. Play the "would you take" game. If hes got alot of paying business coming through his shop he may not want to take the time to deal with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briankd 816 #4 Posted July 12, 2016 yea Richard that is what I think but have to wait on him to get it running he is swamped with work now. I already told him im interested. thought he might had sold it as is cheaper than 400 but he won't do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #5 Posted July 12, 2016 I'm with Richard. Those rear tires might push me to $450. Odd thing is I'd rather have it than anything new that Lowes has! Meaning it's actually worth far more than it's usual market value but some folks are really hung up on clean and new paint! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briankd 816 #6 Posted July 12, 2016 you got that right dennis . I've never owned a new mower old ones much easier to work on and last a lot longer. they mow grass just as good as them new shiny ones do!! father inlaw bought one of them deere lawn tractor new from a dealer 15 yr. ago it the biggest POS I ever seen will NEVER last as long as old ones.

chip61 655 #7 Posted July 12, 2016 My father in law bought a Cub Cadet 20hp about 8 years ago, and my neighbor has a Kubota lawn tractor that is probably about the same age. They are both decent machines, but break way more often than my old Horses and they don't cut as much grass as I do with mine. (Cub Cadet actually serves as a backup for my neighbors when their machines are down) The horses are also way cheaper and easier to work on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
