Message: [QUOTE="junkjeeps, post: 1044793, member: 26555"] The mowers at HD or Lowe's aren't the same mowers you would buy at the dealerships or small shops. John Deere for sure is different. Thinner gauge metals and cheaper components-wheels, switches, so the big guys can sell them cheaper. Go to a JD dealership and look around and then go compare at HD. Same goes for Husky chainsaws at Lowe's. Go to a small engine shop that sells Husky and then go compare to the one's at Lowe's. Not the same saw. If all he's looking for is a trim mower, get the cheapo $125-$150 MTD at Wallyworld with a Briggs 5HP on it. It will last just as long as the rest of them if you take care of it. Change the oil once a season and clean the air filter and plug. Running Stabil or some equivalent will also help in the off season. Keeping it inside will help you the most. The weather is what kills most of them the fastest. Mark [/QUOTE]
