What exactly do you expect for $150 and why do you leave your mower
out in the rain?


Yeah. For $200 I recently bought a used 12.5HP Snapper riding mower.

Why not leave it out in the rain? Won't hurt the mower any more than hosing
it down when the job's done.


Electric connections, slide cables and switches corrode. Moisture can
cause electric shorting. When you hose it its often hot and dries out
fast in the sun.
