Hi Max,
Poor bugger paid $500 for it off marketplace, I didn't ask him if the drive was working or if he was told it needed a cable adjustment which I see all the time, I would love to know where all these mongrels get off with selling stuff they know is junk. Apart from that Max the kid is lifting the mower in and out of the back of his car which is amazing but it is going to end in tears because he will hurt his back.. Ariens and Deutschers are heavier and a bit too big for domestic lawns and this kid has just bought a mower and wanting to start mowing some lawns. I don't really have an answer for him at the moment
