Well it happened. I got it. Drove way out in the boonies for it, and found out the starter was bad. But, the guy (named Bo) turned out to be a nice guy. He threw in a new in box starter for it so we exchanged the cash, loaded it up, and away I went. I'll get better pics tomorrow, but here she is. Note: It looks a lot better in person, doesn't photograph well
I will say this; it is BIG. A lot bigger than I expected it to be (though I don't know how small and light I expected a 44" rough cut mower made out of 11ga steel to be). It's rated to tackle up to about a 2" sapling so I can't wait to give it a workout!
