Time for me to move on to an upgraded mower.
This is a 50" deck Cub Cadet RZT50. 22HP Briggs. It's well used with over 500 hours on the engine but it still runs decent. I bought from Phillip about 3 years ago and replaced the lower crankcase housing due to a crack in it.
The Good:
New mower deck belt, new drive belt.
One season old Turf Saver tires, will come with the paddle tires which are still good.
Blades have less than one season on them.
Newer Rural King Battery
Deck wheels have been replaced
Replaced one head 2 years ago.
New air filter and will come with a spare new one.
The Bad:
Uses oil, the crank seal is bad. I add oil to it every 4-5 hours of use.
The PTO clutch is not working. It's really wobbly and has cut out while mowing. I just replaced the switch and it worked for about 10 minutes yesterday before it quit again. A Chinesium PTO clutch is about $80 from Amazon and not horrible to replace. Might need another switch too, which is about $17.
NC4x4 price $500 or BO. It will be up on Facebook for $1000 so I can actually get what I would like for it.
