I wouldn't call it "baby blue" - it's more of a "Smurf blue". :) The color is a little washed out in that picture due to the bright sun. <br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>I'm not sure about price - I was thinking somewhere in the $800 neighborhood. Sales of these are such low volume that it's hard to figure out what a reasonable price is. I've looked on ebay some, and prices seem to be all over the place.<br> </p> <p><br> </p> <p>Mike<br> </p> <p><br> </p> <div id="Signature"> <div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:; margin:0"> <div> <hr> </div> <div>Michael S.

I restored this the first time around about 10 years ago (stripped most of it apart and stripped all the paint off, repainted, replaced all bolts and screws with stainless steel ones, etc.). Last summer I did a partial restore, rebuilding the three mower deck motors (and adding the lower rings underneath the deck to greatly reduce vibration), and repainting (but without stripping this time).

I'm in the seacoast New Hampshire area. The tractor works nicely. The only issue is that there may be an overly sensitive thermistor, as after mowing for a while (doing most of my yard) if the battery voltage drops too low, it keeps you from going into higher speeds. The batteries are I think 3 years old, maybe 4. </span></p> <p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> Any suggestions on asking price?</span></p> <p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p> <p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">Thanks,</span></p> <p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">Mike</span></p> <p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p> <p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p> <div id="Signature"> <div name="divtagdefaultwrapper"> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center; background:white"> <span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> <hr size="2" width="100%" align="center"> </span></div> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">Michael S.
