I'm surprised to hear that the mower machanics turn them down. I won't disagree on how the 45 easyier to work on but it seems the diplomat has less working parts to go wrong. Its so basic in design. I was qouted $140 for a reel& bedknife sharpen plus fitment which I thought was reasonable where just to get the same on the 45 and i put it back together cost $90..
mmm the 430 width is the same as my model 45's I thought.. must investigate later..
