In the market for a cheap(budget is currently strapped and need something cheap) and have been looking for something used. Can seem to find anything other than Deere's that's not complete junk used. Here's what I've came across but I've never owned anything other than cheap MTD/AYP mowers so some help would be great..
JD LX176, repowered at some point with an 18 1/2 hp Briggs vangaurd(I think it was vangaurd, guy wasn't %100 sure) v-twin. 38 inch deck, looks good other they they had to remove the hood hinges and make some cuts to hood so that it'd fit over the bigger briggs motor, asking $425 and is an hour and half away.
JD 265, all original, garage kept, no mention of hours(don't know if it has an hour meter or not, just read the ad on this one), suppose to have been the wifes mower, just bought a new one. Suppose to have the 17hp kaw and a 46 inch deck. Looks nice, asking $1100 and is 2 hours away.
JD 245, all original, suppose to run and mow great, 14hp kaw and 48inch deck. Only thing wrong is the key is broke off in the ignition but it still starts with a key, looks good, asking $795 and is about 3 hours away.
JD GT242, all original, 14 hp kaw, 38 inch deck, looks good, nice tires, asking $800, about 2 hours away.
JD 316, all original, fair to good shape, 1335 hours, Onan p218g(18hp), 50 inch deck, $900, about 3 hours away.
JD 212, looks to be all original, 12 hp Kohler, 46 inch deck I think, looks good, duy didn't mention the variator, but said the mower worked good, asking $389, and is about 2 and half hours away.
I've got to mow around an acre an half, lots of hills and unlevel ground, and lots of obsticales. Whats the best buy and why? I have seen a couple of Craftsman GT 5000 mowers, that look good, in the $500 to $900 range, but kinda figured the JD's were a better buy at that price. Sorry for the long post and thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
