Why would anyone buy one?


Honda made one. The housing self-destructed in about 3 years of
normal use. I don't think Honda makes plastic mower decks anymore.


It does start and run
everyn time. But so does my cheap Murray. The Murray has a cheap stamped
steel deck, no problems in 4 years with it except for the so called
automatic choke, and one wheel. And you can get parts for it anywhere, even
Home Depot. Cost $169..
