I don't think we won't talk about the commercial walk behind Pro 50's... just not as many people here with experience with them. I have used one and did not think it was all that bad. Don't like it as much as my Scag walk behind.. but not a bad mower all the same. The Kawi motors are hard to beat in my opinion. I have a couple of FB460v's that I love. I would say all the parts are available if you really want to rebuild a well worn Pro 50 walker but my question is it for the fun of doing it or for a daily user? If you are looking just for a good mower for daily use, I would suggest getting something that a local dealer supports. Exmark, Scag, Toro, John Deere, etc. are all good machines but you need dealer support for them. I am die hard Gravely but I also use them as a hobby and have extras around for when one is "taking a nap" awaiting parts as there are few parts locally available for them.
Back on topic, just because it runs doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered a parts machine and that's what that one sounds like.
Just my $ .02
