Default Time for a new mower...

In article , says...

Well, my 24-year-old Bolens lawn mower (old push-style, not
even self-propelled) died on me today with a BANG.
Obviously, something broke inside, valve, connecting rod,
not sure what. After nearly a quarter-century of service I
guess it's time for something new. I don't have the
facilities to repair it, and it's probably not worth paying
to get fixed -- money better spent towards sumthin' new.



I did a quick web-review of Hondas, folks actually were
so-so about one of their models (HRR216K9VLA), that's
generally available at Home Depot, etc.


Try to stay away from HD and Lowes anad such. Go to a local dealer.
The box stores usually have the less expensive lines. Even if not that,
if there is any problem with the mower you can get it serviced much
better at the dealer while it is under warrenty.
