What's this?

My cheap POS started on second pull.. I bought the cheapest ->

Sears Craftsman mower I could buy (B&S 6HP motor). I used to buy the best self-propelled I could buy,; John Deere, Honda, Toro. Always something in power train broke. They were fixable, but they ALWAYS broke when I absolutely needed them to run. Pushing a self propelled mower is like pushing a truck uphill..heavy as hell.

I finally defaulted to a cheap push mower. I wanted the exercise anyway! Never looked back.
