just as an aside max,

our local mower shop (got no idea about ehre expertice?) has a
rancher2 painted green (never seen this colour before but it is all
over job, looks pretty solid it is the old box steel framed model i
think it should have the next gear box up from the old 3 forward speed
reliable unit, but just saw it outside his workshop doesn't appear he
is working on it, bound to be lots of mower shops around with second
ahnd units they may be the best outside of direct private sale for a
machine.

something like that even if you bought a new briggs or honda to drop
in it will give a you a very nice machine, and still have some resale
value in the end.

only 3 belts involved on them, the blade belt being the most highly
consumable
