 Topic: AC All Wheel Steer Mower
Posted: 17 Apr 2017 at 3:26pm |
Howdy, Not much about these AC mowers. They are discontinued.
Any value in these mowers? Buy one new just not using it.

Howdy CrestonM, Just called this dealer, Gibson Co-Op. Said they hadn't built these mowers for some time but he could get parts. But ad comes up with pic of AC All wheel Steer?
Thanks Kurzy

I believe these were only made for a year or so. Most who liked AC were looking for a better built mower than what these were. We had high expectations and these mowers just couldn't make the grade IMHO.

It's just a cheap mower with a good name. I believe the parent company is MTD.
Companies like to do this a lot. They make a cheap product then they put a good brand name on it like Bell & Howell, Allis-Chalmers, Curtis Mathis, etc.
They just try to get a quick buck and destroy a namebrand while doing it.

If these things are duds, imagine what they'll be worth in 30 years!

My dad bought a regular steer when these first came out a few years ago. He mows a large yard and although not the quality of years gone by, it has been virtually trouble free other than a drive belt. 46" cut. AC130. My son also bought one and it also has been trouble free. Like I said, not built nearly as good as the origionals but they both have been pleased. Grass bagger is excellent.
