I've had but 2 lawn tractors and they were both junks. 1st 1 rescued out of a dumpster, a sears ST16. replaced 2 main belts and brake band. Have overhauled Tecumseh engine since Co. folded. One center mower deck bearing has gone bad. Have had machine maybe 10yrs. Haven't spent $300.00 on it as yet. Been good machine made to old standards. The other is a Murry chainstore boxed clatterer. Have had it also about nine years bought wee used for cleaning under pasture fences. Have replaced blades twice, and three brigs starter drives. Has survived 2150 Oliver 4x4 running over it and still going strong. Biggest nuisance must pull front steering spindles to grease. One these yrs I should drill and tap grease fittings but that'd be to easy. Both are belt driven gear drives. Every machine is a crap shoot, and I'm one to spend cheap. seems all my good purchases were well made off-brands. Although a cast iron front axel tends to whisper quality. So take a look at an odd one now'n'then. Fernan
