thanks grumpy and deejay,
I have just given the 590 a go on the front and the back lawn (my first time with a reel type mower) Gives a great cut for an old girl but i see your point deejay aboout all the clippings coming back at me. My thoughts are keep looking around for a model 45 for the right price and keep using the 590 in the meantime and hope that it doesnt fail. Sounds like parts are way to expensive and hard to find for the 590.
If i did come across a 45 that needed some work, would many of the parts be compatable?
