As a kid we had a old 11 hp Agway mower. Man I really miss that mower. She ran for 14 years! It's a MTD product....but IMHO the Agway mower never faulted and was a blast to use. It was fast too! Seven speed! No separate deck height and pto. The PTO turned on as you lowered the deck. I haven't seen that on a mower since!
