All,
I'm looking at a used IS1500Z at a local dealer. Trouble is, the hour meter died some time back and the dealer can't tell me how old it is, only that it was homeowner-owned and traded. He believes it was mid-2000s.
Can anyone help me figure out how old this thing is from the serial number or other specifications? I believe it had a 52" cut and 25hp Kawasaki (FH721V?) engine.
And once I get that, anything I should know about these mowers? I'm trying to make a decision between it and a couple of entry-level residential units. The only thing I thought I read online were issues with not getting as good a cut as expected and exhaust burning the lawn when idling, but I don't know if those issues are specific to particular years.
Thanks in advance!
