[QUOTE="gillhunter, post: 284371, member: 5151"] I bought a new Simplicity 12.5 hp lawn tractor with a 38" mower deck for $3200 in 1991. I had to replace the PTO switch this week for $37. Other then changing fluids, filters, batteries, plugs, belts and blades the only other repair I had was rebuilding the starter in 2003 for less than $100. After 21 years it still works as well as when I bought it. I doubt that anything on it was made China. So after 21 seasons it has only "broken down" twice and costs less then $150 to repair. I wonder if the ones being sold today would last as long? [/QUOTE]
