Hi Richie: My only concern is if you would be able to replace the carburator with an adjustable type?![](/components/FCKeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif) I have the Toro PP and like the self drive feature. My only beef is the "locking" of the wheels when I try to pull it backwards. bbwb

Hey folks, That Husqvarna looks great and I think I'm going to go with it. Only Lowes seems to carry it around here and I'll check with them tomorrow and see if the price will drop on Monday. I really did think Lowes would have had it for a lower price than $399.00. Rob, I've been looking at many mowers, and most seem to be front wheel drive. I thought it would be a good idea to check with the forum to see if they did work the bugs out of them. I will certainly bag the grass, but I do like having the option of mulching. I'd always prefer a rear wheel drive mower over front wheel any day of the week. It's just that the Sears model with the Honda engine was the right price for me. BBWB, I won't be replacing the carb on the mower with an adjustable type. My Toro snowblower really needed that modification, but I can live with a bit of RPM hunting on a mower, assuming it happens at all. Thanks you all for your opinions, I'll be sure to let you know in the next few days what I purchased and give you a full report on it. Richie

Hi Marshall, Thanks for the tips and I'll be sure to check it out. I do have a Sears 17hp lawn tractor, so this walk-behind mower is used for those areas that are not practical for the riding mower. Hopefully Lowes will have all the models in stock. Rob, I didn't know I could bring an Ad to Lowes and have them match the price. Thanks again! Richie
