Gentlemen, start your mowers!

I would suggest not using coating, that is a *b-word to remove, in case of repairs.

Oh I agree, I was talking about sheet metal surfaces that are seldom disturbed and just need protection.

Been without a push mower for a couple years. With a decent 42" zero turn we've been getting by, but I've been keeping an eye out for a good one. Wanted to try a cordless one, but I don't use it enough to spend the $$, especially since I'm only on the Milwaukee platform and theirs is super spendy. Kept seeing people recommend the old Hondas, so I scored this one when it popped up. $150 and some maple syrup. Seems to be about a 1985 vintage. I like the pull cord placement, and that because it has a blade clutch, the motor keeps running until you turn it off, so you can release the clutch, move the lawn chairs and go back to mowing without yanking the rope. It starts on the first pull anyway, so not a huge deal, but it's a cool feature. Came with the bag, discharge chute, and mulch plug. Runs like a top. I hope it'll give us at least 10 more years without much trouble.

Husqvarna with a Kohler electric start and hate it. Needs to be primed to cold start every time. Previous owner had it serviced for this issue and was told "It's Fine". Was only $50 so won't lose anything on it either.
