I'm new to the forums and indeed some input. I have chance to buy a 2001 John Deere 345 that has 1270 hours on it. Kawi liquid cooled power steering hydro lift 48" deck new hood. Tractor looks nice and seems to run good but doesn't have any history with it. The engine surges at idle,but runs good under load. The guy who is selling it also has a spare parts, engine, frame and 2 mower decks without spindles or blades included all for 1700 I would only use for 1 acre lot and 150 ft driveway to snowblowe or plow. Is this a decent deal and what issues with the tractor should I look for. Thanks
