I that old POS Huskey in the pics above i bought used 10 years ago for $400 and put maybe $200 into it since ive owned it. I bought it with the intentions of getting by with it till it took a crap them i would upgrade, well it keeps going and going and going. It's a 21HP B&S, 46" cut, gear driven. I (er HE) mows 1.7 acres every week and takes a couple hours.
