In my opinion if it is for the tractor alone, no attachments or mower deck, the engine runs, doesn’t smoke or rattle, the tires hold air, it has a good battery and can be run with a reasonable servicing then yes $250 dollars is an average price. If it has all of the above and is in pristine original cosmetic condition that price would be a steal.
These are just my opinions.
