RE: I'm sick of cheap-o lawn mowers
i have a craftsman 7HP mower i got about 7 years ago. i used it for our lawn and other people's lawns every week. really it has about 10-13 years of use in it. through the corse of time i gave it two plugs, three air filters and a wheel. i give it a oil change every season. i also run it dry before winter.
shes getting old now, the carb system is broken so now the only speed is too fast. im sure it will last another 2years before it goes kaput.
i dont go to walmart for any appliance/yard equipment or anything. all i get over there is oil, zip ties and tape. walmart buys crap and sells it at low low prices[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
know now that all lawn mowers need to pass emissions (or is it only ride on?) so expect crappy performance on many engines.
