I'm thinking of getting this lawn tractor just for mowing:

It has mainly good reviews; anyone have recent experience with this
make? I had one about 40 years ago and don't remember having any major
problems with it.

About my same time frame...I'd look at whose engine it has as the
primary decider...perhaps tranny a little after that. I'm always
somewhat leery of the box store models, though; have you checked whether
it is or isn't a cheaper version of the real thing (like the short-lived
"Sabre" line of JD of a few years ago)?
