Do not buy the Troybuilt, I run a landscape company and have played this game for years. Both engines are fine but the rest of the mower is junk, the decks are soft steel and the wheels will wear out. The tread will actually fall off the tire. The Briggs is probably an OHV and these are good engines, you can tell by the grey bump facing forward on the very front of the mower. The GX 160 Honda engines are also good engines, a 160 should be 5.5 horse. I will tell you the Honda engine parts are alot cheaper then a Briggs if you ever need them. I bought a crank for one of these Honda engines this year, it was 24 dollars where the last Briggs crank I bought was almost 70. I run 5 landscape crews and have tried every mower brand. My advise would be to find a Honda dealer and buy the bare bones true Honda push mower. Second best would be to bare bones John Deere from a Deere dealer. I am not convinced the ones Lowes sells are the same quality as the ones Deere dealers sell. My third choice, and probably the cheapest would be to buy a craftsman mower from Sears. I would stay as far as possible from any Troybuilt/MTD mower/Cub Cadet, just make sure whatever you buy has the 160/190 Honda, the OHV Briggs, or the Tecumseh with the small oval air filter on the left hand side. Also forgot, the Toro mowers are pretty decent too, with Tecumseh engines, I actually am running 4 of these right now.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
