Has the B&S motor though. Trying to avoid that.

That $50 gift card is worthless unless you are going to have Chemlawn treat your lawn with it.

Wonder if Home Depot would let me start up the store model to see if it will move at my pace.

You would not happen to be making your way down to Wichita before you make your purchase, would ya?

If so, you are welcome to swing by my place and mow my lawn. Really get to know the machine before you buy it!

lol

You can meet me in Hutch a week from Sunday and I will mow someone elses lawn.

GDI, I'll be in KC. Going to a Royals vs Yankees game with my cousin.

I own a 21-year-old-Toro with a Suzuki engine. The worthless self-propel gear box failed 8-10 years ago, so I took it out and lightened it up. Just change the plugs every 3 years, change the oil once a year, clean the breather twice a year. Best $450 I ever spent.

Yeah, I removed the self propel feature on mine too. Seemed like a great idea to have it at the time. Till I figured out that it was making me take twice as long to mow my lawn with it enabled.

You didn't dig into it and remove the one-way pins from near the wheels.

Doesn't matter now. It's dead. But no.

I have driven this thing into the ground anyway, the rear wheels are falling apart and replacement wheels cost more than I think they are worth. Would rather just update the whole thing and go for another 10+ years.

Does the trash man pick up lawn mowers?

This one looks decent too. HD has it marked down to $199 in this weeks ad. Probably none left on the shelf though.

Does it have combat experience?

With that color? Too bright.

Pass you gotta find a mower that cut some of the jungle of Vietnam man!

Damn neighbors and their plant gardens. :cuss:

I could go on and on about the horror stories on those damn sears lawnmowers. Being the merciful guy that i am i will spare you the details and give you the facts. Just buy Toro. Best thing i ever did.

One day. Perhaps a day when we get intoxicated and share stories over the days gone by when we had those awful lawnmowers to use in out everyday like. I shudder to think about it. We could show each other physical scars on our bodies just like on the movie Jaws of the pain and ordeal of just owning those hideous creatures.

I also have a JD 42"rider Lawnmower that is equal my pride and joy.
