About 3yrs ago I was looking for a good used 12hp for my 1250. A guy I used to work with had one for $200 but he said I had to take the whole tractor. His dad just passed and it was his but he needed $. I wasn't expecting much but he said engine ran great. When I picked it up to my suprise it was garage kept and in great condition, it had bar tires on rear and a newer battery. It was missing deck, mule drive, and pto. It started right up and ran great. I actually decided it was too nice to use for parts so found parts to make it complete. My 1250 still sits but, I tore apart engine and I am going to rebuild it.
Kieth Bliss $250 or so isn't too far out of line if it runs. I'd try to talk him down to $250 and withold $100 to see if it runs first!
