A new one? Brother I live on 1100 a month! This thing hasn't got 50
hours on it! Didn't use it but once last yr before the belt broke, in
was only used from late July thru Sept the yr before.... So it was
used for a season and a half!
I know we are a throw away society but C'mon man!


Facts:

1. Tall grass breaks McLawnmowers. Don't overstress your McLawnmower by
letting the grass grow more than an inch between cuttings.

2. Garage it. Don't store it outside in the rain.

3. And for the love of God, don't store it with ethanol gas in the
tank. Ethanol gas is evil.


I bought a Honda several years ago and it has been trouble free. Worth
the extra expense. Only serviced once as it required maintenance I
could not do myself.

The Honda mower has a fuel shut off valve to easily run dry at end of
season. My generator has one too but not my snow thrower. Shut off
valve probably only costs 25 cents for manufacturer to add to machine
but save owner a lot of fuel headaches.
