This is a brand new motor.It was purchased some years back for our effluent pump but at the same time we put in an electric effluent pump and this was kept as a backup. It has never been used. It is electric start and is still attached to a yardmaster effluent pump but it is a vertical shaft motor so can be used in ride on mowers. It has a bit of surface rust on the metal parts due to being stored in a shed. The new price for this motor is $2452.00
