Ride on Lawnmowers

I can only comment on smaller (push) mowers not the ride on type.

Let's just say this. I will NEVER again buy a certain very well known iconic Australian brand fitted with a Briggs and Stratton motor.

Yes, these mowers are very poorly made, with thin sh!tty pressed-steel bodies that rust like mad from day 1.

You would think the idiots would understand that the base of the mower gets hit by rocks and covered in damp grass?!

If you are "environmentally conscious" and/or cheapskate like me, you will find the older ones had a magnesium base alloy that lasts forever, I have recovered several from roadside throwouts or from the scrap metal guy, for the various properties I have to mow. The parts often interchange. Usually I had them working very quickly, the carb get blocked with crud.
