Ok with all the talk about the weak gearboxes in the Honda 216 and Potentially the TPE 21 (the old model Honda) what do people think is a fair price for a Rover Pro cut 560 (I am willing to accept a clapped out engine for replacement by either a B&S 850E I/C or a Kawa FJ180V Although I suspect that spares for that engine in AU might be thin on the ground, Whats interesting is that it has an oil filter and a fully presurised lubrication system.)

What were the 560's like or did the Honda 216's eclipsed them in both mowing and engine performance.

The 560 looked like a good machine (even when made in China) that Rover threw away to go down market. I have to say I didn't like the 21" MTD's that are badged as Rovers with the Loncin engine.
