Anyone interested in a riding lawn mower?

Recently, I asked for opinions on riding lawn mowers. Given the advise and budget considerations, I decided to buy a craftsman LT 1000 with the 18.5 Briggs and Stratton engine. I paid 1100.00 for it and also bought a little trailer to haul **** in whihc cost another 300.00

This was given to my dad who had a stroke and no longer needs it.

If anyone may be interested, I will sell both for 800.00 to get it out of my yard. I have very little grass and have no use for it.

I would say it has less than 30 minutes on it.

We bought it on Feb 15 and he had a stroke 4 weeks later.

I think we used it once to cut grass.

I keep hearing that. Maybe I'll buy another house that doesn't have a pool so I can cut grass.

Naaaaa!

Big deal! Take Greyhound down, drive it back.

The trip by Greyhound will be shorter, but it will feel longer!
