Son #2 is in the market for a new walk behind, does anybody know what brand is currently furnished with Tecumseh engines? Would prefer 2 cycle Lawn Boy, but no longer available new. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

and I think the EPA put the kabochas on 2 strokes ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

| A lot of it depends on the size of space you're mowing and how long you want the mower to last. Not a fan of box store mowers, most are throw-a-ways. If small space, there's the battery crowd. Toro used to make 2 grades of mowers, one for box stores and a better grade sold by actual dealers. If cost & space are not a big concern some homeowner's have gone to small commercial walk behinds. The person who does my yard in town uses a Toro walk-behind that is borderline commercial, but he is able to keep rebuilding it with parts he's able to obtain. If cost is a major concern, the box store variety will last a while if taken care of & not abused. |

Son has a corner city lot, maybe .3 of an acre, flat no rocks, only hazards are the sprinkler heads if blades are set to low. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |
