The 2nd picture looking at the engine.At least the one has a Kohler engine. I'd say the visual/cosmetic wear matches the hours. The other problem is not having a trailer to pick them up with but it's easy enough to run by uhaul.
They're in NC, If I went for them I would pickup both and repair them to resell the 2nd. There's also a Mower and 2 other attachments available from a member down here I would pickup as well.
I'm handy and don't mind fixing old equipment. My zero turn mower I got from my Father in Law after he wore it out. I rebuilt the engine and started using clean motor oil in it rather than topping it up with used oil like he used to...Farmer stuff ...
Looking at the pics again, is that wheel cracked?
Notice it has a yellow oil filler cap on both valve covers. That's not normal. Doesn't mean anything other than the valve cover with the oil filler cap has been replaced with one that has an oil cap. Would be curious to know why?
Mine had a rocker nut loosen up, the rocker turned sideways, the push rod popped out from under the rocker and got thrown through the valve cover. Caused no permanent damage other than I had to put the push rod back, tighten the nut back down, and replace the valve cover. Maybe that's all they had laying around. Maybe they purchased the incorrect one. Maybe it's had a head replaced or swapped. Who knows? Just an observation.
