How many of you gardeners have junked your mower in the third season?

LawnBoy.....16 years. I keep it maintained and the blades sharp. It's
never
let me down. If you're throwing out your mower after 3 years, it sounds
like
you may not be storing it properly through the winter months. Proper
storage
and some basic maintenance should keep a mower going for much longer than
3
years.
