He had apparent authority to sell their property. Contact a lawyer immediately to document everything. If it was his wife's tv, then it should be his problem, not yours.

That is a "zombie debt". Have a consumer lawyer answer the notice of claim, most likely alleging expiration of the statute of limitations. I would probably also file a counter-claim alleging a frivolous lawsuit and seeking damages for that.
He did not live with me, only spent overnights on weekends and the items are nothing of value. Mostly knick knack or toy type items and a small bag of clothing items.

Do I have a case since he posted this not as an as is said it had things fixed on it and was ready to mow.. he won't come fix or look at it and won't give me my money back. I have the post. Plus all our conversations..

Yes if he said it was ready to mow. You can take him to small claims though if he is a friend might make sense to have a mower mechanic look at it and say what is wrong and give you an estimate of what it'll take to fix it.
Won't pay all expenses. Need a rental for 4 days. They'll only pay for 3. Estimate for repairs $1475. They'll only pay $1100. What are my options. Small claims court with the insured driver possibly?

Assuming no collision, then : repairs (& rental)--have your repair shop talk to their adjuster. If they won't budge, file a complaint with the state insurance commissioners office. If you were injured, contact a member of the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association.
