42" John Deere LA105 Riding Lawnmower- Needs Work

Offering a John Deere LAQ105 riding mower in used, as-is condition. It has a 42" cut and a 19.5HP engine. This mower has run great for over 10 years, and I have serviced it regularly with the John Deere Maintenance kit. It stopped running last week. It just clicks when you try and turn it on. After talking with a lawn service repair professional, he said it sounded like it needs a new solenoid, which is an easy fix and costs $13 at Amazon. The battery is fairly new so I don't think it is that, but I'm not sure. Maybe you are good with mowers? The other issue is that a weld broke on the mower deck. That needs to be rewelded, or a new deck put on. I have it jury-rigger with wire as you can see, and it has held up great, but looks pretty crappy. Hopefully someone with a little know-how and elbow grease can get this up to snuff in no time . That person is not me. Selling as-is, with no warranties implied or given, so please look at all the pictures and decide for yourself. You are welcome to come inspect it if need be before you buy it, but this is being sold to the first person with cash in hand. Sorry, but no deliveries. Thanks for looking!
