Great little tractor! I think that's a great starting point. Mine didn't have any options (no cigarette lighter, hour gauge, lights, etc -- it's a stripper model but it's just going to be a work tractor for now. Good luck with your search! They're out there -- I have watched some stuff out there on various sites getting their price dropped after a few weeks and then I go check them out. I missed a $300 then slashed to $150 Work Horse with deck, chains and plow... was mad about that -- couldn't go get it as I had family stuff going on that week... but they come around. Just need a little patience... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I scored a 417-A and 3000w WH gen and a parts mower and few decks, tiller,kt17 yesterday They're not as common here in eastern Missouri, and when you do find one, they bring more money than I think they should. For instance, a worn out 520-H for $1900. A mis-matched 953 for $1500, etc. The cheap ones are too far gone for my taste and skill level (plus time). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 7,846 #28 Posted July 14, 2016 I waited for years to find a good unmolested C-161 Automatic in good original condition. So if you have a particular model in mind, like many have said patience is the key. Even if you don't have a particular model in mind, you've waited this long in life for one so wait for a GOOD one to come along and you will be glad you did!! Good luck and when you do find one, WE WILL WANT PICS!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,051 #29 Posted July 14, 2016 They are out there. I see 'em on CL and occasionally on eBay. I ran across one at a yard sale a couple of years ago too. Each one I've found has mower deck with it. I bought an entire tractor to get the 36" deck a couple of years ago also. and good luck with your search. You have to be persistent and ready to spring into action with the cash when you find one! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
