Honda lawnmower saga has unexpected happy ending...
About two weeks ago I posted about our Honda HR215 self propelled walk behind mower seizing up. I was able to free it up but discovered the block is cracked so it was the end of the road as far as we were concerned.
Two days later, a friend at church sent an email about replacing his riding mower, a 17 year old Honda 4514 twin cyliner liquid cooled hydrostatic 42" mower....for $300....I'm jumped at the opportuntity.
This guy is a professor and is as anal as they get. He replaces all his machinery and appliances on a schedule, and it was the mower's "time". He buys a service manual for everything, maintains everything he owns meticulously, and keeps detailed records. I won't go as far as to say it looks new, but it looks really good for a 17 year old machine, and it runs like a top. I'm very happy to say that it now resides in my shed!
It's more mower than we need for our 1/2 acre parcel, but I've waited along time for a deal like this to come along. The 4 guys in our house are all fighting over who gets to mow next!
