[QUOTE="cowtrek, post: 278959, member: 2847"] Can't speak from experience on the Husqui mowers but here's what I do know from experience. We've got a Husky sold by TSC and it's a good mower. Had a little belt problem and carbuerator but these small engines now are overplumbed anyway and occassional belt replace is to be expected. My grandmother had a Western Auto mower that is absolute crap. The spindle and bearing housings on the decks are absolute junk. They are made out of pot metal and have three bolts that attach them to the deck. The vibration and shocks from hitting little sticks in the yard end up breaking at least one a season, sometimes both, and they're like $30 apiece to replace. They aren't even threaded for pities sake and they come with three self-tapping bolts to install them on the deck. Complete crap! My TSC Husky has a pair of ball bearings inside a common flange riveted together and bolted to the deck. I've never had a problem with them at all and I've used that mower a LOT more than the Western Auto one! My Dad used to use the TSC mower in his yard as well and chew up some pretty big limbs since he wouldn't pick them up and other than replacing a worn out set of blades the bearings and spindles have held up very well. Before you buy one, be sure you check out stuff like that and make sure it's made to hold up, and not designed to be a constant moneymaking 'replacement part' for the dealer. Good luck!
