I know the MTD built, big box mowers are basically crappola, but if you take care of them and can fix their little problems they can be a good value.

I paid $1,500, cash, for a 46" cut Huskee (TSC brand from MTD) with a B&S twin, non-hydro trans, in 2002. I've only had issues with the exhaust valve guide on one cylinder (removed head, peened the thing into place with a chisel and bolted it back on), replaced starter gear and did starter alignment (with a hammer) so it didn't break again, two front tires, a deck belt, a drive belt, a broken deck bracket (a quick weld with my cheapy 120V mig welder), and a thingy on the front steering arms (don't recall what it's called), a set of blades and a battery. That's it for 14 years of use on about 2 acres, and it's still going, used it this weekend. Obviously most of that is normal and expected maintenance. And, it could just crap out completely at about any time but at this point I don't care.
