What 2 mowers do I keep? Original Message Feb 17, 2005 11:10 am
have only room for 2 mowers- others are going. Question is which 2 do I keep? I don't mind putting alittle work in them, but really want to keep the ones that are of better quality..and have a better durability record. I'll list what I have ( basic description as I don't have model numbers accessable) all about 10 years and older. (1)Honda Harmony 215 - needs new head otherwise good, no bag. (2) Snapper- looks to only need cover over drive disk area, and tune up (3)Lawnboy silver series with a 6.5 hp Brigg's on it.- minor paint wear. steel deck (4) another Lawnboy identical to #3 except has a 5 hp tecumseh- motor seems to burn oil..1/4 qt per hour. (5) 2 very old magnisium deck lawnboys. one has steel cover that sits sideways, other has yellow plastic larger cover. the second one is self-propelled...niether is in running condition yet-but may need just TLC. I know this really isn't much to go by, but just looking for a general idea on what to keep based on value and relibility. thanks for you guy's opinion- I respect all your opinions and experiance Gene

Toro does have the alluninum deck and I think it is a susuki motor..but deck is pited and alot of paint flaked off. also missing some hardware or something down by drive system? not good enough to keep I don't think. thanks again Gene p.s. need to ask another question but will start a new thread for it.
