I bought this mower in the late 90's from the Depot, I believe, and the thing has always been one of my most reliable mowers. Briggs 6.0 I/C engine, front wheel drive, but very heavy. Last year I finally started replacing things on it like the throttle cable, hubcaps, and belt. This spring the recoil rope broke, so there she sits. Haven't had time for it, so have put it on Craigslist...
