About 4 years ago, I picked up a 1998 Lawn-Boy 6.5 HP rear wheel drive 2-stroke mower for $20 at a garage sale. The prior owner could not seem to get it running right. After taking apart the "plastic" carburetor 3 times and going thru it with a fine tooth comb, I got it running. It has been running perfectly ever since and is by far the best mower I have ever owned. Very, Very powerful! The rear wheel drive speed is adjusted by simply putting more pressure on the drive handle which puts more tension on the little V-belt. Despite this inherent "slippage" the belt still looks like new. I have a lot of steep banks to mow and the traction of the rear wheel drive is amazing. Another plus for the 2-stroke engine is the full lubrication no matter how steep an angle the mower is operating at. I use nothing but Lawn-Boy's own "low-ash" two-stroke oil and despite extreme heavy duty usage, I see no difference in performance over the past 3 full seasons of use. Great mower; great buy!
