Spare parts prices

Yup
I have a Troy bilt horse tiller whose engine was tired and a better mosquito fogger than tiller power. I have had tons of "BUY A PREDATOR" comments on the tractor forums I frequent.
**** no
I found a low hour power washer whose owner didn't take care of the pump for winter and you know what happened.
As it turns out I had just bought a replacement hose for mine but hadn't opened it yet. I got the power washer for the same price as I'd paid for the hose alone from the big box store.
I got this PW for the same price as just that hose cost with a better grade hose than what I had just bought plus a new spray handle and extension wand
So I returned the hose is bought from Lowe's, and I got the one that came with the one I got from CL, an extra set of nozzles, the new spray handle and wand for free. And I used the PW base as a dolly for one of my spare tranny's,
The engine bolted right on, just had to clean the carb. And it's 8hp vs the 6 I originally had.... Yes it's another Tecumseh. I'll take those all day long. A hell of a lot better deal than any Chinese throw a way predator will ever be
