I have an old John Deere 180 with 46" deck and the Kawasaki 17HP single. It was given to my BIL who used it for a number of years, then passed it on to me when he sold his home and didn't want to move it. It was given to him by a church member when the church member bought a new one.I've only replaced blades, tires, seat and the muffler when it blew out. Bought the muffler off eBay for $31.00 including S/H. Oil/filter changes and air filter at the beginning of the season. 2 1/2 acres every 2 weeks April - October.Wish I could find a low mileage one as the spindles are getting noisy. Very dependable.
