Hi MS,

I wouldn't be put off buying one if you can still find one at a dealer in the box. I know one dealer here in South Australia that would still have a few on hand.

The only thing required for them as spares would be the blades themselves, everything else is pretty well bulletproof. The engine are Briggs units and as such spares for those will be plentiful I'd say and if looked after the handlebar assembly should never require replacing as would the chassis either for that matter.

I'll look into it and see what's still available here.

Cheers,
BB.
