Well, it's just a 4hp Briggs is all it is on this one, anyway. There are different model levels of this one and some have the full pressure Kawasaki engines, with oil filter, on them. But they all share the same deck. Compared to a 6.5hp Duraforce Lawnboy, the lawnboy is a clear winner. But those Duraforce engines can be cantankerous at times or you get one that runs great all the time. Mine has lost spark again. As much as I like 2 stroke Lawnboys I just plain got tired of working on the one I've got. My main mower is a Troybilt with a Honda engine. All you've got to is look at the pull cord and it starts and it has variable drive. The more you squeeze the lever the faster it goes. The Deere is a manual 2 speed trans. 1st gear is more my speed anymore. It's a comfortable, easy walk. 2nd gear will give you a good cardio workout. And it, too, starts by looking at the pull cord.

My Dura Force starts first pull, form what I've been told if the main jet is made a little bigger it helps them alot.

Can’t like that Mark. Glad you are ok. One of my guys lives in Marengo. All trees in front yard down one on the house one on his truck.

Evening All! Looks like everyone having a good time between storms and life... Congrats Steve on the retirement!!! I'm getting to enjoy an A.F. imposed quarantine, because I had a nasty sinus infection, but it checked most of the boxed for the chinese virus, so I got tested and am waiting for an answer. I was hammered on the couch from Thursday to Sunday, and only started feeling human again today. Should have an answer by Friday I hope...

I also broke my Triumph. I think I broke a transmission shift detent spring. Either way you have to split the tranny case to find out, which apparently means you have to deconstruct the engine, as the crank case is also the tranny case... 9-13hrs min on labor to do so, at $100/per, and that doesn't factor the oil, coolant, and whichever parts went south... I figure this will be around $2K all said and done...

Now I'm looking forward to getting my 550 back from Kevin, with an attitude adjustment. At least that'll be a bright spot!!
