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)?



It has a B&S engine, manual transmission. I checked one out at the

local HD this evening and it had a Husqvarna sticker on it.



But is it the same model as the main line or a cheap knock-off branded

specifically for HD?



And, _which_ B&S engine?
