Default thinking of buying this lawn tractor any opinions ?

My Sears tractor is 20 years old. I've put a lot of work into keeping
it running. Sears no longer makes repair parts available. When I
bought the tractor they said parts would be available forever. Now,
the limit is one year. Check parts availability and get the contract
in writing!

the kid at Sears was trying to be helpful but he looked like he was 16 and I
doubt he ever rode a lawn tractor never mind owned one.


Consumer reports gave this one a best buy at $1649.00, guess it was on sale.

CR also liked a John Deer for the same price and same options as the first
mower


I think I want to stay away from splash lubrication (but my old Toro is
still kicking after 15 years and it has splash)

And I'm not sure about a V twin engine on a mower, any thoughts ?

I can picture myself driving around on one of these with a sharp shovel
trying to kill those moles !
