A local classified site has a JD 265 listed on it. The owner, who admits he hasn't had it long and claims to have taken it in lieu of payment for something, states it is a 13 hp and claims it runs great. The picture doesn't look to bad, and the deck is included. He's asking $250, which makes me wonder what's wrong with it. Tractordata "dot" com states it is a late '80s to early '90s model and should have a 17 hp Kawasaki with a hydro tranny. In the picture, there is only one foot pedal on the right side that looks more like a brake pedal, and there appears to be a shifter on the fender.
Does anyone have knowledge of this model? This is not a model I've even heard of, much less know anything about it. How suitable would this model be for light garden tractor duty? What do you think of the price, provided it runs and the deck is usuable?
