If I knew how to I would have lol I'm looking for a 4 stroke mower but not sure what to look for.

O.K well briggs motors are a good idea because they are super popular and generally a good engine. Then you want to look at the quality of the deck and wheels. The better mowers have better bearings in the wheels. If the deck is steel you want it to be as heavy a gauge as possible and generally an alloy deck is even better.

Generally a maintained Briggs will outlast at least a couple of steel decks. Usually what kills a mower is the deck and/or wheels. Keep that in mind and it becomes simpler.

That said if you got the yardman for a hundy would it really matter if it didn't last a long time!

The mower in question has a Briggs Quantum motor and if it goes for around $150 - 175 it should be OK. It looks in reasonable condition and that steel deck will be a bit better quality than the ones around today.

Is it 2 or 4 stroke!
jmma, Dec 11, 4:59am

So you think to go for it!
jmma, Dec 11, 5:06am
Yes, If you can get it for the right price, just need to ask if blades OK, if any known probs etc,

Heap of shite. Wouldn't touch any mower that wasn't genuine Honda.
jmma, Dec 11, 9:20am
OK if you have the money (o:
Honda is usually overkill for a domestic lawn anyway.

I've had Briggs & Stratton powered mowers for neigh on 45years now and my folks had em for around 20 odd before that and we never had any problems with them apart from blades needing replaced and regular maintenance done.
Reliability with them goes same as that of your car.neglect it and it won't last long.
My most recent one has been doing a stirling service for the last 22years and still starts up first pull.
I have nearly 3/4 acre to mow by the way.
