However, my Honda HR214PXA non-self-propelled Lawn Mower was 23 years old on April 21st; it still starts on the first pull and has never had anything replaced except the blade, rear bagger, air filter, sparkplug, and oil. I almost had a stroke when I paid $553.75 for it in 1989; but it has more than paid for itself!
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

1990 Craftsman Push mower (Briggs and Stratton powered)
Troy Bilt "Pony" from '91 (Before they were bought by MTD with Tecumseh power)

Homelite Backpack blower from '96 or so.
I have a Craftsman weedwhacker from 1990 that ran just fine until last year when the ethanol finally ate out the fuel line. Just have not gotten around to rebuilding the carb and putting new fuel line on. I replaced it with a TroyBilt that takes multiple implements (string trimmer, edger, hedge trimmer, mini tiller etc) That is a great tool. The mini tiller is great in the flower beds or weeding between rows in the vegetable garden!
I drive out of the way to get real gas for the 4 cycle and I only run the Tru-Fuel premix in my 2 cycles now... So much easier to make sure it is always fresh and no ethanol.
