Me too and I could have used one of those blowers. I'd have picked up that stick edger too and sold my MTD 4 wheel edger and my PE2000. Would have liked to have that mower too. It was all gone except the trailer, mower, and big mower 2 hours after the ad was posted. I need some kind of RSS feed for instant notification of deals like that ;)
 
Yep, can't beat the price ;) I've had 2 and both were reliable and cut well. I haven't had a chance to mess with this one yet but he told me the self propel isn't working. I pushed in the personal pace bar and pulled backwards and sure enough it pulls backward with no problem. I could be wrong but I don't think that's a loose belt problem. Hoping it's nothing more than wheel gears or pinion gear. Or maybe the cable needs adjusting.

Good price.

That's a good cutting mower. My mother has one and loves it.
Does it run and cut ?

I worked on one that froze up after oiling it, and forcing it forward a little it took off on its own again. It was kinda dry around the wheel bushings causing it to make the belt slip.

This one doesn't seem to have been maintained at all ;)
Tried to start it and the rope would pull at all. I removed the sparkplug and pulled and blew oil out the hole. Drained the oil and removed the intake and carb which were full of oil. The air filter was caked with oily sludge.
I bought a mower just like this a while back that was overfilled with oil and after I cleaned it out it ran great.
I cleaned the intake and carb and put the sparkplug in and it still doesn't want to pull. I'll have to look deeper. Stuck valve?
On the self propel the wheels and gears look good. Must be the belt or the tranny. I'm guessing the belt.

Yep, or shear key on the flywheel.
