Think about saving yourself 400 bucks for a new decent one and that might change your mind. You also have a rider too don't you? Blow those up and see what the bill is on an 18+ HP engine.
yup, its an huskee LT4200 with a B&S 18 HP intek engine
actually, funny story about that mower
like i said, this was about 15 years ago, and me and the wife were renting a house out in lowell
it had a nice backyard but the guy we rented it from required me to mow it
so, i was kinda on the look out for a riding mower
so me and the missus were walking downtown as we passed by a tractor supply company
and im looking at the mowers, and the price tag and they are all 1000, 1100, 1000, 500, 1200
500?
i wonder what the story is there
so i go in, and the sales person whats the deal with the 500 dollar mower out there ?
well, he says, we sold it earlier this spring and the brakes went out on it
so we fixed them, under warranty
then they went out again, and we fixed them again, but now the guy who bought it didnt trust it anymore, and so we took it back
long story short, im selling it half off, but with zero warranty
so i looked it over, and it had every thing i wanted (decent engine, hydrostatic transmission) well, everything except for a hitch, since i intended to pull my boat with it
so i tell the sales person, tell you what, throw in a 1 7/8 hitch and enough gas for me to drive it home and you got yourself a deal
that was 15 years ago, and i put in 2 batteries and one set of blades and that is ALL she ever needed
And the oil looks FINE
