"Bought this very used up and rusty. The hours are unknown. I have used it for 19 years to mow 3 acres. It has used one (1) mower belt, no spindles, a couple sets of blades, several fuel pumps and batteries. It has the same tires (several rear tubes) and they are worn but usable. It has done some smooth finish mowing and some trail blazing. I used it to pull a neighbor's Ford van up a hill and into a very steep driveway. It surprised him and me both. No big box store gas mower will ever part me from this. It is not as fancy or with as many features as a John Deere or Kubota, but it gets the job done. The engine has run flawlessly since I bought it."
