Bummer on your mower. I had too replace mine two seasons ago with a new zero turn. Cub Cadet RZT50VT with a 26hp B&S
I am thinking of selling it though and repairing a larger deck I have for the Kubota. I also may be building a larger mower / snow blower with a GM v6 I have sitting in the barn.
I also repowered my old 76 Wheel Horse A90 with a new 20hp B&S.
Hmmm… a self guided grass powered lawnmower. What will they think of next.
Now if they only could make one that produced and distributed it’s own lawn fertilizer, and maybe dispensed delicious beverages on demand… heck, they should self-reproduce too, while we’re at it.
I’m waiting for the day when there will be a genetic altered grass that will only grow 1-1/2 inches then stop, good-by lawnboy. Oh ya, and also infect the weed next to it to the same height.
