$250? Wow. What a bargain.

I usually keep some spare belts for it on hand, as it seems to go through belts pretty quick. The deck height adjusters all broke, but were pretty easy to jury rig. The tongue on the pull bar broke, so I beefed that up, but I've been pretty rough on it. Ive hit several stumps with it, and bent the spindles, but replacements are pretty easy to come by, and a direct fit. The only gripe is that for finishing cut, it doesn't have great air flow under the deck, and leaves clippings under where it's mowed, but overall solid piece of equipment. Also, the tires are chinese junk and dont hold pressure too well, but I can't remember if I replaced them with carlisles, or just check the pressure often. The aluminum in my deodorant is making me forgetful damnit.

I have tubes now in all tires on my old Swisher. I have replaced a couple spindle bearings in it. I have also lost a few belts along with a couple idler pulleys on it.
