Dropped $340 on a used commercial mower in Spokane that needed a $600 part
Bought it off a guy in a Walmart lot who swore it just needed a new battery, but the hydrostatic trans was shot and the shop quoted me $600 to fix it. Ended up selling the deck for $80 and eating the rest. Anyone got a trick for checking a used mower before you hand over cash?

My buddy fell for that "just needs a battery" line too (guy even had a fresh one sitting there as proof). Trick he uses now: bring a jack and spin the blades by hand, if the deck belts or spindles feel crunchy, walk away.
