I've had but 2 lawn tractors and they were both junks. 1st 1 rescued out of a dumpster, a sears ST16. replaced 2 main belts and brake band. Have overhauled Tecumseh engine since Co. folded. One center mower deck bearing has gone bad. Have had machine maybe 10yrs. Haven't spent $300.00 on it as yet. Been good machine made to old standards. The other is a Murry chainstore boxed clatterer. Have had it also about nine years bought wee used for cleaning under pasture fences. Have replaced blades twice, and three brigs starter drives.
