Snapper Hi-Vac Commercial with 5hp WI 185v?

Hi, new member here. I just got an email from a guy who has a Hi-Vac Commercial with a 5hp Wisconsin Robin engine. (WI 185v) He says it's complete and just needs belts. This would be my main mower if purchased. (It is VERY inexpensive). I know these are good mowers, but having never had one before, could somebody give me some tips on what to look for? I don't mind putting a couple of bucks into it, and I'm good with a wrench but I don't want to end up with a mower that needs way too many parts. What's the difference between the commercial and non-commercial hi-vacs?



Also, I know nothing about these engines. From what I see on the forum here, this is a real solid motor. Are parts still available?



Thanks for the help!



Dave
