I am in a bit of a pickle. I have an exmark 36" metro whose Kohler engine just hit the grave today (4 year old engine on 5 y.o machine. Mowing/cleanups for me starts Monday (30sh residential houses, keeping my college debt minimal! ) and I am already behind with this nice weather/out of town last weekend.
My options that I can think of would be (while searching for a new engine):
Renting a mower (Unfortunately don't know if any available until Monday at 7:30
Craigslist (Cub Cadet G1436 for $1100 - but all I read about Cub Cadets is poor)
There was also a Gravely walk behind, 13 h honda engine for $750
New mower (brand/model suggestions?)
Question: What do you guys suggest? I figure the engine will cost $800sh, and I could possibly sell one back once I get the exmark replaced. Granted, I could just hold onto it so this doesn't happen again
