Well Hello Scag Pro's;

Of course I am new to the forum and I am sure you guys just love us newbies showing up for advice so I will say thanks to begin with. I have been looking around for my first zero turn. I have always been a JD 200 series owner and have three of them to mow with and scavenge parts so I dont have to buy a mower. Its more of a retired like to tinker project buy. I have been hunting a scag or exmark to repair/overhaul/rebuild. I have found an older Scag SuperZ SSZ 52" for a fair price with unknown hours. It is well used and reportedly runs and mows with no problems. The question is with a cheap price is this a worthwhile model to invest time and $$$ in? I am going in obliviously thinking pump and drive overhaul along with spindle bearings and even a motor overhaul or swap along with blades and other sundry items. I think this is one of the combo pump Hydrogear BDU-10L units. Any opinions, suggestions or even hate mail :thumbdown:. Again thanks if you care to contribute.

Best Regards
Boot
