2008, 48" deck, with 1,300 hours. Commercial mower is selling. I am a homeowner. He uses and prefers Mahindra ZTR's - IIRC. Pole Barn kept and owned only for 6 months (no idea yet about former owner). Has terrific (looking) deck and all-around metal. Some light rust on bright metal and coil springs from salt laden, mid-Florida, coastal environment.
I have neither seen nor driven this mower - yet. Monday I will take a hard look. In the meantime, I will be foraging the Scag Forum for Tiger Cat "problems", concerns, and pre-purchase advice. I am not new to the Tiger Cat. I owned one, brand new, with 300 hours, that went to the EX.
Reading through the "Welcome" posts I note a number of considerations from others that I want to ask the owner about (not known conditions - just Q's to ask):
1. OVERHEATING
2. STAYING IN GEAR
3. OVERDRIVING THE WHEELS (TOO MUCH TORQUE)
4. HYDRAULICS STICKING
5. OIL CHANGES
6. CLUTCH LAST REPAIRED/REPLACED
7. BACKFIRES
8. GOVERNOR RACES
9. CUT OFF SWITCHES IN GOOD CONDITION
10. ZERK FITTINGS ON SPINDLES
11. ACCESSIBLE CENTER SPINDLE ZERK FITTING
12. ZERK FITTINGS ON FRONT WHEELS
13. ZERK ON PARKING BRAKE ACCUATOR
14. BATTERY DRAIN
15. LOCAL DEALER
16. TIRES PLUGGED
17. BELT REPLACED
18. OIL CHANGED
19. SMOKE
This list in not comprehensive. Is there a "Used Mower" advice section or thread?
