The only thing I would add here, as the owner of two JD#5 mowers and a heavy user of both, is that $150 is a scandalous price for a mower in "fair" condition. Good, working mowers of this type can be purchased for well under that at farm auctions and a lot of them are coming up. I paid $35 for my first in fair condition and $65 for the second in excellent condition. All depends on area but $150 is over the top. Don't shoot the messenger, please. I had a guy ream me out here a few years back when I suggested that he reconsider paying $350 for one. If you are going to use it, make sure you keep a couple extra pitmans on hand and carry tools on the tractor. These mowers are like the old nursery rhyme...when they are good they are very, very good. But when they are bad...(your hay gets rained on)
