Its an Ingersoll. 48 inch deck with new blades, plus 3 more brand new blades. Got it with snow chains, snow plow, and snow blower.
$700 bucks.
Was kept in a heated garage. No rust on the tractor. Very little on the deck and snow blower. And it looks like the snow plow has only been used a couple times.

Make sure you do a shake test on the mower deck spindles (that the blades attach to). You dont want any shake!
The towers have bearings top (pulley) and bottom that typically dont get serviced. Do your towers have grease zerks? If so, and no shake, yer good for now. Any shake you need new bearings. It is not a hard job, just a bit messy, but you need to drop the deck. The blades dont need to be removed from the spindles nor the towers from the deck; pop the pulley nuts and knock the spindle/blade out the bottom. Then remove the bearings from the towers.
Thats the basics, there are some other details.

Thanks for the link Dave. When I get a little time I need to download the owners manual.
Quoting: Irrigation Guy Any idea of the hours on it?
It has 904.3. He had just did a complete maintenance/lube/service at 900 hrs. He said the original owner brought it in for routine maintenance once or twice a year. When the guy came to pick it up. He told my buddy he didn't need it anymore. And he sold it to my buddy for
$700 bucks.
Then I showed up a couple days later looking for a used mower to keep at my dad's place, since he had just smashed the other mower I had over there.
I have to give a shout out to my wife. When my buddy told me he would sell it to me for the $700 bucks he paid for it. She said I think you should buy it. I told him he needed to make at least some money on the deal. He said he made money off it every year already.
He owns property next to ours and said he knew I would put it to good use. Very decent guy. ðŸ‘

I've never seen a rider/tractor mower with such tall rear wheels. Nice looking unit.

Got a belt and hooked up the snow blower.
Then wondered how to test a snow blower in August.
So I took it up to the local brush dump and ran it into a smoldering wood chip mulch pile.
It was able to toss the mulch about 4 feet. So I guess it should be able to throw snow.
Also figured out that hooking up the snow plow was easier than hooking up the mower deck, or the snow blower. Lol.
Over all. Glad I got it.
