Just an FYI..........I have a Timemaster that I bought in 2011. Love it, but have had to make a couple of repairs after about 5 years. New Bearings for the blade drive and a new transmission. I wash the mower after each use. Turns-out that this may have caused more harm than good. I had always been proud of myself for taking such good care of it. However, apparently they just aren't built to handle the moisture. Bearings seized and everything that wasn't painted rusted. :confused2:The repairs are fairly easy and well worth it. I'm not much of a mechanic, but it took me only about an hour and a half to put a new transmission in. It is like a new machine now. There are only a couple of choices in the large walk behind class and this machine is by far the best.
