This thing will not die. I bought it for $70 off Craigslist in 2012. The damm thing cuts grass in the spring and leaves in the fall...all on a steady diet of old fuel. The gas I've been burning is old 2-stroke gas that was a year old when I started using it in the spring. The only maintenance I do it change the oil and knock the dust out of the air filter once a year. I think I changed the spark plug once. Today was probably my last big leaf day for the year and I emptied the bag 17 times. Not bad for a cheap Chinese mower.
I bought an old Murray from a garage sale a few years ago that lasted about 3-4 years......cost me $10.
Nothing wrong with that! I was left an old yardmachine ride on mower when I bought my house. I cant justify just replacing it, but I secretly hope it will die so I can get rid of it. It leaks oil so you smell it burning, the belts are worn, and its just tired in general. Cuts the lawn and picks up the leaves every time Ive asked it to though. Well, sometimes I have to hit the starter first!
