It probably was a great deal, considering what this new crap costs, your 125 will still be able to run, when a new one your neighbor buys at Lowes is scrap... my neighbor across the street bought a new Husquavarna what, 5 years ago? and has what I call a small yard/ 95X160 just like mine... He died about 1-1/2 years ago, his 40-some yo daughter learned to run a rider mower on it last spring, called me because of a flat tire/ I started it up and that Kohler Courage is more than ready to spill its guts. She said it started knocking and smoking the last time it got used last fall, she made a bee line to the garage and there it sat til I started it up a few weeks ago.... while my 129 still runs great, just starting to smoke a bit, and IDK that it has ever been rebuilt in all those years....
heck you go buy a new Cub RER itll cost $1600.... the Troy version (Identical machine but red) is $1300..... I don't expect to last more than 3 seasons as "cheap" as it looks---- and that's on an in town yard, on flat ground, and not overtaxed by letting the grass get outta hand...…
