Hi,
Will probably go for a new Mower.
21' or 22". and self propelled.
Questions, please:
a. Any consensus re Briggs & Stratton vs. Tecumseh in the size
ranges for the mowers I'd be interested in ?
Or, both pretty much the same in quality ?
b. I see Honda Motors on Hsquva brand mowers.
Quite pricey.
Any thoughts on these, motor and/or Mower by Hsquva ? Worth the premium ?
c. Our Ace Hardware has Craftsman with the B&S engine.
Can't imagine who makes Craftsman anymore.
Do they still exist as a real company, or just someone using their name ?
Any thoughts on their mowers ?
Thanks,
Bob
Â* Have you considered re-powering the mower you have ? I purchased a
"used" Honda OHC engine for my tiller , right at a hundred bucks . It
looked brand new - these motors come off equipment with other problems ,
in my case a power washer with a bad pump . The paint on the muffler
wasn't even discolored ... but it darn sure is now , and I'm very happy
with my decision . Another thing , this is a 6 hp motor , the original
Briggs was only 3.5 .
