As a positive note, if the PO's did not do things like

wack with hammer

wrap with baling wire

refill with wrong fluid

let fuel go stale

neglected to ____________(fill in the blank)


then these machines would not be available to those of us NEW OWNERS that are enjoying them now!!

The PO would still be running them!!
LOL!!! My Dad mostly, and probably 1 previous owner, did every single thing on that list to my 149. She's ready to mow right now though!

At the end of the day though, i'd much rather have this old cub than a disposable plastic and tin riding mower...
My exact thoughts as well... I'm fairly sure I'm over $2500 into my 1650 and I still think that's a bargain!

That's a fine looking 1100 you have. Hope she keeps serving you well!
