Price Reduced John Deere GT275 Garden Tractor Mower with running FC540V engine
GT275 for sale with running FC540V engine. It is in running condition but cannot be used for normal work until a few repairs are made. About 10 years ago a connecting rod broke and ruined the top end of the engine. After finding and putting in a used engine, this one became my back up mower about 9 years ago. A few years ago the engine started leaking a little around the crankcase gasket. It was not a big deal to me due to only using it a few times a year. It never leaked enough to require any oil adding between yearly oil changes. It has now started leaking quite a bit of oil around the crankcase bottom gasket. I suspect that the gasket finally gave out. Because I have two other tractors, I really dont have a need for this one, and dont want to spend the personal time to pull the engine and replace that gasket. Here is what I know good and bad. Engine : In addition to leaking crankcase gasket, I think it is also leaking oil from the bottom crankshaft seal. You would normally replace that seal when you pull the engine to replace the crankcase gasket. The engine itself starts easily, and it does not show any blue smoke that would indicate it is burning any oil. No unusual noises from engine. I have a short video of the engine starting / running available to text to you. Body the hood, like all of these, gradually cracked and fell apart over the years. Frame, fender section, etc. Seat is there but in poor condition. It steers fine a little loose maybe. Lift arm to lift / lower deck or attachment works fine. Tires 3 have been plug repaired numerous times. One front tire new with no plugs. I have to add about a pint or so every year. Electrical battery good, starter good, no lights (no hood), PTO switch works, etc. No known electrical issues.
