So I managed to bend the crankshaft (probably) on my 3yo Craftsman with a Briggs & Stratton engine. It seems that engine replacement cost is probably prohibitive, so I'm in the market for a new mower.
I know Honda is the sheeit, but I don't want to spend that much money. I'd like to keep it around $400.
I prefer self-propelled, but light weight is more of a concern now that I've been pushing this 80lb thing around for a few years.
High durability is a plus, although I don't think anything could withstand hitting the edge of a sidewalk (just bent the blade when that happened) or a tree root (common in my yard, and the fatal blow)
Anyone have any suggestions? Or should I try to get this thing fixed?
