I've not been able to get ahold of the guy with gravely, so I'm going to look at one of these mowers tomorrow and if they are in as good as shape as they appear, buy one.
The lx 178 is liquid cooled 17hp v twin Kawasaki, 42 inch deck, and the tuff torq k61 hydro. Mower looks excellent and has no broken plastic. Guy says it runs good and is tight. He's not had it long and doesn't know the history of the mower. $1000 bottom dollar on it.
The lx277 is a newer, air cooled 17hp v twin, aws, 48 inch deck, with the tuff torq k62. It looks just as good except newer. But I don't know a thing about the aws, how much of a maintenance item can it be?? Any difference in the k61 vs the k62?? What about the air cooled vs the water cooled v twins?? Again, owner hasn't had it long and doesn't know the history. $1300 is the bottom dollar on the lx277.
Thanks again and I promise I'm buying a mower this week, even if it's a box store piece of crap.
